heart. And what it means "out"?

I know I'm making a very uncomfortable sense with what I'm writting, so once

hedonism is the law.!!

"To eat one's heart out, 'to worry excessively', is a
vivid figurative description which also evokes the often
intensely physical symptoms of worry, actually predates
the English language, since it turns up in Homer's
Odyssey (about 850 BC) and in writings by Pythagoras four
hundred years later. Some proverbial sayings have a very
long history indeed".

"eat one's heart out 1: to grieve bitterly 2: to be jealous"
