Love is a pure and sincere feeling that brings joy and happiness, inspires hope. It should not be confused with a destructive love addiction that destroys human dignity and self-respect.
What is love addiction
A relationship between two people undoubtedly requires loyalty, dedication and a willingness to meet the needs of a loved one. But it is important that it is mutual and appreciated by others. You should not get carried away with the manifestation of your feelings, especially if the partner does not care. In such a situation, you can easily cross the line from ordinary love to love addiction.
If the relationship brings you only pain and suffering, you experience a constant feeling of anxiety, emotional hunger and discomfort, know that you are addicted to love, and this is a disease that requires treatment. Moreover, not only women, but also men are sick with her.
In the stronger sex, love addiction is much more difficult, and accordingly, it is not so easy to get rid of it.
Love addiction is when a person in love literally goes crazy, if his partner is not around, he simply cannot live peacefully without him. His behavior becomes obsessive, sometimes aggressive, he always tries to be near and control the behavior of his lover. This painful condition is clearly visible from the outside, but the trouble is that the addict himself is not aware of this.
How to treat love addiction?
Treatment can be very long and difficult, since love addiction, like any other, causes persistent psychological attachment and completely destroys the normal emotional background of a person. Getting rid of this disease is almost impossible without the help of a competent psychotherapist.
As much as it hurts, you need to let go of the relationship in which you have become a victim of love addiction. To do this, you need to move away from the object of passion. The best thing is to take a vacation and go somewhere far away, relax and unwind. A change of residence is also suitable. You can stay with friends or relatives for a couple of weeks or rent an apartment in the opposite part of the city. This will be the most "painful time" and the first step into a new life.
So that there is no time for self-pity, for memories and tears, take care of yourself and your life. And everything in it must be new. Therefore, change your image, make repairs in your apartment or in the country, change your place of work, throw away old, boring things and everything that reminds you of the object of your love addiction.
Next, engage in increasing self-esteem, meet new, interesting people and, of course, enjoy life.
You should not build new relationships until you finally understand yourself. This can lead to the same love addiction, only to another person.
Still, the best solution would be to see a good psychotherapist. He will help to understand the causes of psychological addiction, and this is the most important point in treatment. If you do not find out and do not understand the reasons for your addiction, its plot can be repeated in all subsequent relationships. So don't be afraid to ask for help.
