Adamie --
I have also had a fiance leave me suddenly, at the development of mental illness. At the time it was the worse thing that had ever happened to me. I felt numb inside, and worthless.
To get through it, I went to therapy, started a job that I liked, and started making new friends. I also started dating around, even before I was ready.
Two years later my life is very different. I still struggle with mental illness at times, but I now have a girlfriend who loves me regardless. She can see who I am beyond the illness. Plus, I have built a life for myself beyond the relationship.
I hope that you can have the same thing someday, and that you can -- for now -- find other things to occupy yourself with than thoughts of her. It's time to start living for _you_.
