During the breakup eating was hard and depression was devastating but with time you heal

[josephkodaj]

During my breakup, I lost over 50+ lbs. It was devastating! Although the weight loss was great for my motivation because I was almost down to my goal weight, a lot of people were worried about me and thought I was sick when in reality I was heartbroken! The depression was horrible!

[wrestlebdk]

This really is true, I lost sleep, had trouble eating and was just in a constant fog at the time. It does get better though

[rickewi]

Oh man, I had it all! Everything you mention, I had it all. I was depressed and I got burned out. Now I feel so much better, even though I still can feel the effects from it.
It will get better, I promise!

I cried the entire week after the breakup. It felt like a month. Just knowing I would probably never see that person again, be around that person or talk to that person again was very devastating!! I think we cry to get all the pain out and I couldn’t believe how painful it was. The crying sporadically lingered beyond that week too. Now, nearly 5 months later is far less painful, but I still think about him a lot! If I dwell too much on it I can get sad pretty quickly.

right now I'm going through break up and now I've gone no contact. My body feel broken, can't control my thoughts. Things are going down. My body is shaking... my brain is scrambling... Feeling like your going crazy

I had a nasty breakup back in 2019, and it took me almost until the end of 2021 to get over, my body was going through some drastic changes, heart arrhythmias(those started after taking high blood pressure medicine) not sure if it was stress or the medicine, but it affected my body so bad, I haven't felt like myself, even to this day, I'm not 100% myself

I feel like the toxic breakups (i.e., w/ Narcissists) can be even worse. When I broke up w/ my (toxic) ex I gained 60 lbs. For several reasons, that's not okay. Been on a journey for the last year to reverse the mental and physical affects of that breakup. Agree, it's amazing the toll a breakup can take on your body. You literally can look how you feel inside, but on the outside. Take care of yourselves folks!!

During a breakup, I didn't eat for 30 days. I had no appetite and attempting to eat made me sick.

[pj]

Great video, and so very true!!! I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, couldn't concentrate, lost interest in activities that I loved, totally lost my appetite, and lost 20+ pounds. Constantly thinking about her and going over the relationship looking for answers. Blaming myself even so I was blindsided without any true explanation of why she walked away, knowing I treated her so very well. I also cried a lot, and felt like I had a huge hole inside of me, felt empty. Binged on break up videos to help me stay strong, go into no contact radio silence, and to relieve some of the pain I was experiencing. It's 9 months since my breakup, and I'm in a much better place now. I managed to maintain my weight loss which is a good thing. I know longer care if I hear from her again. I hardly think about her now. I'm still in no contact radio silence and will never contact her again. I'm beginning to go out to meet other women the odd time. If I ever hear from my ex again I may talk with her, but will cross that bridge if I was to get there. I love all your amazing videos!!! Thank you!!!

I am.supposed to get married next month but we broke up 3mos ago and I am now going back in a depressive state. Help me God.

[jassonkhoo]

Bursting a tear quickly in the most inappropriate time was my problem, it stopped after a month and a massive vertigo headache came by not long after

[tony_gordon]

Thanks coach craig kenneth for your advice... No contact works like magic she came back after 5 months😂😂🔥🔥 guys be patient and trust the process dont underestimate no contact

[mattykay]

It sure does
I suffered with cold sores when I was struggling

[todd]

I couldn’t eat or sleep. I’m 6’0 and I was 231 lbs but not fat at all. She left me for someone else and I went down to 178 lbs in 3 months. I was dying inside. It’s been 8 months since she left me

[kyletruong]

During my breakup it was sleep and anxiety. I ate fine and went to the gym often to help with my anxiety. The lack of sleep though took a toll and I did lose 10lbs. Overall I thought it was great because now my physique is much better. Lost that dad bod. Mentally, I’m a lot sharper and healthier. Acceptance is hard to get to but when you get there your mental and health is much better.

I have been married for 6 years and me and my husband were with each other every single day I got use to being with him and it’s now been 1 month since I kicked him out. I found out he had cheated on me back in Dec. he hooked up with this girl 2 different times and each time he literally went to her house in my car and did what he did then left right after the girl he cheated on me with told me well anyways he was supposed to be going to the gym or work and I was home in bed never thought he would ever do this to me. I’m devastated and well I kicked him out and I am so hurt can’t believe any of this I’m in complete shock!!! I have been watching all coach Craig’s and more videos. I have never felt this kind of heartbreak. I told my husband I hated him and said so many mean things to him like he’s gross cuz the girl really was gross looking and I have heard she was nasty from others. I do know he wore a condom with her but either way he still did what he did. I love him so much and he says he genuinely sorry he hasn’t tried getting back with me he just has told others that we are 2 different ppl and he wasn’t happy for a long time. My husband is a serial cheater he has cheated in every single relationship he has ever had. The whole 6 years of our marriage I have caught him talking to so many girls sexually on every type of social media platforms. He has always said he would change after I’d catch him but here we are… tbh I never thought he’d actually meet up with a girl tho. My husbands brother is like this with his wife and his dad is like this so I know my husband has a sickness and needs help. My husband says he’s going to get help and he’s told me when the times we have talked he is genuinely sorry and he’s going to see a therapist. Every time we talk we fight I say mean things to him and he thinks I’ll always think of him so low but what does he expect honestly. It’s been so hard without him this month but we haven’t had no contact completely yet. I’m his longest relationship and the only girl he’s ever married. I wonder if he even misses me or even truly cares. I don’t know what to do anymore. I know I can’t go on like this but I’m just so heartbroken and can’t believe he actually did this to me … I wonder if he ever truly even loves me or loved me. I couldn’t ever do this to someone I love but his mom says he has a sickness and to me it’s no excuse.

[mariarincon]

Omg yes, I’ve lost weight and the stomach aches, etc…

Breakup got me very athletic body, i had to find something to release all the feelings and pain i had after the breakup and i started lifting weights 5 days a week and now 1.5 years later i have like 20 pounds more muscle. I got so much motivation from the breakup and i had to get my confidence back and oh boy i got it and lot more. I completely changed myself. If my ex would see me he would propably think what the hell 😅
