My girlfriend for 7 years recently told me she cannot be with me anymore, and that she's been unhappy with our relationship for the past year. I'm absolutely traumatized. My emotions have gone from blissful and hopeful when I speak with her to cynical and self-destructive when I'm alone. She has made it very clear that she doesn't want to make the relationship work, but wishes to continue being friends. I feel like I'm losing my best friend and I can't even be me, much less a friend. 

I broke down at work crying because of a text she sent me. My emotions are so torn up and I feel silly and stupid for being so emotional. She's advised me to get help but I'm not really even sure who to go to. My brain just doesn't work and I'm riding a rollercoaster of emotions right now. I need it to stop so I can be logical again.

I guess it's also important to note that I recently moved for a job. I'm in a new city with only a couple friends from work. My old friends have been largely unresponsive and I never go to family with my problems because of their critical nature. This has also contributed to my rollercoaster of emotions.

I really need some guidance. Do I need a therapist? Is there something special I need to look for?
