Is it just me or is it normal to feel sick in your stomach, pain in your body whenever you go through a tough breakup? It's now day 3 and I still feel like I'm never going to make it to the big 60 or even the monumental 30 day rule. For the last 6 months the most we have gone without talking is a week and a half and we eneded back together. I'm so hurt right now that I don't know how I'm ever going to get thru this. I cried myself to sleep last nite and just kept thinking of him.....

it is completely normal. i could not eat anything for over a week, and even after that i couldn't eat anything except bland, flavorless foods. anything else i would throw up. i was constantly feeling sick, getting sick, felt dizzy from lack of food and lost 10 pounds in about 10 days. i couldn't eat, sleep, concentrate or function at all, i was a complete mess. i wasn't completely back to normal until after about a month, and i went to the doctor because i could not hold anything down. basically she said it was normal, your body reacts in a violent way to traumatic incidents in your life. now, i would say that if this continues beyond about a week or two, go to the doctor and see if there is something they can do to help calm your nerves.

hang in there, it will get better i PROMISE. i've been where you are and i know how difficult it is. i am at a much better place now, i wouldn't say i'm "happy" but i'm able to go on with my life a little better, concentrate more and laugh, which i could not say 2 months ago. luckily you found this board a lot sooner than i did!

TOTALLY NORMAL. I didn't eat for about a month and a half, and now its been 3.5 months. I still haven't returned to my "normal" eating habits (which has turned out to be a blessing in disguise; yay for some weight loss). BUT, the constant nausea is gone now....been gone for awhile. The first month or two is the hardest. Try to think good, positive thoughts!! It will get better, it will get better, it will get better!

I know exactly how you feel and have been experiencing the same thing since my boyfriend of 6 years and I broke up last Tuesday. I wish you luck, it seems impossible.
