How to break up without breaking down

Somewhere, buried beneath the screwed-up tissues and Tori Amos CDs, there's a reason why breaking up is so f***ing hard to do. A study by The American Journal of Cardiology observed 70 patients with "broken heart syndrome" (otherwise known as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy) and found their symptoms mimicked those of a heart attack - shortness of breath, chest pain and a huge surge of stress hormones. They also found that the patients recovered, most after being given aspirin or heart drugs, if treated quickly...

After 24 hours
Physically Wham. Whether you're the dumper or the dumpee, you've found yourself in a single room in Heartbreak Hotel. It's pretty sparse and there are no familiar pictures on the walls. You might feel sad, relieved, panicky, numb, liberated or slightly sick. Or all of the above. The connection between emotional and physical pain is very real - when a person experiences loss, changes in the brain's blood flow occur and the anterior cingulate cortex (responsible for regulating physical pain and distress) becomes more active. Depression may kick in, especially if you didn't want out: in a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, researchers found that of 114 subjects who'd been romantically rejected in the eight weeks leading up to the study, 40 per cent remained clinically depressed and 12 per cent remained moderately to severely depressed.

Emotionally "This can't be real, we'll get back together" is on repeat in your head while you're in the first stage of grief - denial. As you shakily emerge from a full-on I-thought-he-was-the-one/who-gets-custody-of-the-dog?/what-about-our-joint-mortgage? situation, experts say your body and brain are in a state almost similar to mental illness. "In the very first days you're simply responding to trauma," says counsellor Karen Masman, author of The Uses of Sadness. "Be practical and just get through each hour - this is not the time to reflect on the meaning of your break-up and what the lessons are." Ride the emotional tsunami and, yes, rent Marley & Me. University of South Florida researchers found that 88.8 per cent of people feel better after crying out emotional tears (as opposed to onion-chopping ones) because they release the stress hormone prolactin from the body.

In my humble opinion there is NO cure for a broken heart..
One just has to put up with it until Time Does Its Thing..

Well who would have thunk that two aspirin with a glass of water, lots of tears, ranting and raving like a loon, listening to sad songs and stalking the heart-breaker would be the cure to rapid recovery?

Yet here it is...
Clinical research shows...


Oh and what I have observed is that 'guilt' is the cause of real heart-attacks (physical) in males who cheat or are heartbroken from being cheated on... bion...

Reckon that is a nice little research project for someone...


If you want substantiating evidence email me for details of cases.

What 'rapid cures' do readers have for mending a broken heart?

I've had lots of guys assuring me that lots of random *** is the best of the lot and of course have offered themselves to 'play doctor'...

So what do you think is a really good 'quick cure'...

How do you mend a broken heart?

(how do you stop the rain from falling down
please help me mend this broken heart and let me live again... )

Hey, bubbles work well... hic...
might trying bathing in them too... hic hic...

Let's not forget the 'iceream and cookies' cure ... burp...

Does it work? Doubt

[quote=Bobbyyou]Does it work? Doubt
