If you’re going through a breakup, you might be feeling like the pain and rejection might never go away. It’s hard to get over someone you love, but did you know that your brain is really reacting to the same chemical response that a cocaine addict feels during a withdrawal?

So the next time someone tells you to get over your heartbreak or to move on quicker, let them know that your head and your heart are merely reacting to the loss appropriately. But make sure you take time to take care of yourself and move on from your breakup in the healthiest way possible.
