writes:Dear Cupid--I've recently been broken up with. The world doesn't feel right anymore. I can feel my heart swelling in my chest and find myself physically ill. Driving home was almost impossible. I had to pull over to the side of the road to sob and throw up. Should I be feeling this hurt? I've never in my life felt pain as bad as this feels. I feel like I could literally die from the pain. Or more so, I feel like it would have hurt less if I was just beat to a pulp. I don't think anything could actually numb this sort of excruciating pain. Please cupid(s), help me.

 Yes, finding someone who you can confide in is so important. When I broke up with my only real long time girlfriend of the past, I acted and felt just like you, including throwing up and horrid pain and hurt in the chest. You have emotions that are working as they do for a lot of us, this is somewhat normal. Seek out those in your life that love you and will talk to you, and keep it in your mind, even though it seems impossible, that things will get better for you. It took me about 2 years, but I more or less "got over" these feelings you describe. Much hope to you - Kama

 For real, you need a girlfriend! A sister! A Mom! A cousin!
It's completely normal to feel totally broken down and devastated. I think we've all experienced that before. But, it's super hard to go through it alone (let alone, drive a car! Driving post-break-up should be illegal!). I think you need some love, support and distraction that only friends/family can provide, so give someone a call!! Anyone that you think will lend you a shoulder to cry on and a smile.
Good luck, sweetness! As the saying goes: This too, shall pass.

 Sweety you need to go to a friend, we can only give you so much advice and comfort but it sounds as if you need a good hug and a bit of tlc from friends and family.
You need to be taken care of and be held when you feel sick and cry xx
