Broke off first real adult relationship since...

This past weekend I ended the first real adult relationship I've had since getting treatment for my depression. Other than a brief relationship at the beginning of college, I have been single for the past 9 years. I really went through some painful periods on my own and finally got help. After some time I finally starting testing the dating waters and after several months of misses, I met someone great, who I love and care about deeply. We were together for 6 months and while logically I knew the break up was in both our best interests, I've haven't been prepared for this HUGE onslaught of emotions that I've never really experienced. All the stages of grief are hitting me at once, making me question my decision, cry at the drop of hat, and not sleep well.
This is the first time I've dealt with such strong painful emotions, not directly related to my depression, and it makes me feel so small. In addition, my days are currently spent at a miserable job and I feel like I've blocked out my only ray of sunshine...
HUGS PLEASE.
