Breakups Aren’t Just Grief. They’re Nervous System Withdrawals.
It’s that aching pressure in your chest that doesn’t go away.
The breath you didn’t realize you were holding.
The tightness that creeps in every time you try to focus on anything other than them.
You feel the pull to check your phone—even though your rational mind knows they won’t text.
And still, you check.
And when they don’t… that same sinking feeling rises up again, like clockwork.
You loop through memories.
That one moment they looked at you like you were the only one in the world…
Followed by the memory of the silence that came after.
One moment brings warmth. The next, it feels like your stomach drops out from under you.
You’re not just missing them.
Your body is trying to detox from them.
Breakup Pain Isn’t Just Emotional—It’s Somatic
Most advice tells you to “just let go.”
Block them. Move on. Focus on yourself.
Which, sure, is not wrong. But if you’ve been through a relationship that felt addictive—
The kind where the chemistry lit you up like a firework, but left you burned afterward—
You know the ache that follows isn’t just about missing a person.
It’s your nervous system in withdrawal.
Especially if the connection was built on cycles of:
Longing
Waiting
Chasing
Being briefly seen
Then left alone again.
That kind of rhythm imprints on your body.
So when the cycle ends, it’s not just your heart that hurts—it’s your body that doesn’t know what to do with the stillness.
We Don’t Just Miss the Person—We Miss the Pattern
We miss:
The high of being noticed.
The emotional suspense between responses.
The crash of silence that kept us hoping the next wave would feel different.
We miss the way our system lit up when they gave us crumbs of validation.
And we don’t miss that because we’re weak.
We miss it because, at some point, our nervous system learned to survive through that pattern.
Even when we know it wasn’t healthy.
Even when we know they couldn’t love us in the way we need.
Even when we know it wasn’t real love…
Our body still aches.
Because it wasn’t just emotional chemistry.
It was energetic wiring.
