I'm braindead after a breakup...what gives?

It really doesn't matter if the lease isn't up if both of you are serious about breaking up. Get a roommate to replace the leaving occupant. The lease is an excuse to stick around and mope to see if things change.

Give yourself at least a year to get back to normal. Breaking up with someone you love actually causes meaurable brain damage.

I'm sorry OP. Don't be so hard on yourself, it's only been a week.
I understand you can't move, but any way you could get away for a week or a weekend or something? Give yourself a break from him?

Because ultimately you are in grieving mode. You have suffered a severe loss and this will take some time for you to recover from OP.

Just like a death, you lost a very special person in your life. This person was very close to you and held a very important place in your heart. You not are being forced to transition to a brand new life without his person and it is a shock to your system.

Take your time, there are no short cuts to the healing process. You may want to cut corners and just get it over and done with, but Mother Nature is stubborn on this.

Feel the pain, let it hurt and hurt. And hurt. During this process, take extra good care of yourself and even allow yourself some special breaks if you feel you cannot handle regular duties of everyday life. If you feel the need to take a "mental health day" off from work, go for it. You need to invest in yourself for now and take care of YOU.

You are in an emotional fog now thus why you are experiencing these personality changes. Thankfully this is only a temporary situation and after your healing is over, your bubbling spirit will return and you will be yourself again...Only much wiser, stronger and braver.

Good Luck to you.

And remember that the best is yet to come for you.
