I’m’m talking about when you’ve just broken up with someone, when you’re mourning the death of a loved one, when you realize your life isn’t what it’s supposed to be. Or when you long for someone, but can’t be with them. Your heart physically aches. Why is that?
In: Biology
Because our whole body is a very interconnected system.
I know we generally talk about the brain and the rest of the body being “seperate” things, but in reality just as for example not eating can make you cranky, so can emotional pain make your heart literally ache. Same reason you can literally feel the butterflies in your stomach when you’re in love. Our nervous system connects it all, and so just about everything has effects in several directions.
