Like Pat said Derek...it's happened to everyone. When my ex left (well...ok...I kicked her out after she cheated), I was so fucking angry and depressed I was seriously worried I'd hurt myself or someone else for a little while. But time heals all wounds, as they say (I'm not sure who "they" are, but whatever). I've always found that during a really bad break-up you sort of go through the 5 stages of grieving...only not in the same order generally. The stages are (in order):

- Denial
- Anger
- Bargaining
- Depression
- Acceptance

You'll probably go through at least 4 of those...not in any particular order. I've found anger to usually be the last and often the most beneficial. That's when you start thinking "Hey...fuck her. I've got my own shit to do" and then you start getting back out into the world if for no other reason than spite. Never underestimate spite...it gets tons of shit done.
