Can heartbreak kill????

yeah heartbreak affects me badly as a matter of fact until now heartbreak is the reason why im sad to think that it has been years since its happened but i dont know to get over it... i tried to made myself busy but it doesnt work maybe because until now i still love the guy but despite the fact im praying for his happiness.it doesnt matter how much he hurts me what i want is his happiness though i know it affects me so much....

it happens on me lol i tried to hurt myself because of something really bad that happened to me. for me it was very tragic and all i can think that moment is to end my life so that i don't suffer that kind of thing anymore. the things that i did to mend my broken heart was to talk and hang out with my friends and watch some funny movies. gladly, we were back together

Its interesting that you ask "Have you been in love and hurt yourself" rather than "Have you been in love and gotten hurt. Were you asking that directly of me lol? Yes I believe that I have been in love and HURT MYSELF, because I have to say that I knew what was going on and continued in the relationship despite that. Although I did go through a lot when we broke up, I have to say that the reaction to a broken heart depends on the mental stability of the person, and the deepness of the attachment to the ex-mate. The only think that mends a broken heart is time. How much time is different for each person, each situation. The mending comes when the person realizes that its not over because this person left. When the person regains confidence in themselves.

This is not as uncommon as people thing nor is it trite or corny. We are all subject to our emotions and too much emotional heartache or heartbreak can affect the way that we live and influence our physical processes to such an extent that other organs are compromised. The good thing is that life is not so two-dimensional and there are literally millions of people who can substitute for a lost loved one and one can awaken or recover from a heartbreak by meeting another.

That is quite possible! Heart breaks nullifies out emotional bank account. No wonder we are left devastated and shattered. Personally, I did not have the experience myself. But have some friends who have gone through it. It feels terrible and lost.

i believe that break ups and heartbreaks can kill you especially if you are attached bc i was in a 3 and a half year relationship and when we broke up to me feel like the end of the world like I don't want to live on don't want to go out find someone new because even knows that she thinks it's over I don't want it to be over and i wont give up she is my life

I have not been in such a situation where I felt that someone broke my heart....so it is difficult to imagine, how does it effect a man. What about you? Did you find yourself ever in such a situation?

yah, i can say that hearbreak can kill a person..there are lots of broken hearted who got depression who end up their life..it's a sad thing because most who did this are men..maybe, it's because they are not really used to verbalized what they really feel, unlike with women, we do cry, shout, open up our feelings to our parents or closed friends and that's really help to ease the pain..so, the best way is to verbalize feelings, go to a friend that you can talk about your heart aches, dont let your depression kill you..

Well,it depends on you handle it.Yes I've had my heart badly broken and I almost lost my mind.How did I cure it?Well,I just spent more time with my friends and people who deserve my time than those who broke my heart.

Yes I have had heartbreak so bad that I didn't think there was anything else that I could do and went into a depression. I was just about to get married when I got a dear John letter that he decided he wasn't ready...two weeks before the wedding. What did I do to overcome it? Moved away and started a new life once I got myself together. I can see how some people never get over someone they love. It's a very hard thing to do when you give someone your heart and they hand it back to you!

I can believe it but I dont understand how men can be 6 times more affected than women. I've seen enough men and women go crazy over losing their boyfriend/girlfriend but I dont think Men are far more likely to kill themselves than women though.

If it kills, it's not love but dependency. I do not deny the fact the fact that heartbreak hurts but a person who really loves should be able to stand up again and carry on. Because love is also a lesson. Well, if it really does kill, I guess I will have to add it to my "how to die" list. :D
