My girlfriend and I broke up.

Yesterday was sort of the day of mind-numbing, chest-collapsing, unbearable pain, during which I was constantly on the verge of tears and simply trying to stay standing, and today has been the set-in of the automatic defense mechanism of feeling nothing at all to protect my psyche from splitting in two.

Well, that, in between short bouts of realizing that it's actually true and feeling that soul-crushing sadness for a moment before the numbness sets in again.

Sorry to be all -- I hate to use the word -- emo, but I don't feel like I have any other place to do it.
