Something where the MC seems like his soul was sucked out of him, an empty shell, or not functioning properly (to the point where it may cause health issues).
I guess I want that can't eat, sleep, think straight sort of distraught.
The only examples I can give would be
Yume no Kodomo

When Ren goes overseas for 10 days how Youji wasn't his normal self.
Aishuu

How Jin ends up in the hospital, because Kaoru left him.
(Even these are a mild extent of what I'm looking for).
Thanks for taking the time to read this post.
Sidenote - I tried seeing if there were other threads talking about this, but I was at a loss at what to search, so I didn't do an extensive search as I would like to. If there's one or more on this subject, please feel free to write them.
