So I saw this article and it really opened my eyes about how serious these relationships are. The article is talking about how a broken heart can kill you. It's essentially the same thing as a heart attack, but the cause isn't from clogged arteries; it is caused by extreme stress from emotional trauma. During "Broken Heart Syndrome" the heart balloons like a round ball. It was originally known as takosubo cardiomyopathy. It was labled that by the Japanese because they said that the heart looked like the device they used to catch octopi with know as a takosubo, or an "octopus pot."
I don't have much relationship advice this time... I don't imagine this happens often in young people but the fact that it CAN happen is scary enough. Be careful with your heart, both literally and figuratively. If you want some more detailed info on what's happening when you have this type of "attack" click here.
