Love Addiction

There is a difference between a person in love and a person that has a love addiction.  Love addiction actually has two different definitions.  These two definitions of love addiction are:

• Serial dating: constantly having to have a companion in your life no matter what. Once you end it with one person, you automatically find another to fill the void.
• Remaining with a person despite the pain that they inflict on your physical, mental, emotional and social health.

Love addiction is the eighth most serious addiction in the United States today and both teens and adults are suffering from this problem.  Admitting that you have a  love addiction may seem like a silly thing to say, but this problem can become serious over time and for some, this addiction can cause death.

Consequences of Love Addiction

There are consequences that come with a love addiction.  Despite which definition you fall into, the effects can be the same.  Either way, you can find yourself in a bad situation that will lead to difficult outcomes.  Several side effects that come with having a love addiction include, but are not limited to:

• Contracting a sexually transmitted disease
• Being physically abused
• Stress
• Anxiety
• Aging
• Losing your career, family, friends and way of life
• Depression
• Low self-esteem
• Suicide
