Hi @forest_falcon
I'm so sorry that you've been placed in this situation. It sounds conflicting and tough. I know how hard it can be to have to break up when you don't want to, but the situation doesn't permit staying.
It's great that you respect her decision! I suppose on her part is quite admirable that she doesn't want to put minimal effort into the relationship, which shows some respect for you as she wants you to be with someone who invests in you.
It sounds tough having to see her all the time, however, how are you coping with this? I'm glad you have friends to discuss this with, so you have some support. Does your school maybe have a counsellor you can discuss this with too, if you feel the need to get some more coping strategies under your belt? I'm wondering too if maybe you have any methods of self-care or hobbies you could do to elevate your mood? I remember during my last breakup I got very into craft and creating helped a lot, though hobbies are subjective.
Definitely don't rush into meeting new people, also, if you don't feel comfortable. Remember that it takes time to heal and move on. This is time for processing what has happened so that you can move on in the future. For now, just be gentle with yourself and try to look after yourself.
