I didn't even know about ciao cafe until I was browsing through ciao today and somehow seeing this I felt i had to write, having had to cope with the death of my father and in many ways that of ...

In the long run, it made me mad, not upset, i got worse at what i was good at, thought lowly of myself but most of all, I was breaking!

In the worst cases, sufferers of what I will call "heartbreak" for want of a better word can become depressed (clinical, real depression as opposed to the sort you suffer when your football team loses) and even ...
...it's too much; the weight of the pain is too great for them to carry and they break down. Some people will only suffer in this way for a matter of days; others may take years to get themselves back to normal. Some people never make it. It is common for people who are going through this trauma to believe that no-one else in the history of the world has ever felt as desperately sad as they do.
