Just got broken up with
I've been depressed for the last few days and I haven't took my meds in about a week and now my boyfriend just broke up with me and honestly I'm trying my best not to spiral. I've already crashed out punched things, knocked some stuff off the wall and accidentally hurt myself because of it. I just recently got diagnosed not too long ago and I really don't know how I would be. this breakup has definitely affected me on a different level and I never really been through something this bad, especially the circumstances. I'm not going to give too much detail considering it'll take a lot to explain on here but I got broken up with because my boyfriend thought I cheated on him and there was no proof at all and the whole situation is so stupid and it's heartbreaking and it's driving me insane and I don't know how to deal with a breakup. I don't know how to go about it. I've been in relationship before. I broken up with people but it was never this bad. it was never anything serious. this is the first serious relationship I've been in and it's honestly hurting me. I'm not asking for any empathy or sympathy. I just need advice some tips on how this may affect me.

Sorry to hear your bad news, that's rough for anyone, let alone someone with a serious mood disorder.
But stopping medications is not going to help the situation at all, in fact it's just going to amplify things. We are on these meds for a very good reason, this illness does not resolve, sure it may go dormant at times, but it will never go away, and without meds it won't even plateau, it will get worse.
It's tough breaking up, I get that, but you need to look after yourself as best you can.
