segor56 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 SO, it started with a neck ache... slowly it got worse as the uncertainty of my relationship became more apparent to my body, (not my mind and heart). Then it went to a dull stomach ache. It moved on to a rapid heart beat I (embarrassed to admit) thought was because I cared so much for him. Finally, I was sooo stressed my doctor thinks my stress induced 'Hives' on my skin. (Gross I know.. ick)... but, W T H*ll. Love isn't blind, ridiculous thinking that you can 'make' love work is blinding. Anyone have stories?? Link to comment
Litgirl01 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I puked one day when I found out he lied AGAIN!!! When I would confront him I felt like I was talking to a teenage boy! His eyes would get big...OMG...I think I'm going to puke now!!!! Link to comment
browneyedgirl36 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Oh yeah -- totally normal. I had a headache for weeks -- mostly from crying. Also nausea (to the point I almost threw up a few times) and I felt very tired for awhile, even after sleeping. I got REALLY sick recently (partly because my immune system is so weak after all this crap!) and I broke out in a scary rash too. I'm happy to report I'm fine now. And you will be too. Hang in there!

jettison Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I cheated on my long time GF. I didn't sleep with the woman, but we flirted for a month and then went to a bar after work and made out, and then went back to her place and made out some more. I said "I can't" when it came to sleeping with her as if everything else I had already done didn't count as cheating. The next day my new mistress got pink eye. A month later, she moved departments.

lilypadgirl Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Yeah I got so depressed that it weakened my immune system. Had bronchitis twice within three months when I normally get one cold a year. Link to comment
jettison Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 After my ex-GF started dating a married man, she developed a severe muscle problem. It was so debilitating that she often couldn't walk, and her blood levels went all out of whack. Then, when we started dating all of her symptoms were gone, and she was healthier then she had ever been. Then, when she got jealous and suspicious of me, her symptoms returned and she could no longer function again. Link to comment
NorthDallas40 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I NEVER had problems sleeping, but once my ex dumped me, I could hardly sleep a wink... then all I could think about all day was going back to sleep and being unconscious so I wouldn't have to think about her. Losing my appetite, having my stomach churning in nervousness every night, and losing 15 lbs. in a month didn't help either. Though I'm actually glad I lost the 15 lbs! Link to comment
segor56 Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 why do we do this to ourselves?????????????????????????????????????????? Link to comment
Litgirl01 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I haven't been sleep well since he has tried to make contact. I guess he has given up after a couple of tries. Link to comment
kuiks8 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Here's another thing to add to the list of woes in my marriage...I have had really bad chronic headaches, the only time they were somewhat manageable to almost gone was in the time period where i was so focused on leaving and beginning again in Vancouver. Now that I am trying hard with my husband I am having daily chronic headaches again...soo frustrating! Link to comment
barbielovesmac Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Everytime I found out about one of my ex-boyfriends lies I would get sick to my stomach. I would get all hot and flustered and my entire body would go numb. In this breakup I have lost at least 5 pounds ... the stress of this all made it hard to eat. I had no appetite and when I would eat ... I couldn't. I would litterly have to spit out my bite. Link to comment
segor56 Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 my doc gave me prednisone for the latest 'relationship illness' and it MAKES you hungry. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreaaaaaaaaaaaaat. I have lost 13 pounds to date from stress, which was awesome in a psychotic way.. ermhmmm... anyway.. I can't STOP eating now, which... again... pi*ses me off. Soon I won't have anything more pissy'ness left in me, which will be awesome. (I'll let you all know when the party is.) Link to comment

flyingdodo Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I've been sick 4 times in the last 2 months because I've got so worked up about everything. The first 4 days after we split up I only ate a piece of toast in the morning because my mum made me. I'm eating more now but I still don't feel I have much of an appetite. I didn't sleep at all the first night but I am sleeping a bit better now. I get headaches most days, have zero energy and wake up every morning feeling jittery and shaky as if I have an exam that day or something. On a positive note I've lost weight and feel much better for it! Link to comment
flyingdodo Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I had sleeping problems and headaches before we split up though and I'm sure that was just due to me struggling to understand how she was feeling about her problems. I think once I'm over her (however long that will take) I'll actually feel better than I did when we were together. Link to comment
