I do understand the pain you are in, break-ups are tough and so often we don't appreciate what we have until it is gone.
However, I think her fear of your temper is a vaild one. It is quite a lot to ask someone to weather violence and be completely confident that one day that violence won't be turned on them.
So for now, I think your best bet is to get help for yourself. I am aware that mental health services in the UK are perhaps not ideal (But really, where are they?). I would definately reach out and try to find a therapist and psychiatrist to deal with the immediate issues of depression and suicidal thoughts.
I would also give yourself some time apart from her while you do this. I think this time needs to be about you and mending your wounded soul. Perhaps constantly seeing her is only making it worse.
Two months really isn't that long and I know that the pain right now is still very acute, so give yourself sometime to adjust.
It may not feel like it now, but the times of the most confusion, pain and darkness are the times with the most potential for change and hope.
