Booyah171 Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 I'm nauseous, stomach cramps, no appetite, can't sleep. I feel like I am dying. Is this normal? It started after my a spat between my now-ex. She has since broken all ties with me.
ScienceGal Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 So sorry. Been there, its completely normal. It sucks, but it will get better. Do not contact her, for any reason because it will only make it worse. Give yourself time to be alone and process everything.
RodG Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Hey, yeah it's normal. Trust me, you'll get better. I was where you are. It'll take a few weeks to get past this stage. Trust me, it takes time. I thought it would never get better, even though everyone kept telling me it would just take time.

It started after my a spat between my now-ex. She has since broken all ties with me. I wish that was all I experienced after my breakup, consider yourself lucky. Yes what you have is completely normal, and you may also start feeling physical pain. I experienced severe sharp pain that would shoot through my chest (felt like my heart was stopping) that would hurt to the point of me dropping to my knees and gasping for air. Stay NC, it will make the ill feeling go away MUCH sooner.
Author Booyah171 Posted August 1, 2011 Author Posted August 1, 2011 Thanks guys. My 4 year old jumped on my stomach on Thursday and I wasn't expecting it (he weighs about 50 lbs) and it really hurt. After that my stomach didn't feel right. Then I got the breakup text the next day and the stomach pain got worse. I think I'll go see the doctor tomorrow just in case he didn't do any damage when he jumped on me.
SIGNALFREQ Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Hey, almost the exact thing happened to me, a broken heart, I thought my emotions were made of stone. Until my ex left me, and started dating another guy. It was fast and to the point. I thought I just wanted to die, but I learned in the power of prayer, and counseling. That is what helped me get better, trust us you will recover, it just takes time.

She has since broken all ties with me. Yes, completely normal. As is heart racing (especially first thing in the morning, when you wake up), lack of attention, fatigue...
Mukmuk Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 That is completely normal...and everything you see and go and do will remind you of them...all the happy times spent together and constantly ask yourself why why why why... I also lost a lot of weight because of it...
loverboy1984 Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 My symptoms were a heavy feeling in my chest. stomach aches, nausea,vomiting, lack of appetite, weight loss, really emotional, eye twitching, hair loss, lack of sleep, and I would sit in bed for hours in the morning and have a hard time getting up. Im all better after 4 months but I still wake up in the mornings and would lay there thinking for hours or pretend to sleep. your body will adjust and you will get over this withdrawal which is what your experiencing. talking to people, grieving and distracting yourself will help. Also I found eating and not being hungry helps too. Every time Im starving I feel down too.

Please try and grieve truly let it out and then set it down and move forward.
rosie72 Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Booyah, i'm going through exactly the same thing right now. It's been about 6 weeks now. I can't eat, have lost about 10llbs (yay.. no not yay its awful i wasnt fat or anything), can't sleep, keep getting panic attacks which 'jerk' me awake if i do sleep. bad dreams, repetitive thoughts - the works. This is the intense time i know. People say this will pass and we have to trust those who have been there. One thing i have found helps is meditation - check out meditation oasis http://www.meditationoasis.com/ - they have really great free guided meditations for grief, letting go, relaxtion etc. They help me in the night when i can't sleep. I've not meditated before but the approach is easy, and the girl has a soothing voice (at least i like it). Give it a whirl why not?
melenkurion Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 As everyone is saying, what you are feeling is entirely normal. I couldn't really eat for maybe a month or two, I had no appetite and I only ate to stop the dizzy spells. It felt like I would never enjoy food ever again, but eventually my appetite came back. I had terrible trouble sleeping for a month or two, as well. I'm back to normal there as well. You'll be OK, what is happening is very normal, but unfortunately it's going to take time for this to get back to normal.
radiodarcy Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 this is completely normal. during the first few months i would lie in bed - - weeping/staring at the ceiling. i rarely ate, stared into space, lost sleep. and went days without bathing or changing my clothes. it was also the dead of winter - - which didn't help my mood much either. but overtime i did start to find myself pulling out of it -- especially once the weather warmed up. i think you have to get through that phase where you just physically purge yourself of all the bad emotions that are inside you. the time will drag but there is a light at the end of the tunnel and once you get through that phase it does get easier.
