Is it possible? I'm not talking about loving your family, I mean a romantic, mutual love between two people. I guess I'm just getting depressed after reading this article in Nat. Geographic about how passionate love, as a chemical reaction is almost indistinguishable from people who have obsessive compulsive disorder (which I have, among other things...) It lowers the seratonin in your blood, it becomes, essentially like a mental illness! Doesn't make it sound so appealing.
And also, they talked about Prozac (which I'm on) and its reduction of sex drive, and also the ABILITY to fall in love. all this has made me increasingly depressed. It probably doesn't help that I've done practically nothing all day allowing my mind to roam free (which is never a good thing when you have a mind like mine).
I have never been in love, probably. I've felt what I think is love. I've had crushes, but they don't count for much when the guy doesn't know your name. What I'm wondering is, have any of you ever been in love? Do you think it's hard for everyone or just us?
