kara, ow ow, I'm in breakup hell too, my home is still pleasant but my job is getting unbearable..
I'm a little out of practice with this, it's been a long time since I last felt such loss, but last I remember my own good advice to self was just sit with the pain, accept that it's grief (a natural healthy response to loss), and that it will end, and the more you can sit with it the quicker it will be over. And try to check your impulses to do things to short-circuit the process (like calling up the idiot and begging him to return), but if you do go for another round, it's OK.. things happen in their own time.
oh, and don't worry constantly that it's clinical depression instead of grief.
