Is this normal after a breakup?

[Leluu]

It's been long since I was here. I just broke up with my boyfriend and as usual it's taking a toll on my mental health, throughout the past week the only thing I did was wake up and think about him, I'm not interested in doing things I used to love doing before, I don't even want to go to work anymore. The first time I saw him after the breakup, my palms became sweaty, my heart was beating faster, my tummy felt funny and I felt dizzy. I don't know is this normal?

Hi Leluu, this is completely normal what you are experiencing. Your body is heavily in tune with your emotions. Your sympathetic nervous system kicks in (fight or flight) because you recognize someone that brings you mental pain and your body is trying to prepare you. It will go away eventually when you learn to mentally overcome what emotions you have towards your ex. But for now, the best thing to do is let yourself mourn and feel those emotions. Don't let those emotions take over but let them talk and acknowledge them and learn to let them go. And with work, I encourage going after taking a day off. -best if wishes, RunningWind

I agree totally with running wind, and remember why you broke up.
