PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF A BROKEN HEART


Lucky for you if your first partner was your last, but I know that almost everyone have already experienced the "pain" of being heart broken. Yes the pain, and this article is all about it.

I am really wondering why it hurts so much when a special person abandons you. The sensation felt is something different from the physical one. The experience crushes your heart literally. It is often precipitated on situations when we are already alone since it stimulates us to remember the moments that was shared and automatically tears will shed out.

Maybe it hurts so much because of the betrayal, but for me that is not the essence that inflicts pain the most. What really hurts us are the shattered dreams, plans, and hopes that was built together. Love is like cocaine which makes us high and gives us delusions of having a wonderful future with the special person, thus thrusting our expectations about the relationship to the next level. And on the faithful break-up day those expectations nose dives and along with it are us.
