A love's brain functions like cocaine. We feel the symptoms of euphoric intoxication, we have obsessive thoughts and distorted vision of the world. And what happens when love ends?

And these are all typical symptoms of addiction! Harmless if we love back. But when a loved one abandons us? Happyendorphinsgive way to cortisol - the stress hormone.dopamineandserotoninlevels in the brain drop rapidly. The abandoned person develops symptoms of drug craving: depression, insomnia, loss of appetite, irritability and bouts of crying. Life makes no sense. In addition, cortisol blocks the production of antibodies and opens the way for viruses. This is why approx. 70 percent. abandoned people begin to fall ill (they develop infections, suffer from gastric disorders, complain of palpitations). How to find yourself after something like this? Above all, allow yourself to be sad! It takes time to experience regret. Experience shows, however, that the sooner you return to normal life, the better.

You must do it

To help myself:

  • Force yourself to be active, e.g. go to the cinema, see friends, sign up for a course.
  • Start exercising regularly.
  • exercise increases dopamine and serotonin levels.
  • Instead of repeating "how unhappy I am", look for a more cheerful maxim and … look brightly into the future!
