Falling in love can feel like getting high, and a split can be like withdrawal. Here's how to cope.
Think you might be addicted to love? It turns out everyone is to some degree?? biologically speaking, of course. The brain is hardwired to recognize amorous feelings as a reward, just as it does when introduced to potentially addictive substances ? hence, the euphoria. Likewise, your brain doesn't want to let love go, and physically withdraws when love is taken away. In other words, love hurts...literally.
