Confessions: I can’t seem to get over my first marriage, how long will this last?

About two years ago, I left a five-year marriage. It took long to decide to leave, and when I did, I felt a whole host of emotions ranging from anger and sadness, to hurt and loneliness. I honestly tried my best to make the relationship work, but it just didn’t. So I keep thinking I should be relieved, and that I should be ready to move on and start dating again. But I can’t seem to get over the failure of my relationship, and feel scared even just talking to men. What’s going on and how long will this last?
