Can you have insomnia from a breakup?

[CorvetteGirl]

So I just broke up with my boyfriend who I loved. It's been kinda hard but it was only yesterday.

I just can't seem to sleep. What's wrong with me?

Your feeling anxiety, depressed, sad cause of the break up
this alone can make one have a impossible issue with being
able to fall sleep, you lay awake think of them , wonder about
things all you can do is think of good things, such as seeing
a friend who you talk with, think of pleasant happy things you
will feel better and eventually fall sleep and start feeling better.

It's because the break up was recent and fresh. There might be more sleepless nights. :(

[CorvetteGirl]

Oh good gosh please no

[coolbreeze]

But things should be ok eventually.

[CorvetteGirl]

I hope so

[coolbreeze]

Yes they should be.

I usually have the same problem... also get high blood pressure 😔

[coolbreeze]

@Jimmydeano I hope your able to get sleep and rest man. That sucks about having high blood pressure.

Yeah, mental anxiety or stress is a trigger for insomnia.

[CorvetteGirl]

I'm thinking it's stress and the breakup.
What do I do?

[shadowlegend]

Learn relaxation techniques, deal with your emotions in response to the breakup, and focus on doing things that make you feel good, even little things like a hobby, seeing friends, a certain activity, it will improve your mentality.

[CorvetteGirl]

I'll try that

[NightOwl8801]

It's possible.
But you're most likely stuff from anxiety , depression and sleep loss is caused from that because you're worrying yourself too much.

[CorvetteGirl]

[capturemyheartnow]

I can understand because you are still a kid in your teens.

[CorvetteGirl]
