It’s been quite some time since you broke up with the one you loved, but you still experience that sinking feeling every morning when you get up. Breakup, undoubtedly is one of the most heart-wrenching phases in life that one goes through.

Actor Olivia Wilde revealed in a recent interview that she had to fight weight and sleep issues after her marriage came to an end last year. The Hollywood star said she experienced a manic phase and took respite in food in a bid to self-medicate and also suffered from insomnia.
