The worst of my post-breakup depression was about a month or two after the initial split. It didn't really sink in until then. I literally cried every time I was alone (even just in the shower, in my car, watching tv, etc), I didn't want to eat or talk, I slept all the time, and I wished that I would just drop dead every single agonizing second that I was awake.
If you can make it through about the first 3 months after your break-up, it WILL get a teensy tiny bit better after that. If it doesn't, then you should seek professional help, ASAP.
Do whatever you need to do to get yourself through this part (except hard drugs or cutting or anything TOO unhealthy). I dealt with it by smoking a LOT, keeping myself busy or moving every second that I wasn't asleep, furiously writing journal entries that only a few friends could read, and massively abusing caffeine and other light drugs.
I'm not saying I recommend all of THAT, but find what works for you. Again, keeping busy, even if it's just organizing things or writing, is KEY.
