Finally landed a semi stable relationship. Everytime I hear or read 'I love you' my heart drops to my stomach and the misery hits. There is no reason for me to feel this way. Is this mental illness?
there are tests where oxytocin, which is a pair bonding chemical, is given to people and what they found is it actually increased anxiety. theres something really integral to the feeling of longing that can only be found in vulnerability. without accessing that part of your brain, you probably can never know love.
