Heartbreak can physically and emotionally hurt someone. “I believe 100 percent that a broken heart and emotional pain can negatively affect physical health,” says Courtney Nesbitt, L.C.S.W. Research has shown that when someone has been through a breakup they have similar brain activity as when they are shown a picture of a loved one. Researchers concluded that rejection, emotional and physical pain are all processed in the same places of the brain. “When both the parasympathetic system (part of the nervous system) and the sympathetic nervous system are both turned on, you can experience chest pains and discomfort,” says Meghan Laslocky.
There can be some positive effects of heartbreak like strength stems from resilience, which is where they can feel comfort in knowing that you were able to overcome the hurdle (heartbreak) and that you are absolutely capable of bouncing back from the sadness you feel at that time period.

Having a break up seems to be a greater loss for males than females, because females experience intimacy with same-sex friends, and males usually do not. The article states that young men may be more vulnerable to the ups and downs of romance because in many cases it’s their
Heartbreak is something that everyone goes through at least once in their life, if they are lucky. However, us as humans always trying to avoid this conflict at all means possible. Ending a relationship with someone that you have loved with your whole being is one of the most challenging things to accept. While this conflict that I would like to address is not one that personally involved me, I have been affect and defined by it. It all began in 1990, my mother and father met in a bowling alley by the name of Cedar Lanes. It was almost love at first sight, they both came from troubled past and hard previous relationships. They bonded over their passion for music, dancing, bowling and above all else their love for their children. My mother had a son, my brother David, from a previous marriage. Her first marriage was to the man that my brother calls father; it lasted roughly ten years. During this ten years, this man managed to destroy my mother in every possible way. He had physically, emotionally, and mentally abused my mother for the majority of their marriage. While it took her a while to understand her worth, she managed to escape and make a full recovery.
The helplessness I felt as I sat clenching my head in the murky, brisk night. The words “ I will always love you no matter what”, repeatedly played in my head like my favorite melody. The feeling of your hands riveting my face as you gave me one last kiss overwhelmed me with heartache. The pessimistic stare you gave me as you proceeded to say, in a sorrow manner, “Goodbye Jo”, haunted me forever. The moment I never thought would come about came into prospective right then, you were no longer mine.
Undoubtedly, the experiences serve as lessons learned. Dealing with a broken heart is never an easy task—sometimes people fall
“How could you mess up so badly?” you repeatedly ask yourself thousands upon thousands of times. Staring at the ceiling in your bed you’re nearly motionless as you’re consumed with all of the thoughts racing through your mind. This goes on weeks, you feel incapacitated and frozen, but the world doesn’t stop with you. Everyday is a constant battle to get up and fulfill your responsibilities, despite your current state of affairs you manage to keep going. “Marin” you say to yourself “You can keep on going.” Eventually the negative feelings subside and you feel like yourself once more. Without even noticing it you’re back to hanging out with your friends regularly and it’s almost as if that heartbreak never occurred. Then the cycle continues, you meet another person and the same thing happens. Though you get stronger after each failure, your hope to find love does not cease. Maybe I’ll run into him today you say to yourself, no maybe not. One seemingly normal day you bump into him by accident. Locking your eyes you both say sorry at the same time and laugh a little. “I’m so sorry” you say with a little laughter seeping out
Psychological effects of losing someone are stress, depression, anxiety, angry, numbness and other grieving symptoms. Grief is how we respond naturally to a loss or any kind. A person
Recovery comes in different forms, but it follows the same process, no matter if the pain is physical or emotional. Recovering from my wisdom teeth extraction became a symbolic process mirroring my ever slowly healing heart. What I learned surprisingly, was that recovering from a broken heart is much like recovering from losing wisdom teeth.
You can have your heart broken by anything like losing a family member, your love one breaking up with you or your favorite character from a book or show got killed off. In my case, I went through a break up with my long term boyfriend. We were together for two years, I broke up with him and five months later, we reconnected and got back together but after three months of getting back together, he dumped me . I was fifteen when we first got together and we were different, he loved to go out at night, went to parties, which he did not have rules and regulation and well me, I was the opposite. I didn't not like to go out to parties, loved to stay at home, and had rules and regulation. That changed when I started to get older, I got to do more
It may hurt to lose someone after loving them, such as in the Book Thief when Liesel lost Rudy, her close friend. She loses someone that she cares about deeply, someone who she loves, though her memories with Rudy help her to recover. If Liesel had spent the rest of her days crying over his
As dulcet sounding a perfect relationship is, having obstacles is important in every relationship, especially in an adolescent relationship because every heartbreak, every vulnerable point is setting a foundation for a better oncoming relationship (complex). Webster dictionary describes heartbreaks as “crushing grief, anguish, or distress”, this time of crisis gives the couple time to grow and gain strength (complex)(New York Times 3). As dissembling as it sounds, heartbreaks can lead to comfortability; one can feel comforted knowing that that person was able to overcome that setback and that one is capable of bouncing back from an intense sadness(complex). This lessons that is learned from relationships in the adolescent years, can carry over
Breakups are hard, to say the least. It’s a similar idea to being addicted to some sort of drug and going through withdraw. Well, that would be in the most extreme of cases, anyways. Many people deal with breakups in different ways. What is generally expected would be a lot of crying and maybe some anger mixed in. Some people are calm about it, to the point of it showing no effect to them. Usually, I would see myself being the calm person, yet I find myself in my ex’s closet, looking out on an empty room in an attempt to see whatever he could be doing.
We live our lives waiting for who we think is the perfect person, but in reality that never happens. When we hear the word relationship, we think of a man and a woman. Being in a relationship is more than just being intimate. There are different kinds of relationship such as husbands and wives, parent and child, or just friend to friend. Some people say it takes two people to make a relationship fail. When two people meet, they usually know from the begining if they want to be with that person or if they want to pursue a relationship.
I can feel myself slipping, falling into the dark abyss. My mind whirls as I listen to a cacophony of noise around me. Then I feel the frigid water envelope me and it stings like knives burrowing their way into my skin, piercing every inch of me. I try to breath, but the water clogs my throat and threatens to drown me. Then it all stops and I feel the sunlight filter through the icy water and brush my fingertips, as if it is telling me that I will be alright. This is what I felt like when my heart got broken by the person I believed to be my true love. The dark abyss is depression and the drowning is the waterfall of tears. While the knives are the pain you feel, and the noise is the sound of your heart shattering into a million pieces as you read the text that tells you it’s all over. But the sunlight is your family and friends coming to comfort you and to tell you that everything will be alright. This essay is my story of how I found love, lost that love, and was betrayed by a friend.
As a young child, my great grandparents were my world. They cared for me, they took me places, they showed me love and affection and mostly they just admired my existence. At one point in my life me, my mother and my siblings actually lived beside my great grandparents so I could see them and be around them at any time of day because I used to go to their house every day after school, which that was the greatest thing to me because I had that same love for them just as they had for me. So one could say that my great grandparents had a huge role in my life as they helped my mother raise me to be who I am today.
Sadness , sorrow and rejection unfortunately, are strong and powerful human emotions, that affect every single human being. Sorrow makes deep scars; indeed, it writes its record ineffaceably on the heart which suffers. We really never get over our deep griefs;
