Addicted to love
But if you need to experience the symptoms of 'falling in love' on a regular basis, then beware - you could be addicted to love.
1. Do you often experience a feeling of emotional ecstasy when you begin a relationship - an emotional 'high'?
2. Do you tend to vastly overestimate that person's good qualities and virtually ignoring their faults?
3. Do you think obsessively and repetitively about that person throughout the day, even if you don't want to and those feelings are not reciprocated?
4. Do you have constant mood swings, from a feeling of great elation to deep depression?
5. Do these feelings intrude on other aspects of your life, including your work?
6. Do you always imagine that person to be 'the love of your life?
If you've said yes to three or more of these tell-tale signs, read on.
A once in a lifetime experience?
Falling in love can be such a wonderful thing. However, the initial excitement of the first few dates, sweaty palms and long, lingering kisses soon wears off and, when the love addict is forced to come down off that emotional high, he or she often loses interest.
Often mistaken for fear of commitment, love addiction is more complicated than a dread of settling down. The love addict often believes that the object of their desire is their 'soul mate' and, deep down, longs for a lasting relationship.
