This pain I'm feeling is going to be a reminder to not fall in love so easy and make sure the person is worth it . I don't ever want to feel this way EVER AGAIN

[Qweefyqueen]

the feeling of pain, loneliness, grief, stress, confusion is horrifying. im so scared rn

[fluffypinkglitterwingz]

I remember feeling like I was going to die of a broken heart.

i cant be her friend. i don’t wanna watch her move on, i can’t see her be hurt by someone else but at the same time i don’t want to see her happy with anybody but me

[Joy.Sparks]

I had no appetite after my hard break up I lost so much weight but now I’m better

[lenaleewalker]

The worst thing for me is the bottomless helplessness you feel, you sit there and want everything to be better but nothing helps and you know this person you cared for so much will never come back and you feel helpless against this massive pain

I don’t even think u can be friends with someone u was madly in love with🤨

[usmanshakeel]

That guy is telling the truth. This kind of pain is really painful that you sometimes wish that may that person (whom I love) may not have to suffer from this pain. He is right, people with soft hearts can die from this pain. It gets worst from the part when you simultaneously suffers from depression, anxiety, sleep deprivation and heart break. It just feels like to your mind is getting heavy, your heart is getting compressed, stomach pain, pain in eyes and you just cries constantly. You feel a kind of deadlock in your mind that you are not able to make decisions or cannot use your brain properly because of the pain. I wish, that not anyone of you suffers from heartbreak because it is very very painful 😔

This is the hardest thing I've ever had to face and I am not sure I am strong enough.

It hurts big time. My heart is pumping so fast I’m not been able to relax in a week. I ate too less. Very hard to put myself to sleep. I know time will heal all this. But time is running so slow. Feels like I’m gonna pass away. I’ve decided I’m never gonna fall in love ever again. That good times is not worth this bad pain. SORRY!!!! I’m more than happy to die alone.

I have been divorced 9 years we were married for 26 years and it is still hard for me and I still miss him and people don’t understand and I just live by my self and my cat I still love him 😢💔

[Klnkykoala]

My chest physically hurts whenever I think of her

[katherinestiletto]

I’m in this situation right now…my heart is shattered and I feel so hopeless about the future :( we were together for six years and those were the happiest years of my entire existence

[streeteleven]

I'm gonna do my best to make sure I don't fall in love ever again. It's worst than having no love at all.

I still remember that damn night when I broke up with her. Just six days had passed when I found myself alone at home. Tears started pouring down my face out of nowhere, and I couldn't even understand why or how I suddenly started crying. It lasted for about a good 15 minutes, and by the end of it, the ground beneath me was completely soaked !!!! You see, at that time, I was dealing with family problems, money problems, and the heartbreak, all at once. It was a miserable situation, to say the least.

Man, it was tough! I'm just 22 y.o, but I gotta admit, moving on from my ex was a real struggle. But hey, I'm doing much better now. I've started seeing life from a whole new perspective, and this experience has taught me a lot. Mentally, I've grown so much. Honestly, I don't even think I need that girl anymore. I'd say I'm about 80% over her, with a smiley face to go with it! 😊 Yeah, time really does play a crucial role in the healing process.

[strrynt]

I got ghosted and now he has a new gf, my stomach started to hurt immediately after I found out and now I can’t sleep😔

[icyivy]

as I'm suffering from depression for over a decade since my mother died and my family broke... heartbreak was big loss too... the last time was 2 yrs ago, I still "recover" but deep down inside, I just wanna die... I'm 30... I have no capacity for this pain...

[HelloJenni]

I'm going through this right now. i got a very high fever and can't eat. its bad

[harryh]

My advice to avoid getting severly hurt is to always keep your guard up and be prepared for the unexpected. Life is unpredictable and anything can happen at any moment. If you're a couple watching this and reading through the comments, please l0ve your significant other but in the back of your mind always keep your guard up and be prepared for the unexpected.

I had a headache for the first two weeks after my break up with my fiance.

Now my heart just breaks thinking about her so I avoid memories of her like the plague.
