Love addiction can be like being addicted to drugs .. Do you agree ?

Love addiction may seem like a fluffy idea next to sticking needles in your veins, but if you think about how many suicides and homicides seem to have some kind of love-gone-wrong narrative, the picture begins to look pretty serious. There’s little doubt that for many people, the pain of the end or interruption of love feels unbearable. Because emotional pain follows some of the same neurological pathways as physical pain, the experience has a famously physical dimension—a sense of being unable to breathe, of being taken over by manic energy that drags you racing down the street or checking your love object’s Facebook page.

Any addiction IS addiction to drugs. The body is its own chemical factory allowing for a chemical cascade, resulting in the release of dopamine. Anything can be a trigger - love, food (especially sweets), sex, gambling, shopping, surfing the web - ANYTHING.
