Dealing with heartbreaks is not easy. Some people even contemplate suicide whenever they are heartbroken. 

Is there a story unfolding in your community? Let Hivisasa know

According to Brennan C. Mallonee, a licensed mental health counsellor, one needs to seek advice during this time. 

Below are five subtle signs your heartbreak is becoming something more serious:

1. You start avoiding friends

Friends bring happiness into your life. 

If you start avoiding them, it means all is not well. 

Please think twice before making that step because you might develop suicidal thoughts during such moments.

2. You spend time thinking about him or her

Are you spending the entire day thinking about your exe? When your thoughts keep revolving around them, it means your heartbreak is taking a different twist. 

Find something to keep you busy during such times.

3.  You start feeling physically ill

 Heartbreaks can affect your health. 

When you start feeling physically sick, it means the condition is becoming worse. 

You need to seek immediate counselling to overcome the same. 

Some of the common signs you will experience include poor appetite, low energy, and insomnia among others.

 4. Your needs no longer matter

Different needs should be fulfilled.

When these needs no longer matter, it means you are being overwhelmed. 

Rethink your love life when you reach this point. 

5. No more fun in your life

When you no longer want to engage in activities that make you happy, it means the condition is worsening. 

There is a need to find a solution immediately you realise things are heading in this direction. 

Engaging in fun activities motivates you to work on your dreams.
