Hi, welcome
It's extremely sad when we break up a relationship. It is sometimes comparable to the grief of losing someone.
2 days isnt near long enough to begin the transformation to healing. That does take time depending upon your resilience and lifestyle. For example if you have a bust schedule and lots of distractions, you might move on quicker.
So review your hobbies, sports, interests and get busy, very important. Seek out friends you can talk to. Do some writing to yourself, some soul searching. I write poetry and that has always helped me.
It's ok to let out your emotions. If you feel you are losing control walk... walk around the block. Then if still upset, ring the number below or lifeline. These are the actions you need to do in order to remain safe and secure. It isnt easy but personally I've taken those steps and sort help.
Then a few weeks from now you might look back and realise you are now ok and when you find love again you might feel that this breakup might have been for the best.
Life is odd but beautiful.

Break ups are so hard, take time for yourself to heal. It took me 18 months to get over a partner, but I did it and so can you. Be gentle with yourself, I know it's old saying, but it does work. Time heals all, but be patient with time.
