It's being four days now. I don't know what to do, but I'm getting down from time to time and beginning to lose it. I don't know what it is....
Four days accounted was the first time I recounted the circumstances of the break of my first relationship, the final days, and since then I've being going a bit nuts.
I have PTSD, and I sometimes think I'm back then and not here, I feel like I've returned back in time, and the world is covered in darkness.
I'm going insane. Is this hell ever going to end, becuase it's seems sometimes like I've fallen back into this pit forever.

No I haven't broken up just now, I've being single for a while. All I did was recount the story from point a to point b and it made it so real I feel like I'm back there.

It seems like you've been through a lot and you should seek the help of a professional counselor. Are you still in school? They usually have free services. Sorry to hear about your loss and I hope you get better.

If you have ptsd and have come out of it ask yourself how you did it.Due to the fact that you have felt better in the past but feel down when thinking about it seems to me that it is a trigger for you to think about it.What has happended in the past unfortunately cant be change but your thought can be changed.Yep it takes heaps of practice and effort.Constantly re-living bad past experiances will make you feel bad.Some therapy on changing your thought patterns would probably be a good idea.
You havent fallen back into 'this pit forever" as you have said yourself it "seems that you have"Really seeing a therapist would be the way to go.But until then there are things you can try.When your mind wanders back in time say to yourself mind stop it now and keep on practising that...it may take some time but eventually your mind will come to realize that re visiting the past is no longer an option.
Start thinking about things that do make you smile or laugh or feel good.This also takes practice but eventually it is beneficial.
today you might feel down however tomorrow is a new day and you cant predict how you are going to feel.PLS keep trying and i with warm wishes i hope the best 4 u :)

As long as you keep thinking about it, it's not going to end. You have to put it out of your mind and get on with your life. You are not the first person whose been through a relationship break-up but the more you think about it the more it will bother you. You are not going insane and the hell will end when you end it. Get back out among the living. Do something that will make you feel good. quit living in the past. It's over. Life is waiting for you, go for it.

If you know that you have PTSD, that means you have seen a doctor and/or therapist, correct?
Then you know that you need to see one now. If the end of your relationship is making you so upset that it's bringing up all that old pain from your previous trauma, then you need the help of a counselor/therapist to help you work through this now. Your break up has triggered something from the past that you haven't dealt with yet. The whole point of therapy is to learn how to handle these painful situations in a way that keeps you from hurting so badly.
The hell you're in now is NOT going to end until you get help and DEAL with it.

I think the worst is either over or about to be.Just think,you had a life without him and there fore,you are going to have life without him again.Nothing is permanent in life.Change routine,go out often,visit old and forgotten friends and rework a new life and soon you shall be past all this.Give yourself an HONEST chance and you are bound to succeed like millions before you. Good luck.

You need to pray. When you have your attacks, pray. God will get you through this. I used to go through this and the more I prayed, the more I wanted to pray and the less I needed to. Now after a year, I am fine and my relationship with God is stronger than ever.

You will get through it. Have you ever considered medicine such as Lexapro (works for me), Zymbalta or something else?
You could use tons of therapy though. In this day and age, everyone and their mother goes. Don't be afraid. Get the help you desire soon! : )
