Tbh if you have the money seek a professional it helps having someone to talk to and actually know what do to do with the information they are given. 4chan is like the lottery, It will be uncommon to get an answer from a wise oldfag that can not only relate (because thats easy to do) but help you get of out this.

hi anon i just graduated high school like last year and experienced a very hard and shitty break up like you did in junior year. it ruined me, made me depressed, and i hated myself for the decisions i made because i was angry with everything and everyone.
first off im going to be very straight up with you, it's going to be hard. even more difficult if this is your first break up. it's going to be like that: one day you're completely fine and the next youre extremely depressed and think you've lost progress... let me tell you something, i still think about him a lot. I still check his social media. I dont even know why, i just do. I dont give a fuck about him but its just a bad habit at this point.
my advice to you and something i wish i wouldve done the first couple of months and im pretty sure youve heard some of this before but they tell you this because its true:
Stay busy, cut off ALL contact with your gf, talk to girls (i mean this, it fucking helps with confidence), and as cheesy as this fucking sounds fucking focus on yourself... Dont post about it on social media, dont go talk shit about her to other people (it makes you look stupid and immature), dont even bother with her. find new music, change your room layout, get a pet, find some new interests, or idk invest yourself whatever youre into.
