The damage is done: you two have broken up and it seems like the whole world has fallen apart. The only thing that can make you find your balance again is to get your ex back. In your case, the most efficient way to do so is to stay away from him for a while.
It sounds absurd, I know, but I can guarantee to you that it can get your ex back! Actually, it is the only real chance you have!
Time is what makes people get over their misery, but, like Einstein once said, "time is relative". Therefore, you and your ex need different numbers of days/weeks/months to get over the pain you have caused to each other. Do not think your loved one is not feeling hurt and that he/she is not affected at all by the messy things that have happened between you. Your ex is also in a bad mood, probably worse than you; therefore they won't even speak to you.
Begging for a chance to make it up and get things back to normal is of no use at all. Here is why the exact opposite attitude will get your ex back. Let time be the "cleaner" of your messy situation and chase away all the shadows from your thoughts. Meanwhile, also let time be your doctor and heal your broken heart.
In a non metaphoric language, time will do you good in getting over things and spending it in a pleasant way will improve your state of mind. It is highly recommended to "claim" your social life again: go out, go shopping, take that trip you were thinking of saying "no" to...
That will keep you occupied and you will no longer feel a desperate need to call your ex and demand for explanations and time together.
Your ex also needs to do that. You'll soon discover that you miss each other. Let your lover be the one to make the first step and give you a call. It's safer that way!
