Need some help!

Im sorry if I should of wrote this in the Love & Romance one.. but .... I am depressed because of love. Me and boyfriend were dating on and off for a year and then finally a month ago we broke it off for good. We still talk as friends everynight on the phone.. which makes it kinda hard for me because I still love him.. and then to make it even more complicated he has a girlfriend and he lives 28 hours away from me. He still tells me he loves me and he wants to be with me but he doesnt want a long distance relationship and i understand that... and I know that we are still young and we have time to find the "one" but I love him so much and I dont know how to stop cutting myself over him.. and i recently picked up on over dosing on pain killers and puking myself.

I don't want to be one of these people who just tell you to stop doing what you're doing. I know that it's not that simple. But I plead with you to at least attempt to fight the urge to do these things to yourself.
I know for sure that harmimg yourself will not solve this problem.
It is very a difficult situation, but if he is talking to you then I'd say that it's better than not being in contact with him at all. Though it may hurt a lot to only be friends with him, perhaps in the long run the pain of not being his girlfriend will fade and you will be able to be happier as friends?
I know that will hold little comfort for you, but it is the best advice I have.
I really hope that you can start to feel better.
