Am I going insane? Or is this "normal"?

But then I kept busy around the house, plus it was okay, because I was sure I was doing the right thing. A couple hours ago, it started to hurt again and I just wanted to cry. But now? Now it's about the time he would've emailed me and I feel like I'm coming out of my skin. I want to talk to him so bad I've been sitting here shaking for the last hour and pacing the floor. I've deleted all his previous emails and his address or I would have emailed him already.
I've since calmed down (thanks to soreinside!), but now I'm sitting here wondering...am I going nuts? lol Or this normal? This is exactly why I think of MM as my addiction, my "drug of choice". I've always been a very emotional person, but geez, this is ridiculous. I can't even blame the swings on PMS. lol

Your not nuts , you are in fact going throw cycles of withdrawal, both from emotional and bio-chemical addiction, the first is simple enought to understand the second is caused because the stress of the affair causes your body to activate the fight or flight response causeing glands in your brain to produce natural painkillers and stimulants much the same way an extreme athlete can become addicted from the emotional and physical stress of his sports.
The withdrawal symtoms will come and go in cycles, if you do not feed the addiction by brakeing NO CONTACT then they cycles will become less intense and less often over time tell they stop all together.
