Have You Had A Broken Heart To The Point Where You Got Sick?

Yes, when I found my first love had cheated on me, I was so sick I lost 14kg in 2 days and by the end of the week I'd lost 20kg, I thought I was going to die. My best mate came and saved me. I'll never forget it.

Funny, I just did that today. I have had a harsh couple of weeks...my uncle died, my kitten died of heart disease, my car died, and I just found out that my parents both have skin cancer, and that their dog (that i grew up with) has cancer and needs to be put down soon.\n\nAt this point, I've given up trying. I'm all cried out.

I have had it happen to me a couple of times.\n\nThe most memorable was when I was 17, staying home alone from work with a flu and really bad fever. I knew I was in trouble, and got up from the couch to go to the bathroom to get a wet washcloth to cool my forehead, and the Tylenol to take. Halfway there, I looked down, and thought, "well, I'm going to have trouble getting this stuff if I don't have real hands." I then realized I couldn't see my hands or feet, turned around, and still saw myself lying on the couch while I was standing in the middle of the living room. I knew at that point that I had a choice. I looked out the door, and back at my body. I thought about my situation, and enjoyed looking around, guiding my floating a bit through thought, and having rather deep thoughts about how fun death seemed. But then I thought "What about Mom? I can't do this to my family....and there's other stuff for me to do first." After a few seconds, I decided to go back, even though being out-of-body certainly seemed fun. I just wasn't ready not to be alive. As soon as I made the decision, I took a few steps toward my body, and then "snapped" back and was inside. I was not breathing and my heart wasn't beating, and it was the most awful feeling I've ever experienced. I sent a powerful thought to my heart "Beat, d--- you!!!" and after a couple more seconds it finally went "lub..... dub....lub..dub...lubdub...." The second most awful thing was that my chest wasn't reflexively breathing by then...I then had to force that first breath. Anoxia is agonizing. The muscles didn't want to move at first, and then finally they did, and the air seared my lungs. After thrashing around for a bit until the pain reduced, I got up WITH my body and got the Tylenol and the wet washcloth. I took my temperature.... 104! I took three Tylenol instead of two, and forced myself into a cool water bath..brrrrrr.\n\nI've had other OBE's, but that one is the easiest to describe, and the only one during serious illness (which is more easy for those who have not experienced one to relate to). I found that it generally takes serious stress to the body for it to happen for me (anaphylaxic allergic reactions to various medications or ant stings, long-term severe anxiety due to life crises, etc.), and I don't seek out the experience...it is too dangerous as I still want to live (I'm a mom, teacher, and just have too much going on to leave it now). \n\nOn the other hand, having this and the other OBE's has resulted in my NOT fearing death. I hate and am terrified of pain... but death? I don't WANT to die...but I also am not afraid of it. Just like I don't want to spend so much on gas...but I'm not afraid of the gas pump...lol!\n\nIt also has brought me into a deeper relationship with G-d. I have no question that G-d exists (things that happened in other OBE's that I can't describe here...too personal), and I feel nothing but love and awe for the Creator. I am Jewish, but I also am fully aware of all our different faiths as just different ways for us to "look" at the same thing given our physical and mental limitations. I enjoy the philosophy, particular view of G-d, and rituals of Judaism, not to mention that it is my family's heritage. However, the religion itself is not important except to building your spiritual comfort, sense of community in G-d, and a framework for personal reflection...the relationships between your heart and G-d, and your deeds and your fellow humans, are what are important when everything is said and done.

I had attacks for years that I thought were gas.  Finally, I had a really bad attack.  I had severe pain on the right side of my chest, abdomen and back.  I felt like I had to breathe very shallow because any movement was excruciating.  I had terrible heartburn and vomited bile.

My husband.  He's still here, but he's unavailable.  He got sick and is depressed.  Nothing seems to help.\n\nHow do you grieve someone who sits across the table from you?\n\n(Thanks for answering my question.  When I read your question and answered it, I knew I needed to ask mine.)

i've spent years pushing myself to exercise when i'm sick and then i just end up feeling worse for longer. take it easy and don't feel too guilty- you'll get back to your routine soon enough. take advantage of the time you have to let your body rest.

Unfortunately, yes. But I am also quick to fall out of love. In the past, when I decided it was over, I cut all ties with the stony coldness of a surgeon removing a tumor. Kinda scary, it's almost like I become another person and am looking at myself from outside screaming "How can you be so COLD??!!??"

No one here can help you truly heal. \nReading your question brings me back about a year ago when my relationship ended after about 4years together. I really thought that i was going to die. And all my friends kept on telling me that time would heal my heart and while i am waiting the time away i needed to just surround my self with friends and family and keep my self busy. All good and well and so i did and the time did heal me a bit i stop crying every night and i was able to get back into the swing of things however every now and again i am taken back to that time and i face that same pounding in my chest and that feeling of heaviness on my heart Anything can trigger it but i find that a song or a smell and of course the Holidays.. This will be the second thanksgiving apart now i am in a new relationship but i will never forget that one love of a lifetime.\nI wish you well and know that you are not alone in your hurting.. \nAnd one more time Only time can heal your broken heart.

I used to have it a lot.  I washed my hands ALL the time and took like 3 or 4 baths a day.  Couldn't eat anything that I didn't feel was clean enough, ended up crying all the time because I thought I was going to die of some weird sickness...had it for a long time but never took any medication for it.  Eventually it went away on its own.

Medically speaking, there is a such thing as a broken heart. The symptoms come right after a tramatic experience or a death of a loved one.\n\nBut as for a broken heart from a boyfriend or girlfriend, it is not true that you can only heal a broken heart with another broken heart. The only way to heal that ache in your heart is to stop dwelling soo much on him or her and move on with your life. You will find that special person when you least expect it.\nThose 2 guys that you were dating were not the ones for you. Don't give up. The man of your dreams is closer than you can imagine. Just be patient and he will come.\nBelieve me I know..

My daughter did.She forced me to go to the hospital after I had been sick for 3 days.I later found out my appendix had burst and I almost didn't survive.If she hadn't made me go I wouldn't be here now.
