Breakup as a Chemical Process

Breakups trigger the release of cortisol and epinephrine in the brain, leading to stress, cravings, and withdrawal-like symptoms. The muscles prepare for a fight or flight response, causing physical tension and discomfort. This stress response can also affect the immune system, digestion, and sleep quality. The intense emotions experienced during a breakup are not irrational but rather result from the chemical changes happening in the brain and body.
