After a breakup comes heartbreak. This can have multiple consequences. On our mental well-being, of course, but also physical…
A breakup always causes painful feelings. Usually it feels like alone with his pain and we imagine that no one can understand it… as if we were the first person on Earth to do so the bitter experience. In 2022, we echoed a study published in the columns of the academic journal The Journal of Positive Psychology. Researchers had estimated that, in general, it was necessary to wait until eleven weeks passed (or two and a half months) to begin to get better.
Whether the end of a love story is desired or suffered, it is rare to come out of it completely unscathed. As one can easily imagine, its effects on our mental well-being are many. But our mind is not the only one concerned. Wednesday, August 30, the magazine Psychologies identified the consequences than grief might have on our body.

Also, still according to Courtney Nesbitt, when such an emotion arises, it is not rare that it is at the origin of a “physical reaction”. It is a particularly unpleasant sensation that many people have already experienced: that of having something that weighs permanently at the bottom of his heart.
In the same article, Psychologies recalled that a breakup might also be the cause of headache (caused by stress and ruminations), sleep disorders (especially when the mind is invaded by sadness), skin problems or related to weight loss (or gain).
Even more surprising, it is common to get sick following a breakup. Near the site The Healthythe psychologist Jenev Caddell had given some snippets of explanations on this subject: “Stress hormones are released, which […] may lead to decreased immune function.”
