That's good, it's great to have a good support system. I can imagine that's difficult, that would be a lot of close time together. Have you been able to socialize with friends or colleagues?

if you were in my shoes, what would you do if you broke up with a serious gf/bf

I would lean on my friends, family, and others for support such as a therapist (they're good for unbiased talking), I would also focus on hobbies and things that make me feel better. Most importantly be kind to yourself and allow your self to grieve.
