Dying of a broken heart?

[Fadeawaaaay]

Anyone else?

Definitely a contributing factor for me. I had a relationship of almost 4 years that just ended. I can't even be mad at her, I isolated myself and wasn't present in the moment because I was always too caught up in my head. Also I dropped out of college and have no real future. Meanwhile she has a bright future, made tons of friends, goes out multiple nights a week, and is so much happier around other people than with me. I just want to see her happy, and if being away from me helps her achieve that than I can't be mad. I was a burden holding her back, and she should be free of that. But she was the first person to ever truly care about me and it just really, really hurts.

More times than I'd like to admit.
Seems to me that I always have feelings for people that I can never have. And I can't seem to help it. It keeps messing with me over and over again. Knowing that I'd be an awful person to take someone's current happiness away... it's not something that I won't allow myself to do. Ruining someone else's relationship or marriage.

No matter if the person genuinely makes me smile or laugh in a way that I never thought I could, it hurts knowing that nothing more will ever come out of it. It's all a part of my imagination or delusion of what will never be. Ignorance is bliss.

There are people that actually did die from broken hearts after a loved one dies. It's called broken heart syndrome interestingly.

I think it has some validity because I constantly have a aching feeling in my chest when I think of certain things.

It is also the most painful. Nothing tops a broken heart. I have experienced it several times in the course of 5 years. There is ntg to live for and therefore I am back to this forum again. I thought I have better hope of recovering from void and broken heart but to be hurted again. I ruined myself physically and broke this year. I have ntg else.. I am truly tired to live for my family.
