suicidal thoughts after a break up

​

me (18F) and ex (21M) were together for a year. we broke up because the relationship was getting toxic but became on and off for 4 months. this past month, i started to feel like there's a chance that he's willing to fix things up with me officially. but this thursday, i saw a friend of mine storied a picture in a bar and he was caught in the photo, holding another girl. I was more upset because I told him just hours before that I'm having problems regarding family and school. I confronted him about it and he just told me wtf and asked who sent that (zoomed in pic). He also told me that he didn't know what he was doing but clearly he did because he followed back that girl friday morning. On Friday night (7pm), my friends asked him to pick me up for us to talk and for him to drop me home cause I was so wasted/drunk. we talked and he denied that it was him and made petty excuses such as if he don't love me anymore, then why is he picking me up and if he really like that girl, he must be holding her by the waist just like how he's with me. we went to his house because i told him I didn't want to go home and if I could stay for the night. he told me okay and we talked about our situation. he told me he's never gonna commit seriously to me again and he doesn't see me in his future but he kept leading me on for the past few months so I thought we were gonna be something again. after that, i saw his text on his friend sending him the pic and telling him someone sent that pic to me. his friend told him to just deny it and say the person on the photo just looks like him and he actually used that bullshit reason. i can't sleep because I kept on thinking about their picture and he just told me to try and forget it as if he didn't know the trauma I suffered from my ex who also cheated. by 11 pm, his friend called and asked him out to go for a ride (they have bigbikes) then he looked at me straight in the eye and told him he was on the way. I was left alone on the house and before he left, he kissed me and said i love you. I was so upset because we talked about this being our last time together so I wanted to savor the moment but I couldn't speak up. by 2 am, he told me he saw my friend at the bar and I asked him if he was also at the bar and he just said yes. i was so mad that he lied so I told him I left his house at 2 am and i'll walk to get home (10km distance) he saw that and told me to not go anywhere but I was out of the house. I actually went to my friends house instead but he drived til our subdivision and told me where I was because he can't see me walking on the main highway. I just told him to get rest because he didn't have any sleep for 2 days already but still had the energy to go to the bar. he told me he'll pick me up but I just told him to go home and get some sleep. by 3 am, my friend (worker at the bar) told me he went there again. I am so upset and feeling all these emotions because he wasn't even sorry. he know what he's doing is hurting me but still continues to do it. i have a history of mental health problems and this was just on another level. I'm feeling extra suicidal because I want him to regret treating me so shitty. I want his conscience to eat him up. Here I am crashing out and breaking down and he was there partying with other people. he knows this. he knows I'm not doing well but still continued to go out with his friend. any suggestions? how do I make him feel the same way he made me feel.

birthday gift

hii everyone, I need advice. my ex's birthday is on november and I'm planning to buy him a gift/cake for his birthday. we ended on good terms. no cheating involved, our values just didn't align with each other. we tried to save our relationship, we were together for a year then we were on and off for 3 months after the break up but even after everything, we just couldn't make things work. our last convo was me asking him if there's really no chance for us to get back together, he didn't respond after that and I didn't send another message. we've been in no contact for a month now and I want to give him something because he made my birthday special when we were still together so I wanted to return the favor specially I know how much he hates his birthday. Is what I'm doing okay or should I just keep silent and not break the no contact?

hi guys, me 19F and my bf 21M broke up and it was mostly my fault. We were together for 1 year. actually, we've been over since like April but then we went on and off like still seeing each other but not chatting like before. I tried to do casual but I just couldn't. it's really hard to go from being lovers to just situationships who texts whenever we wanna hook up. We stopped communicating on June, and the distance made me realize how much I took him for granted before. My last message for him was asking him to wait for me until I get myself together but there's no response. Right now, he's open that he doesn't want to pursue something romantic with anyone because he's burned out but I want him back. I started working on myself like improving my habits, improving my mindset and overall focused on myself so that if he ever gives me a chance again, then I won't make the same mistakes I did before. our break up didn't involve any cheating, we just got tired of the constant arguments over the little things and we also said some harsh things to each other. I'm giving him space right now but I'm planning on reaching out after a month and giving him a handwritten letter telling him how his absence made me want to be better and asking for a possible reconnection, but I'm not rushing him. I'll tell him I'd wait because I understand that we really did hurt each other. What do you guys think? is it better to leave him alone or give him more time rather than just a month? I'm afraid of giving him too much time because what if he finds someone new and I want him to feel that I didn't give up on him, just like what he did when I was the one who got tired. tldr
