<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

Hey reddit. Me and my ex just broke up last week and it's hurting me so badly every time I think about it. We both had issues to work out, but I always believed we'd be able to make it through in the end if we kept trying to fix the problems. Actually breaking up was a major shock to me.

I've tried to talk to her again, you know, just trying to see her one last time before I get deployed overseas (Navy). She sounds very hesitant to the idea and doesn't seem to really want to see me, reason being that she'd want to get back together with me immediately, and then we'd fuck up again and argue.

I think I actually understand what it means to be heartbroken now. It hurts. If I think about it too much, I start tearing up a bit. I think I've actually gotten physically sick from it, as I've got a fever now and my whole body aches badly. I tried to workout last night and was out of breath and weak during the first exercise. Cut that short. I love playing video games, and just got The Witcher 3, thoroughly enjoying it. Now I don't even want to bother loading it or anything else up. I've just been in bed, playing random shit on Netflix and sleeping.

I guess typing all this is mainly so I can just vent and get it off my chest. I want to feel better. What can I do to stop hurting? Do I keep talking to her, or do we actually need space?
<bot>: Broke up with my girlfriend of 5 years. Looking for advice to stop feeling like shit and whether to keep talking to her or not.
