Answer 1

well. yes and no.
people have done fMRI experiments on "broken-hearted" and found that they have severely diminished blood flow to places in the brain that usually take care of joy and satisfaction. so there is no clear explanation, but some evidence that brokenheartedness is bad for your brain. get over the bastard and repair that heart!!!

Answer 2

Bhagavad Gita As it is BY Bhaktivedanta Give the Scientific explanation to all diseases, and concerns of the heart and mind. The reason we become broken after love is because it is natural. In the spiritual world we only love. God is love. We all have an eternal relationship with Him though some are choosing to forget it. We can not be happy unless we are fully absorbed in that relationship. Every ones is differ ant. In this world called Maya (illusion) we are always suffering due to that separation from that true love. Everyone is hankering after love but it is temporary in this world. It will always end at least in death. And that can be painful due to not realizing our eternal love. For more info go to harekrishnatemple.co Hope this helps your curiosity.

Yes. In behavior analysis we call it an extinction burst. These occur not only in love breakups, but in all areas of life where you were getting some good things and now they're not available any more.

When you've been in a love relationship you have been getting good things out of it, often even when the relationship was bad. You have familiarity and routine, which believe it or not are things people value even though we complain about them a lot.

You have someone who is always there to call or spend time with. You have someone who shares your history in part- and knows things about you no one else knows simply because he or she was the only other person in the relationship.

When the relationship ends the familiar behaviors, secrets, activities, etc. end, too, making it necessary to rebuild a whole new way of thinking and behaving in a large part of your life. The empty feeling is exactly what it sounds like- it's empty of the person, the things that person says, his or her stuff, the stuff you did together, the opportunity to talk about common memories, etc.

Answer 4

I just heard about this on the news. and YES there is. the news said that people can get more stressed out when someone dies (it was talking about loosing a loved one to death, but I am sure it could go the same after a breakup) and its connected to your heart rate not your brain. your heart starts to pump irregularly, but your brain is still functioning the same. People can even die from a broken heart, I am sure you will be fine though since the example they showed on the news was from a married couple and the husband died after many many years together, and the wife did survive though after a fight and willingness to stay alive. I also knew a very old couple (both in their 90s) and the wife died from a heart attack or something while her husband was very healthy, less than a year later he died.

Answer 5

Beautiful Anna Gia; I, too, feel as you. I found out some days ago that my favorite Latina GF has a significant other and is planning marriage. This afternoon, I found out my 2nd favorite white GF is not going to be working here, overseas, near me any longer. Truly, I wanted to hug and kiss them both for hours after wards. It is so depressing to know that people you love are making serious changes in their lives; and that you may not be a part of those changes.

Answer 6

I think physically yes the chemicals in the brain change, the physiology of your body in general changes as others have stated. I also think that emotionally we mourn and grieve loss as self preservation mechanism, even though it doesnt feel like it at the time. Its our body and minds way of saying hey this really sucks lets try and not let this happen again. I think as we get older our relationships get easier and we deal with loss hopefully in a healthier way.

Answer 7

A broken heart is a common metaphor used when a human being suffers an emotional or physical loss, to the extent that it begins to cause them physical or physiological pain. The heart is what keeps us alive. Too much stress or pain can cause the heart to stop. The heart refers to the soul. The soul is where love is stored, when love is broken, your soul is broken...which leads to your heart... which keeps us alive and with a broken soul, comes a broken heart which causes us to be broken hearted.

Answer 8

'S'uper person + 'U'nbelievable dreams + 'C'ool company + 'K'razy times + 'S'olitude = SUCKS.

But that's more like maths.

The realization that unfulfilled dreams and aspirations will no longer be realized with the person that feel attraction to causes a temporary degradation in the relative value of all other goals and aspirations in life even if they could be realised without the person you feel attraction to.

This removal of purpose triggers a form of depression and a feeling of uselessness and lack of worth.

It temporary and that is sometimes the most difficult to accept.

Answer 9

there actually is a logical reason for the pain of a heart break i was reading an article about it , when the body is going through anxiety and feelings of betrayl (just like being heartbroken) the muscles around the heart tighten causing some discomfort thats where they got the saying "heart ache,broken heart etc" b/c your heart is actually hurting, kinda interesting

Answer 10

Yes there is, a person mood affects how a persons hormones are released, ergo the hormones cause the feelings. also we have a complicated body, one that reacts to both phyisical and emotional stimuli, this causes the hormone fluxuations.
