I think you've made a good and brave decision to take a break packrat.

If I were you I'd focus my energies now, on building up your self esteem. Do some things that you used to enjoy that perhaps you've not done in a while. We often make compromises when we are in a relationship and unwittingly give up hobbies or friends because we are so wrapped up in the person we're with. If this is the case, now is the time to rediscover going out on a Friday night with the boys/ taking your bike for a ride/ going fishing with your Dad/ playing ball in the park with a good friend or whatever makes you happy.

Fill your life with things and you may find the pain of being apart from her is lessened and even that you don't want to go back to her after your break time is over. This is not a time to sit in your room and miss her, reflecting on what you did wrong. There'll be a time for that if the relationship doesn't make it, and that time will come when you're in a more detached frame of mind a few months down the line, when you'll be able to look at what has gone on much more objectively.
