10 Signs You’re A Bona fide Love Addict ~ Elephant Journal

April 13, 2018

We all love the feeling of being in love. Let’s face it, it’s pretty magical.

The butterfly feelings we get when we see each other, the sexy bantering of text messages that pop up on our phones throughout the day, the non-stop daydreams and fantasizing about the person when we aren’t together. Mmm, hmm…it’s all pretty fabulous.

Or we may chase the next “high” when a relationship ends because we get off on the “love sick” feeling at the beginning of each relationship. For some, going without it even for a few weeks leaves them feeling empty, scared, and alone.
