Are you an addicted of love?
Have you ever seen a dog have an anxiety attack when their owner leaves? Or maybe seen a child leave their mom for the first time and you see the child or sometimes the mom start to cry and get nervous. Almost like they are in withdrawal?
Well you may not realize it but you might be addicted to love as well. Thankfully it is curable and you do not have to go to a rehab center to help you get over the addiction. The first thing you need to know are some of the signs, the better you can understand yourself the more you can prepare yourself against the addiction.
One of the major signs of love addiction is an unwavering determination to be around the person at all times. You will cancel appointments, skip out on friends, and even blow off your family just to be around them. If you find yourself overly eager to be around them then you are on your way to being addicted.
How about control? Do you feel you are out of control or things are going hectic if you can not control the other person’s actions or account for their whereabouts at all times? You may just be a very controlling person but if you were not like this before and you find yourself like this now then you need to start to rethink who you are.
One more biggie is feeling like you need to be around the person all the time. Wanting to be around someone is normal but needing to the point where you are freaking out or losing control is a big “no no” and one of the best signs of knowing you are addicted.
So what can you do? That is easy, pay attention to yourself and see how you are acting if you think you are getting addicted give yourself a little break or change the way you behave so you can kick the habit. Being in love is good, being addicted to love is bad.
So pay attention to your behavior, your friends and family and make sure you watch what you do.
