Antenna damage.

Due to a collection mishap I managed to sever a good portion of a new roaches antennae and it's currently breathing heavily and not moving.

Will it survive, or should I end it's misery?

I feel bad for it honestly. 

Well it just bolted so it may not be a total loss.

Antennae are no big deal. Plenty of mine have lost parts of their antennae for various reasons and go on just fine. Just gives you a feature to pick that one out by and name it. :)  

 
Yeah, they'll grow back in the next molt, unless it was severely damaged in some other way, it should be just fine. :)
