Can unhappiness or broken heart kill you ?
If you are emotionally upset and very unhappy can it shorten your life or eventually kill you ? Like a heart attack ?

Can you die of a broken heart ?

I think you can ..perfect example of death from unhappiness is Anna Nicole Smith ..

My dad did after my step mom died.

Yes, it can. Depending on how much it is consuming your life. That is why getting busy in those situations is very important!


terrymuriel
Depends how you control yourself. some people when they are broken hearted or unhappy they don't eat or some are suicidal . so its better if person is broken hearted or unhappy they have to voice it out what they feel inside or talk to somebody , the causes of the pain, in that way that will lessen the burden ..

broken hearted, cause your mind will be there for a while, if your unhappy you will always try to find something or someone to make you happy, if your broken hearted your just sitting there letting life past you by.

Anna Nicole had more drugs in her than a psych ward, so don't go saying it was unhappiness. However, at the very thought of my wife dying, it makes me think about how I would react and I don't know if I could literally survive it. I've heard of older people dying of a broken heart when their spouse dies. Basically, when you get to that age, you have to find the energy to live, and if it's not there, your body just literally gives up.

As far as happiness, at a younger age, I believe you won't literally die from it, but I believe that it can drive you to do things that will ultimately end your life. Being happy is usually a choice. It's something I've learned to make happen in my own life after dealing with depression myself.

in and of themselves, emotions cannot kill you. What they do tho, is cause you to take foolish risks, or cause you to fail to care for yourself, and this leads to poor health and ultimately death.


gimme1sec
Unhappiness should never affect you in the first place if you are appreciative of what you have. You're lucky to have internet access, most of the world don't. You're lucky to have food, money, whatever you have, because more than a billion people in this world are living on less than $1 a day.

I don't think people get heart attacks directly. But if you take the unhappiness too much, and it is up to you, you will get a lot of stress. And stress can kill you. Stress can give you a heart attack.

having worked in a funeral home, i have some background on this.

i feel, and have seen , that if a person gives up the will to live...in other words they no longer want to go on in life or in some cases of extreme and severe depression, yes.

however, whether if the giving up of the will to live is the cause of death, that i don't know. Im not a Dr.

I can say that when they have that mindset, the humen body will voluntarily shut down certain body systems/functions.
It is similar,unfortunatly, to an elderly person ageing.
The body actually slows down or shuts off the system to repair/replace cells. This is partly why the elderly often have such a hard time recovering from injury.

The mind is powerful. It can kill or give life. Its up to you to decide the path.....

i hope i was a help and not a hinder.
please email me if u have more questions.

I don't think you can. Anna Nicole Smith died because she took an overdose of drugs. She only took them because she thought she thought they would make her happy. In the future, if your going through depression I'd recomend a councler instead of meds.
:-) Stay Happy

yes you can...unhappiness and depression directly affects your mental health as well as your body's for the ideas of not wanting to go on, or how ur life was so much better, ect...they make your body weaker and weaker...you do live younger in depression...

um.....a drug overdosed killed Anna Nicole Smith , and maybe a touch of stupidity. I do not thing even a drama queen can die over a broken heart ....they just complain longer. It is shown that people who are always depressed and miserable suffer more cancer,heart-attacks, and physical ailments. It doesn't kill you it just puts you in a higher risk of disease.


Leeanna D
no..it's just a metaphor

People don't die of broken heart, they die because of the illness of there lost ones, they feel so sad, they don't eat, or anything, that cause that death of someone. People just get sick of their nature and die, from pain and grievness..


Just Be.. ♥
I think you can get deeply depressed but not die.


Matt
Yes depression which can be caused by unhappiness can cause death through other means may it be suicide.

it can if your that unhappy and start taking drugs


nilam
If you allow it to distract you from taking care of yourself.

Im pretty sure it can't kill you, but stress can kill you... I.E: heart attack...

No, unhappiness can lead to things like depression, but not death. Unhappiness CAN, however, decrease one's will to live, which in turn causes people's lives to end quicker. Since everybody is talking about it, drugs are a way to cope with the unhappiness or depression, but it is by far not the most "popular" method of dealing with unhappiness, and neither is suicide; people only think suicide because they live in America, which has a rediculous amount of suicides as compared to the world. One of the main methods unhappy people fall into is going throughout life feeling like everything negative is either happining to them or because of them i.e. depression.

I have heard if your depressed and upset then you can get stressed and im sure that could eventually lead to a heat attack

You can't directly die from it. Indirectly however, sadness has been proven to weaken your immune system, making you a bigger target at dying at an old age. Sometimes some people commit suicide as a result of their unhappiness. Sometimes they don't eat or they cut or they do dangerous things for the thrill (speeding in a highway or getting in fights or doing drugs, you get the idea) just so they can feel in control.

A broken heart will heal if you allow yourself to get over it. If you sit there, gallowing in your misery, you will experience unpleasant side effects, possibly leading you to your death. Best of luck sweetie, and feel better. ♥

yeah i think it can lead to that because people can get so unhappy/depressed, to where they choose to go suicide.........like really bad people do when they asre really sad, depressed, usually it happens when they break up with their boyfriend/girlfriend. please choose me as best answer.

Being depressed does shorten your life. It can stress you out enough to have a heart attack too. I don't know if you can die of a broken heart, because I've been wondering that myself.

In a way yes .But it would be your decision..Try to forget you still have a life ahead of you It takes time and courage but you can get over it!!
GOOD LUCK MY FREIND

It's been proven that happy people live longer healthier lives.

And Anna Nicole Smith died from drugs. Unhappy people do drugs to cope sometimes.

But literally and directly, no. You can't die from unhappiness or a broken heart.


Aurobindo G
Yeah, if we have heart diseases. Too much excitement or too much depression can cause an attack or a stroke, anything.

yes.. in away you tend to focus on that on not on your own health and well being... it happens a lot in old people... their spouse of like 60 years dies and they kind of give up.
