Taking a breakup so hard....

Has it ever happened to you that you’ve gone through a real nasty breakup… so bad that you sort of lose your appetite?

And for some reason… food makes you emotional? Like everytime you put a morsel of food in your mouth you end up crying???

How long does this thing usually last?? Its been three weeks already and i can barely eat anything. I tried for a few days forcing myself here and there but it just makes me throw up

Re: Taking a breakup so hard....

You're depressed and I think you need to maybe talk to someone to help you work through what you're going through.

Re: Taking a breakup so hard....

Definitely talk about it to someone. Or write a diary/blogpost and let it all out. Then go buy a cheesecake and dig in!

Re: Taking a breakup so hard....

please share you stress with your close family member, they may help you to make your life normal. spend your time with your friend, watch movies, involve in community work. take the advantage of this bless month and ask Allah to make your heart peaceful.

Re: Taking a breakup so hard....

I'm trying to overcome it with sheer will and mindpower.... can't really talk to many about it in my real life... the circumstances and details are way too complicated and explicit.... bordering on disturbing... I don't want to unload this mess on my near and dear ones.

Cupcake- Just reading about the cheesecake makes my stomach turn, and it used to be my favorite dessert :(

Re: Taking a breakup so hard…

Do you have anyone you can talk to about your breakup? My bff recently went through a breakup and was reacting the same way you are describing - not eating at all and ended up losing a lot of weight. She would kinda sorta talk about it but she only started feeling better when I made her completely unload everything she went through and was feeling. Also, give yourself time. You can’t force yourself to just get over it. Realise that it is going to take time and be patient. :hugz:

Aww definitely talk about it to someone!!

Re: Taking a breakup so hard....

Every cloud has a silver lining.... I lost 11 lbs from this heartbreak induced starvation :D

Feeling a little better day....time heals all wounds.... hoping its sooner rather than later... tired of being so upset.

If talking to someone is not an option, try involving yourself in activities to keep your mind occupied. Force yourself to go out where you get to interact with people lot more. Take creative classes such as cake making, photography or join fun exercise programs. Something you enjoy. Time does heal but you will have to keep yourself busy.

You’re fighting depression. It’s part of the healing process. Nothing wrong with it.
I would recommend talking with a counselor or therapist.

Hope you feel better soon :hugz:

Re: Taking a breakup so hard....

Each day will get better and better.

When you go to bed at night, tell yourself (even if you have to say it outloud to yourself) that tomorrow IS a new day. The sun will rise again in the morning.

You will be ok.

Re: Taking a breakup so hard....

Aww!!!!!!! I really feel for you - but this does sound a bit extreem - if he rejected your love, genuinity and intentions - then is he really that much of a guy to allow yourself to go through this. Remember - your here for Allah - this is your task - not to mope over some loser guy.

Inshallah your heart will be healed quickly and you will find a spouse who is more deserving of you.

Just try and go through the healing process as best as you can - hear ache DOES NOT last forever - I know
