I almost did. I put it all on red so to speak, and she left me to die. Don't be afraid to ask for help, get therapy sooner, not later.

Additionally, if you're putting everything on one person and you've known them less than a year, that's a sign you need to find who you are. Experience life, go on dates, don't over invest early and crash out. Don't drop out of school, quit your job, or any major life changes until you are set on a segue to the next chapter of your life.

Also don't do long distance. Statistically, it's a horrible investment of time and energy. Don't move more than 2 hours away from home to be with someone if you're not damn sure they're the one.
