Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. It is not expected to be easy to break up with some near and dear one. But rather than emotionally deciding, see if you really have to do it. If you still feel that you should, I would suggest not to think further.

Various medicines might be useful to you in such a case, but they are all prescription medicines, something we would be unable to write for you. Hence, I would suggest you to see some psychiatrist and to get a prescription of such mood stabilizers. He will also be able to give you some simple tips that will help you in remaining emotionally strong.
