Anxiety and depression from heartbreak

I don’t know where to even begin.
Ive recently gone through the most agonising breakup in my life.
no this isn’t a first love or second, I was married for 12 years and it didn’t hurt as bad as this one. I’ve been through heartbreak and hurt and yes my anxiety always hit however, ive found my anxiety and depression has really got a hold of me in a way I don’t even know how to process or understand, i can’t leave my bed no matter how hard I try, and when I do I get a cold painful rush through my body.
I feel dizzy and my chest hurts, I can’t function and just want to sleep, I find myself not eating. I feel like a zombie but in so much pain. It feels like it’s not ending.
the worst part is…I don’t have any friends! I’m not exaggerating on that I genuinely mean when I say I have “no one” I try make friends, I’ve tried reaching out, I’ve tried groups etc and nothing.
I'm doing this on my own and I feel even worse.

Hi _ssf,
Welcome to the forum, I am so glad you reached out to us.
My main concern about what you have talked about is that there may be an underlying health problem that is contributing to how low you are feeling. Have you seen a GP about this? If not, that should be your first step. There are GPs that do home visits and you could also start with a telehealth conversation. Your physical symptoms don't seem to be improving and you can't sustain not eating for more than a short time.
Please let us know what steps you have already taken and continue this conversation. You are not alone, we will be here to give you support.
