The Heartbreak

-
Heartbreak is a metaphor for intense emotional stress or pain one feels due to a great loss or deep longing. Unfortunately it is a common part of the human experience, and it really, really sucks. We've all been there at one point or the other in our lives and it's easier to say that we wish never to experience again.
When a heartbreak gets extreme, it tends to create a sustained kind of stress which amounts to trauma that can be severe enough to leave an emotional imprint on an individual's psychophysical functioning and didactic enough to make them learn, grow stronger and move on. Though it will no doubt take a lot of time. 

It is no fact to argue that there's obviously still a whole lot to discover about how and why we experience love and then comes heartbreak and most of the reasons researched for these are due to issues like; frequent arguments, poor communication, distance, infidelity, etc. But science has blessed us with some clues about why heartbreak makes us feel the way it does and possible ways to work on it.

HURTING?
Love, just like drugs can be so addictive because of the hormones our brain releases when we get really attached to someone or something. This hormones are released at elevated levels when we're in love and when heartbreak comes, sadly they drop and are replaced by stress hormones - Cortisol. Hence excess supply of this hormone to the body over a period of time brings forth all those mental and physical symptoms associated with heartbreak.
Studies show that your brain registers emotional pains of heartbreak in the same way as physical pains. This is why sometimes we feel like a heartbreak is causing physical pains too.

HEAL
To tell you the truth, healing is messy. There will be good and bad days. When you're heartbroken, it can be easy to withdraw from your regular life and stop doing the things you enjoy but it will also be surprising to realize that getting out of bed or that sad chair or spot and working on your day, spending time with friends (positive and supportive), eating well and exercising can also help boost your mood and distract you from your issues.

Through it all, just don't rush. It's normal to feel, to break down, to hurt and to smile, to take all the time that you need to move on... Always remember that you are human and gradually you will be fine.

Not really in the mood for the whole writing stuff today, just going to tell a story. A story that made me see something that millions haven't yet seen. On this very day, as My mum and I walked through the market there was this young girl by the roadside selling fish and there was another very elderly woman, from her statue and feebleness I could guess she was in her 80s or so. This elderly woman was pleading the girl, I mean seriously begging her and the so called girl didn't even pay attention to the poor woman. The sight of that made me stop to watch what was really happening. What struck me most was when the girl turned and immediately barked at the woman then threw the fish she was holding on the ground and walked out. I was so weak, tears began dropping down my eyes. I looked at the girl standing far away murmuring angrily and I turned back to this poor elderly woman over here who could barely stand on her feet not to talk of walking, still begging this girl. ...

"I'm sorry Sir but that was the instruction from the boss"                     **** "But .. Hello, hello oo?" Charles had ended the call.  Charles was the supervisor of a government work that was assigned to Mr. Alex and his team but right now, for some unknown reason the contract had been shifted to another company after many years of trust and services. This wasn't good at all. Just two weeks ago Alex had lost his containers of constructing materials being shipped in from Germany. He sensed trouble but refused to say it out. If there was anything he valued more was the peace of God family and didn't want anything otherwise. But despite the efforts to hide it, Alex wasn't comfortable. Pacing around the room at night, lost in thoughts during a conversation even mispronunciation of words were now the modus operandi. His second wife noticed this and cared.  " My dear, what is happening with you and don't tell me nothi...

A Snatched Pride

All through the passage of time, women have always been viewed as the weaker vessel. Gender-based violence including rape and other sexual assualts have assumed a critical dimension on us as women globally. So perculiar is this culture of sexual violence against women that it is gradually woven into the very fabrics of our existence. Spreading like a wild fire into all spheres of life like, the home, school, workplace, hospital, and so unfortunately it doesn't exclude the church- the very place to which we run to seek refuge.  The progress of a country can be drastically hindered by this endemic case backed by the religious and cultural sentiments of male dominance and supremacy. How sad it is that woman grows to live with the high possibility of rape, being reminded at every point in time that as a woman any man who is physically strong enough can decide to demonstrate his authority by way of sexual violence. In the church she is taught to bow h...
