Chemical reaction to relationship break up?

[Les Biehn]

What is it that makes the knot in your chest and the panic in your head when you break up with someone you like. Just curious like and thought one of the brain boxes on here might know.

I always thought it had something to do with adrenalin.

I suppose that is the panic part but what about the constant nagging in your chest that never lets you forget your life has gone to shit....Sorry went off on one a bit there. Question still stands.

I think it also has to do with paranoia and jealousy , dont worry mr biehn it hurts at the moment but it will gradually pass

I've just seperated from my wife (14 years together & 3kids) it feels terible

No idea what causes it, but I would say the best way to get rid of it is to get pissfaced and f*** a bird you hardly know.

If that doesn't work, do it again and again until it does, and it will.

Shit that puts mine into perspective. 3 months but I did like her for nearly 2 before that.

going through it to at the mo , girlfriend of 3 years left me and already with a younger model , i feel like shit every day at the mo,when nothing occupies your mind you just sit and think what she is getting up to, total paranoia and i hate every f***ing minute of it

 

[Les Biehn]

I'm in that 'I really don't to f*** another bird' stage.

 

[Scotty Mac]

its interesting - one of those feelings that only comes around every now and again

i find the best way to counter it is get down the local, and drink as much double rum and coke as possible

is there such a stage?

whenever i am given the elbow i just like to get out there and get some random action. it is sort of cleansing. however, if you are the one who has done the dumping, then i always find it best to leave itr a couple of weeks, just out of respect like

Its f***ing horrible init. I keep torturing myself by going on her myspace. She has a new pic up of her with a mate's (male) arm around her. Everytime I look at it I go into brain f*** mode. And not for any good reason, they are just out on the piss with a load of other mates and his girlfriend is there.

i tried to pull a girl on friday, sat down and talked to her , she seemed keen but all i could think about was the ex , it must have shown cause she got up and told me to"sort your f***ing life out" then walked , might be the fact she was all i talked about

 

[pishhead]

Anyone who says drink is not the answer is clearly a tee total ****. Drink is the answer it is also the question.

Sounds like you need to MAN THE f*** UP.

Don't look at it then. Seriously. Move on, although it is hard.

Panic is always ready to transform from pupa to buggerfly flapping for as long as it wishes.
It's all based on our neanderthal programming. Moments of dread are bathed in thunder. Fight or flight in response, innit. Something you are unable to control grows teeth and an unwatchable pace. So it flaps and whispers, like one perfectly-shaved PE teacher as you damply wipe a sweaty class away, until you can concentrate on something else and remember to forget.
