Can data cure a heartbreak?

Added on by patricia wang.

While having a broken heart isn't an official disorder under the DSM manual, it definitely has a huge impact on one's sense of well-being - emotional, physical, and in some cases, financial. 

And while there's no pill or easy cure for heartbreak and the medical issues it brings, I like Quantified Breakup's attempt to speed the healing process. She diagrams out her physical activities in hope that the data will show her that she indeed is getting better. And maybe if she sees that if she's getting better, it will motivate her to feel better. All the best to her!
