I think you sound clinically depressed, love. It's natural to feel lost and despairing after the end of a long term relationship - especially if it lasted for 3 years and the break up was only 5 months ago. You really can't expect yourself to be over it that quickly, even if you did make the right decision.
You also need to get out and start living a bit more but I realise that this probably sounds impossible whilst you are feeling so low.
It worries me that you can't get out of bed and are shutting the world out. This is more than just "break-up blues" but sounds like clinical depression which needs professional help. Try and get to a doctor as soon as you can for some antidepressants and possibly some counselling to help get you through this.
I've been through this so I understand how horrible it feels but antidepressants really helped me. Remember that this doesn't last for ever and you can start living your life again.
Take care
xx
