I can see how to get through this!

I can honestly say I've never felt so hopeless in my entire life. I don't know how to get through this. My break-up is two weeks old, I had hopes that we'd be back together by now as we have been after the last 5 break-ups : ( He was always the one to come back..finally this time I decided to make contact only to learn he has no interest this time in getting back together. Now I feel twice as bad! I couldn't stand the pain so I finally contacted him. I feel sick to my stomach all the time, can't eat, can't sleep...the pain feels so great, I can see why people consider suicide after something like this.

Please consider talking to a counselor or at least calling a hotline if you're truly feeling suicidal!
You get through it one hour or even one minute at a time. Gradually, if you don't have contact with him and focus on accepting that you're not right for each other (and if he broke up with you five--or is it six--times, that's pretty clear), you will feel better.
I find that going to movies (actually going out to the movie theater as opposed to watching a DVD at home) helps. It passes a couple hours at a time and you can't contact him while you're in the theater. I've had some breakups where I've gone to 3 movies a day (on the weekend) to help me get through.

I would suggest you spend a lot of time with your girlfriends or family. Or just hang out w/ someone who is very supportive. Try and get out of the house and as Northwestwanderer suggested, see a movie.
You CAN get through this, as painful as it is...just take one day at a time. If you ever need to vent or just talk, let me know and you can email me anytime :-)
Stay strong girly!
