I'm looking for a good book to help me through a breakup... I'm 26, my boyfriend and I were together 5 years, he broke up with me 7 months ago and I'm still really struggling. I feel like no one is going through what I'm going through. They're either 15 and getting over their boyfriend of 2 weeks or they're divorced... Any recommendations are welcome.

I was really shy in school for a little bit but then my teacher helped me open up out of my shell! Now I talk too much to everyone.

-Rumors
-Gossip
-Death in the family
-Death of a close friend (don't drink and drive, a drunk driver hit her)

-Bullying
-Me almost dying because of a spider bite that put me in the hospital
-Depression
-Backstabbing
-Insecurity
-my "best friend" left me at the mall by myself to go with some guy, and she drove so I had to call my parents to come and get me
-Stress
-High School
-Epilspy
-Anxiety
-almost homeless
- Lonliness

You know, we all have endured so many things, it has made us stronger and better. I am proud of you all for staying strong and enduring it!

Couldn't have said it better myself Brenda

I've survived living without a father, having both my grandpas die, and finding out I'm bisexual.

Everybody in this group is so strong. You guys are all people I can really look up to for that. <3
