DarknessIsMyFriend, you are grieving. Your case manager didn't die, but you still lost an important relationship in your life. Rather than fighting what you are feeling how about letting yourself go ahead and grieve? You are going to be sad. You're likely to feel like crap for a bit and that's okay. It feels terrible, but it's okay. Grief sucks, plain and period, but if we can accept what's happening it does pass.

Good for you for letting yourself cry. Be careful about escaping into the game. Escape can be a good thing for a little bit, but eventually we need to deal with what we are feeling. It's not surprising you had trouble focusing in your classes the next day. Again, it's part of grieving. If you'd gotten the news that someone close to you died would you be surprised you had trouble focusing at school?

Hang in there. Like I said, grief sucks, but things do get better.

BTW, I wanted to comment on your growth in the last year. I've seen you grow and mature a lot in the last year. Good for you!
