Long story very short, a while back a turbulent (lots of drama), long-term relationship ended because the guy said he was gay. Anyway now he's dating a girl.
Got sent home from college due to crying too much. Might seem like a minor upset but I don't know how to cope with being upset. Reached the pinnacle of complete misanthropy. The only person I used to connect with was him.
(semi-unrelated) Thinking of dropping out of college and training as something that requires little prior qualifications. Maybe body piercing or retail. I don't really care anymore. Can't kill self because my parents only have me as a child and I can't imagine losing a child would be very pleasant. I am not unhappy enough to die anyway, just so incredibly hopeless and pessimistic.

If that was your first relationship "crash", don't worry too much - in such circumstances, everyone would be hurt. It takes a while to develop a tough skin to ward off all the kind of trouble that other people can give you. You'll get better in a while, don't worry (long or short depends on how fast you recover from such events).
By the way, ending a relationship on your terms isn't too bad. My first (and pretty much only) relationship ended when I found out I was being two-timed. Never really recovered from that one either
As for "dropping everything", leave such decisions for when you've got a clearer mind. All those events are probably distorting your vision of things. Also, these days, more and more people are doing exactly that: not getting any qualifications. Within 10-15 years, the job market for unqualified people will be completely saturated, so it definitely isn't a wise thing to do.
