taking control

What's going on in your head when you're heartbroken? Confusion, shock, anger and loneliness, to name a few feelings. More specifically, the happy hormones - dopamine, serotonin, oxycytocin, and adrenaline that are produced when you're in love start to decrease, leaving you feeling "hung over" from love. The result is, your mood plunges from ecstatic levels to rock-bottom lows. Since the same chemicals are secreted when you do certain drugs, going through a breakup can feel a bit like kicking a drug addiction.
