It feels like a literal pain in your chest. Like having difficulty breathing.

I remember seeing my ex out in public 1 month after it ended and having a physical reaction, I became winded and very anxious

In college, I was dumped by a girl who was probably out of my league... she was a major "it girl"  and I was dumb enough to think we had a real shot of making it through a distance relationship. I was previously a pretty happy person but this rejection reduced me to a point where I literally couldn't get out of bed or focus on any aspect of school (academically or socially). The feeling of rejection was further amplified by the fact that I was consumed by negativity and my self-image was destroyed. I had no one to really talk to, I felt a pit in my stomach, was totally empty inside, and exhausted.

The only things that made these feelings go away was focusing on getting fkin YOLKED and my mental health. Eventually I found some self confidence and started dating again. In hindsight, I just wish I didn't hit the bottle as hard through college and the few years following. After seeing it happen to me and some of my friends, heartbreak lasts a LONG time and is probably a reason why some men struggle with emotions to this day. A lot of guys claim they "feel nothing" or are "dead inside", I would guess have some type of event like a heartbreak. 

Edit: TY to OP for offering me a few minutes to reflect on that version of myself. Hopefully some young kings can learn from this. Heartbreak happens and it was a formative life experience. 

 

Like a fat guy steps on your chest and you have a ocean-sized hole in your stomach. And everything around you falls into nothingness, you don´t sleep, you don´t eat, you don´t even wanna breath anymore. It fucking sucks.
