Breaking up sucks, but what sucks even more is how your body reacts to it. Emotional pain is experienced in the same way as physical pain. This is why a heart breaking can be a terrible thing.

1. Your brain hates the feeling.

2. Because it registers physical pain.

4. It also does a whole lot of other things to your body like tiredness and weight gain.

5. It also causes your body to release a lot of stress hormones.
