    so today i stumbled upon a website about love addiction, and realised I fit in with a lot of the symptoms! These were all things that I though were normal and though everyone did, now im starting to wonder if maybe not?
    would be great to get some opinions from people, before i start worrying that i need to book myself into therapy! here are some examples of "symptoms" i have!

    When you fall in love, you can’t stop fantasizing—even to do important things. You can’t help yourself.

    Sometimes, when you are lonely and looking for companionship, you lower your standards and settle for less than you want or deserve

    Once you have bonded with someone, you can’t let go.

    When a relationship ends, you feel your life is over and more than once you have thought about suicide because of a failed relationship.

    Love and relationships are the only things that interest you.

    You are terrified of never finding someone to love.

    You feel inadequate if you are not in a relationship.

    Even if you are not in a relationship, you still fantasize about love all the time— either someone you once loved or the perfect person who is going to come into your life someday.


    So is it just me, or is everyone like this? if it is just me, does it really matter..?

    It's human nature to want love and romantiscise! You are one of millions! Don't worry!
