I've never handled break ups well, but since my mom died it's like I've become a completely different person.
It sounds like a combination of things---that breakup and the grief over your mother. And I had a similar experience with my grief---I couldn't talk about it, so I acted like it wasn't there and wondered why I got even more emotional and destructive.

ty for sharing,
