What should i do now?

So me and my gf (17F) broke up about 1 month ago. Lets call her "Sara", and i think im going into depression (not the topic, but it contributes).
We ended things on mutual terms after being together for 11 months.

A bit of backstory, we go to the same school, class and are in the same friendgroup. We are all friends and care for eachother, but she can only comftorably talk to 1 guy in the group. Lets call him "Adam". Sara and Adam are great friends, and i am also friends with Adam. But before me and Sara got together so was she a little intressted in Adam. Acording to her so wasnt anything romantic.

Back to the present. Of course now after we broke up so has Sara been talking to Adam a lot more, which i respect. My problem is that i am a overthinker, so i easily overthink that i just got replaced or something.
But what i most overthink of is that they are catching feelings for eachother. And im afraid that its true because i still love Sara.
Over the few days so have they been talking to eachother almost constantly, and also talking about eachothers intrests.

Sara has always been an introvert and independent girl, but recently so has she been texting Adam a lot aswell.
And whenever i asked if she needed any help with stuff when we were still together, so would she respond with "no i got it", "i can figure it out", "i dont need help" most of the times. But now when Adam offers help so does she accept it.
I dont know if its because Adam doesnt know that shes doesnt like help, or that shes just being friendly.

Another thing why i struggle with this is because i also have trust issues, and i have asked both Sara and Adam seperatly if they had any romantic crushes. Both said no, but the trust issue says otherwise.


I have a bunch of problems right now that arent related to this, but i believe that it contributes to the overthinking.
I am going to start going to therapy to help with this, so am i very happy over that.

If anyone has a suggestion on what i can do, or want to know some more?
So am i happy to hear and say it.
Otherwise so am i just happy that you read this.

Live your life , go out and see the world and breath the air, listen to the birds, and enjoy the miracle of nature. Smile nicely at strangers, read a classic novel, enjoy music.

She is 17. They change feelings like a dryer sheet. Move on.

1) You said it was a mutual terms break up. She is eventually going to find someone else. Is it somehow worse if she falls for someone you both know and trust to some degree? Would it be better if she fell for some random stranger?

2) Sometimes loving someone means wanting them to find happiness even if you aren't the source of said happiness. If you love her, support her in finding happiness. If you can't do that, then maybe you have been in love with the idea of possessing her rather than living her as her own person.

3) She's going to see you being too friendly and supportive in her day to day life as an attempt to rekindle the relationship. She's trying to establish boundaries to prevent that. As her friend, be someone she can come to if she needs to but stop pushing yourself into her space.

4) Therapy may be useful. Also, find a productive hobby to spend your time in and that you can think about instead of dwelling on the relationship.
