Hmm, this thread seems QUITE derailed at this point...newly single and we're talking about genes, sexual identity, disorders...etc.
At any rate peter12, there's plenty of great advice already. You're 25, enjoy it! This is the time of your life where you should be putting yourself out there, and enjoying your friendships too. Get your mind off everything first, and someone put a good post on how long it takes to get over someone. Give it about 10-12 months, don't get into anything too serious until then.
I was with someone for 4 years, and then something similar happened to me as in your case and I broke up with her. Got into something with someone else 2 months later, and with the original person 6 months later (as a fling)...both were mistakes.
Take a look at yourself, and use this time as a self-learning tool. Honestly don't get so hard on yourself either, I did that a lot and it's not constructive at all. Like I said give yourself time, even when you think you'll never get over it and you'll never be the same.
You're right, you won't...you'll be better and stronger. As cliche and corny as it sounds, I'm living proof as many others are, 2 years later now.
