You're right, the mind certainly is a powerful thing. I'm sure there really is something to this mindset thing, if you deny the existence of sickness it is unable to manifest itself ! In your case, your sick feeling affects you due to the mental thoughts you have re: the man who broke your heart. You now are in the mindset that every time you visualise him, you are going to feel physically sick. So you do.

I wouldn't call sickness an illusion but can admit that the mind can heal in certain ways.
I have healed cuts that needed stitches in 4 days before and people were witness to it.
I recently thought I cracked a bone in my hand(sunday afternoon)
It was swollen and I couldn't use it.
By ignoring it altogether and trying to use it anyways,I am now using it fully and the swelling has gone down.
It feels ok again.
The mind is very powerful when you believe in it.

Sometimes i think i havn't aged at all over the last 15 years or so.....
whats that saying 'you are as young as you feel'
but there is another which is 'act your age not your shoe size'
