Guess what? While nothing has physically been done to you, your brain literally is telling your body the pain is real.Īs Naomi Eisenbuerger, Ph.D., and assistant professor of psychology at the University of California at Los Angels told Women's Health Magazine, the area of your brain that lights up when you're hurt physically is the same area that lights up when you suffer “social rejection.” It can be consuming, as if your entire body were suddenly in Rigamortis. When you get viciously dumped, it can feel like someone has punched you in the stomach, knocking all the wind out of you. Your brain thinks you're physically hurt. Here are eight scientific things that happen to your body when you have a broken heart, proving it's just about the worst thing in world. You might think it's all in your head, but it's not. The thing is, a breakup is really, really f*cking bad for your health. The struggle is just so real, and the risks we take by falling in love are innumerable and terrifying. Our bodies literally repel being dumped because there's no greater pain than heartbreak. I think I can say with pretty solid confidence, most people would rather get smacked in the face with a metal pole than get their hearts broken. True Story: Breakups are a bitch, and heartbreak is a bigger bitch than f*cking karma.
You cry, you scream, you watch Netflix until you've seen every documentary your subscription has to offer and yet nothing seems to smooth your heartbreak or soothe the longing you feel. It's like a giant hole was pummeled into your chest, with no hope of repair. No amount of pain has ever felt so agonizing or concentrated. When your heart is broken, it can feel like the end of the world.
