Do you ever find that you're so heartbroken that you can't eat?

Answer 1

yes :(

Answer 2

I know this sounds heartless, but you will get over it, and you're not the only person in the world who's had their heart broken. It happens. It means this relationship was not meant to be, and that maybe you'll be more carefull who you choose next time.

If you're extremely needy emotionally -- this means you don't think you can live without someone -- you need to find ways to relate to people without being such an emotional burden. It is not attractive to those who ARE emotionally healthy.

I know life can be difficult, and that it takes a certain amount of trial and error before you get it right, but it can be done. Believe in your own innate goodness and go out and get involved in the world. Find healthy activities that help others -- it's good for the soul!

Answer 3

Yes, I have experianced this. I have lost two children and I found it difficult to both eat and sleep. It is very difficult to get past grief, but I assure you it does get better over time. It may seem that the pain will never ease, but that cliche "time heals all wounds" is actually true. It depends on the person and the level of grief how long that time may be though. I found it to take years in the loss of my children, and yet less when I lost my husband. Strange but true, and we are all different, so we all experiance this differently.

I wish you the best and hope you recover sooner rather than later. Try to keep busy as that distracts, causes you to feel hungry and helps in sleep issues. I also found discussing my feelings with somebody I trust to be of great help. As I said before though, we are all different and as such each of us process things a bit differently.

Answer 4

Only for a few days. Then I remind myself that it's the other person's lost and move on.

Eat!

By not eating and mourning over a breakup, you give that other person too much power over your life.

You can best believe that the other person isn't missing a meal over you.

So eat!

It's not the end of the world. And the sun is still gonna come out tomorrow.

Answer 5

yes. fortunately human beings are resiliant and we bounce back. we do need to allow ourselves a little time to grieve after a traumatic event or great loss. Go ahead and cry as long as it takes until no more tears are left. Then get up, take a shower, and try to face life again. My thoughts are with you. Best wishes.

Answer 6

Not any more but yes when I was younger it did happen. Then I decided theyn are not worth my health and I moved on. As should you if you are going through this right now... I wish you love and happiness. Grant M in Pennsylvania

Answer 7

Truthfully, one of my friends is going through a situation where she hurt her boyfriend, and is regreting every moment of it. they ended up spliting up, and right now she barely eats anything. and as it is she is very tiny. She is so upset and disappointed with herself, that she cant stand the sight of food, and her stomach is always queezy. So i can understand where you are coming from. But dont allow yourself to completely stop eating. its not at all healthy. try eating things that wont upset your stomach... like crackers, toast. ad make sure you still drink enough. you dont want to be come dehydrated.

Answer 8

When my first wife left me in 2000, I could not eat or sleep for a week. After my second wife left me, I stayed drunk for seven months. After my third divorce, I stayed drunk for two years.

Heartbreak is a killer.

I can think of nothing worse.

Answer 9

Yes, been there, done that. You can be so overwhelmed that all you want to do is sleep. No appetite, no desire to talk to anyone. It can do strange things to you. I lost 15 pounds over a broken marriage.

Answer 11

Yes and its the best bit about a breakup - dramatic weight loss
