Is It Possible to Be Addicted to Someone?
Question by Emily: Is it possible to be addicted to someone?
I’ve been told in the past that I have an addictive personality (I’ve been through self harm and solvent abuse before) but I’m getting increasingly worried over my obsession/addiction over someone that I love. I can’t go a day without seeing them or I get serious “withdrawal symptoms”. I can’t concentrate on anything, I become increasingly irritated and I get very teary and emotional. When I see them, I’m just in total awe and in a state of euphoria until it comes the time when I have to leave again. I’M NOT A STALKER. I can control myself that way but I just can’t seem to get enough of this person. I get the urge to touch their skin, talk to them, tell them how I feel. I can’t detach myself and then I go from being on a high after seeing them to going into a really bad “low” afterwards. They consume my thoughts 24/7 including my dreams. Does this come under having an addictive personality, or something else? Thankyou. x

Yes u can be addicted to a person when you use a person as a drug. i am exactly like you i would use that person to forget all the other and just tell them all i feel in the moment then when that person has to go i get real mad and mean even hurt the person and omg…. i cutted myself because i said i would be independent and separate myself because it does you and me very wrong. all the time im alone like now im thinking of that person but i always try to stop myself the most i can. i dont know how to help u just telling u i know how it is..
Hi, I know what you mean; I have issues with self harm, eating and so on also.
Have you ever thought about what causes you to feel this way? Are you sort of scared that maybe you may not be ‘good enough’ for this person or that s/he may leave you? I get attached to people too, I know how you feel, you get so emotionally involved that you are so paranoid that SOMETHING has to happen. As if you can’t handle the thought of your ACTUALLY being happy? – too good to be true maybe?
I know it’s hard and you need to TRY and be strong. Maybe you could just be in a state of extreme infatuation, love maybe? I don’t know; i’m not a ‘trained professional’ or anything. But I do wish you the best.
Yes, it’s true that people DO split up or break apart and there’s rarely anything we can really do about it, as time goes on you will have to learn to accept that. Maybe you could talk to someone about it?
I hope everything goes well for you:)
Best wishes xx
