Addicted to Girlfriend?

Postby jrohas » Tue Jan 17, 2012 2:11 am

I'm xx age, and am what I'd call my first serious relationship. We've been together for four months, are doing great and just keep getting better. We both love each other very much (according to us, and I know I'm just a kid, and it could not be love, etc. etc., but that's not the point of the post).

My problem, however, is I can't seem to enjoy my time whenever I'm not with my girlfriend. If she's busy and can't hang out with me, I get depressed and don't want to hang out with other friends or do anything. I always have to be texting her or continuing conversation with her to make myself feel better. I'm not suffocating her or anything, we've talked about this issue, and she likes always being with me or talking to me as well. However, she doesn't go through these emotional ups and downs like I do when we're not together.

Basically, I feel like she makes me so happy that nothing else in my life even compares. It's like a drug almost; once the high goes away, I feel like I need another dose or I'm depressed. I feel like this is a common problem for people, and I just want to know how I can help myself feel not so terrible when I'm not with my girlfriend.

Thanks!

I don't think that's particularly unusual. In fact, I've experienced the same thing after only 2 or 3 dates with a girl numerous times...there's probably something wrong there, but to feel that way about a girlfriend? Probably just means you have a little bit of an anxious-preoccupied attachment style. Does this sound like you? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attachment ... attachment

I think it's just normal for a person who is inlove with her girlfriend. But ofcourse don't expect she will feel the same way as you. But you should minimize also being with your girlfriend all the time because in in the future it might be a problem. Mingle with other people like your friends and family. Your world should not be her only, you still have family that you need to spend time with. It should be balance and don;t forget to left something for yourself. :wink:
