It has been three years.

3 yrs?!?! Yes, therapy will help. It will help you to believe in yourself again, to be more positive, confident, and worthy. I'd say it was his loss not yours, time to move on. Time stands still for noone. You are wasting your life away. Take control of your life, instead of letting it control you. On your deathbed, you might wonder what you could of done during those 3 yrs--wouldn't it be better knowing you did do something?

it might. have you tried reading some self helps books? id say just stay positive. anytime you think about him do something good for yourself. dont just sit with your sadness. improve yourself. but yes see a therapist. thats a long time. if its your first love, i guess it could happen.

Therapy may help. Try to find a new boyfreind - It will be new and exciting.

Yes..therapy can help...it is objective and that is what you need. A therapist is not personally involved and can get great direction. Break ups are hard...but it gets better everyday. Believe that and get some help, dear. Good luck.
