Similar situation about five years ago; dumped from a 4-year relationship in my last quarter at college. Just barely made the minimum grades required to finish my classes and graduate. I hate to say it, but it's going to take time before you start to feel "normal" again. If you don't think your clients will understand your need to take some personal time off (I'd say there was a death in the family), and if you can't subcontract out the work, force yourself to work in very small increments. Set a timer for, say 15 minutes, and do absolutely nothing else but work. Then go back to dealing with the grief process for a bit, and then force yourself to work for another 15. Lather, rinse, repeat. Even if you aren't particularly productive in the beginning (you won't be), you'll at least start enforcing habits. Once you find yourself getting some things done, slowly increase the amount of time you spend dedicated to working. I know you feel like shit right now, but there's a lot to be said about dealing with the break-up process. You'll come out on the other side knowing yourself much better. This probably won't make sense just yet, but reading this helped prompt the turning point for me (when I started to feel like a human again): http://jessicajjohnston.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/ohyes_bukowskipoem_500.jpg http://jessicajjohnston.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/.... Good luck, man. You'll be fine; it's just a matter of time.
