Unhappiness is a major cause of illness, and relationship problems are a major cause of unhappiness. Some estimates go as high as 80% of primary care initial consultaions' being around psychosomatic illness, i.e. around physical illness induced by emotional distress.

xref this with ...

loneliness, lowering of immune system, depression,
anxiety, social isolation

the truth is we all NEED love, without it we die

big hug to everyone, you're not alone
and if you're in my neighborhood look me up
