Love addict? I think so...

I have been watching Sex Rehab on VH1 and wondering why I'm having such strong feelings about it every time. To the point of crying after each episode. I really identify with Amber on the show. She has extreme feelings of being unworthy and wondering why she's not good enough. Well, I have those, too, and I'm obsessed with an unavailable guy who's really not worth obsessing over in the first place.


Then, I found this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limerence


This is true about me. I thought I'd share it because I'm sure I'm not the only one in an A that's like this. I am the obsessor. He isn't all that in to me, but I can't stop seeing him when he calls, and I can't stop thinking about him. I can't stop obsessing over every little thing he says or does, wondering if this means he cares or that means he wants to keep seeing me. I fantisize about him telling me he loves me or even just saying that he cares and of course, that will never happen.


Soon,

You arent alone in this. I have the same feelings you have. This is something I've dealt with alot during my life. I believe I'm a love addict and codependent. I've read about codependency and it seems that is what
