Schmerz

I think this article explains a lot about the physical manifestations of emotional pain I have experienced since K broke up with me.  People always seem confused when I tell them how my stomach hurts so much I can't eat, or that I experience a crushing pain in my chest.  Our minds -- and their emotional health -- are intimately connected with our bodies in ways that many religions and traditions recognize but science often does not.

It is another gray day here on Long Island.  I am trying to stay busy with my schoolwork and ignore the shockingly realistic, heartbreaking dream I had last night.  No, K does not love me anymore.  He has not for a very long time.  It was not real.
