And, the resources I found in them were really within me. When I realize this, I feel whole again. Withdrawal Falling in love is a chemical experience. The loss of a love produces withdrawal symptoms similar to those experienced when quitting a drug. The good news is that withdrawal subsides with time, but only if one quits cold turkey.
Separation is painful, because one grows physically dependent on another.
Attraction and love cause endorphins to be secreted. When the source is removed, these endorphins drop, which is very emotionally painful. So, although the loss seems devastating, things are certain to get better with time. If I have to hold on tightly with all my might just to keep someone around, they are not the one for me. If I keep thinking about how I want them to change, they are not the one for me.
