Bad mood after break up

Hi I've posted a question later, here is the link of that question:
http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Relationships/Long-story-but-need-help--please/show/2694682#post_13036222

After all I said in that post I went to her and I talked to her and now I am sure that she was cheating some how, and her boss came in and attacked me, I left there without punching that man, now it's 2 weeks and I feel very bad, I don't want her anymore because she didn't defend me and I saw her phone and I realized her relationship with her boss is not normal and healthy. But as you all know break up is though and now I'm getting sick and I can't work on my thesis and I can't work at my workplace, I just sit somewhere and do cross word puzzles all the time.

I talk with a girl that she broke up too and we try to help each other but it can't help me all the time through the day.

Do you think I need medicine? I know keep myself busy is the best way but I can't do it, I really can't, please help me.
My problem is being anxious all the time specially after waking up, I think I'm dying from anxiety. Did any one here have this experience?

Hello.  Oh goodness, sounds VERY stressful.  I would have advised against going to her work place as what happened there is exactly what I'd have expected and quite a scene.  But you did and it's over.

I'm sorry you are hurting so much.  I tell you, these situations in a relationship can just rock our core.  So, it is understandable that you are deeply suffering right now.  I do believe time makes things better but this is very fresh.

If you can't function, have thoughts of harming yourself or others, etc. then yes, I think you need to talk to your doctor.  Exercise is fantastic but for clinical anxiety or depression, medicine and talk therapy are the routes to take for recovery.  Exercise is a great stress reliever and does release the bodies natural happy chemical but clinical anxiety needs doctor's supervision and treatment (again, the route to treating anxiety and/or depression is best taken with a combination approach, medicine, talk therapy and life style things such as healthy living (eating well, exercise, rest).  

the reason I use the word clinical is because we all have stress and anxiety from time to time.  That is different that when a doctor diagnoses anxiety. They use criteria to judge.  You are in a fresh situation.  If you aren't functioning well and are 'too' overwhelmed, they may feel medication would be a good choice for you.  I don't know---  that is between you and your doctor.

In the mean time, yes, by all means, add some exercise to your days to help combat stress/anxiety.  Keep very busy.  Try to spend time with family and friends.  Get a journal and write all your feelings in the journal (a great release).  Try to look for things to be hopeful about or excited about (think of something you always wanted to do and start planning it).  good luck

I was traveling all this month but even traveling could not help me.

Hang in there.  I know it is hard.  It is hard to believe that time does dull the pain but in my experience it does.  Stick with staying busy and think of one new thing you want to try--  now is a great time to do it~!  good luck

I can't tell you how much I owe you. Thanks.
I'm dealing with my problem, afternoons are the worst time of the days, I go out every night with my friends. But I don't know how much longer I can do this. I'm very very good right now except afternoons.

You could add an exercise routine to the crossword puzzles.  It is tested to be  more effective than anti-anxiety medicine.

That said, there is nothing wrong with seeing a doctor.
