Hi OnceBitten,
I’m sorry to hear that you’re struggling. Is there perhaps a finality with this break-up? Do you feel like this is the big one? It could be the reality of the situation causing you distress.

Hey Oncebitten
Its three weeks now for me... I felt at worst after 1.5 weeks (anxiety and shaking all over my body). From two weeks and on it became better and I started to see clearly why we broke up.
Try to hang out with friends and family, talk with them about how awfull you feel and why this is the right decision.
My best friend had to reassure me I did well and there's nothing to blame myself for so happy she helped me all the time.

Sure panic and anxiety are normal. The pain will never end until you choose to end it by breaking up for good.
Perhaps the saving board is more appropriate for you?
