maximus, I went through a similar situation. My first gf, of almost 2 and a half years broke up with me in may of last year, two days before my birthday. I was really messed up that summer... feeling all depressed and suicidal. Things gradually got mildly better, but I didn't fully recover until around January... that's more than 6 months. They say that a good rule of thumb is that it takes half the duration of the relationship to get over it. Don't let that limit you, and don't force yourself to stick to it but just let it be a reminder that yeah, breakups suck, and yeah it can take a long time to get over them.
On a side note, I seem to be experiencing deja vu, because the girl I met and fell in love with in february broke up with me about a month ago... and I'm still trying to get over it now. I'm not feeling as bad as I was last summer, but dammnit, summers really f'ing suck
