Loving You Is Killing Me!
Many people may be surprised to realize that fitness & nutrition are just two components of the SusieQ FitLife Family mission. However, there are many aspects involved when it comes to getting a FitLife! Relationships deeply affect and impact the status of your health and can determine the quality of your life! It all brings us back to that raw emotion of a pulsating heartbeat, sweaty palms and butterflies flowing throughout one’s stomach that spells out L-O-V-E. Oh yes, love is in the air during FitLife LOVE Week! What comes to mind when you think of love? Is it attraction, lust, marriage or seeing a baby in a baby carriage? We are going to take a closer look at love, as a large number of individuals have been infected with this deadly disease according to reports!
The World Health Organization (WHO), recently put love on their official list of serious diseases. An international medical code of (F 63.9) represents love as an official disease! Accordingly to the WHO, people in love are considered as having a psychological problem, right after the alcoholics, maniacs-arsonists, gamblers, drug-dependents and others of the kind.
The symptoms include:
- Mood swings
- Sleeping problems
- Headaches
- Unhealthy swings in blood pressure
- Allergic reactions
- Depression
- Panic attacks
- Anxieties
- Lack of energy
- Abnormal heart rhythms
- Sweating
- Impaired brain functions,
- Incoherent speech patterns
- Clammy hands and dry mouth
- Preoccupation
- Loss of appetite
- Stuttering
It’s possible that someone could be a “Gold Digger” in the emotional sense of love pathologically. The person who seeks love in order to obtain security will become similar to the alcoholic; increasingly dependent on this source of illusory well-being. This is typical behavior for obsessive-compulsive disorders, but considered by many as a not well-understood neuro-physiological phenomena.
If it takes anywhere between 90secs to 4 minutes to decide if you are attracted to someone, as your eye pupils dilate to these Psychologists reports; maybe there is such a thing as love at first sight! Do you realize how powerful a bond between two people can become when you mix a hormonal cocktail? Pretty darn explosive could be the words to describe the flames that ignite when intimacy takes place. Entering the BIG Picture is the release of serotonin hormone, which will keep any man actively consumed with thoughts about his mate. Not to mention the oxytocin hormone can make any woman become addicted to her mate.
Bugs of Love!
Love is the most confusing feeling to experience and the reason why many say that love is blind. It beats all understanding, including the philosopher’s logic. Most medical personnel agree that love is a serious disease. It feels bad when love is unrequited. This breeds low self-esteem and an unexplainable level of panic. Hopelessness soon takes its toll and things can get even worse. Love makes everything seem to revolve around their lover and life loses its worth if the lover does not reciprocate. Many associate the beauty of life with the ability to love and being loved. Love sickness does not necessary come from unequal dispensation of affection. Even when two lovers are deeply in love sometimes the situations remains the same. Have you ever heard of love bugs? They eat you up from the inside out, if you are pinning and missing the person who is next to you. Crazy isn’t it?!
Broken Heart?!
Love impairs the level of thinking. Making decisions become so hard since the mind is mostly preoccupied by the other person. This is what we usually call being madly in love. Love sickness causes the victim to think with the heart rather than the mind. Rational thinking is no longer important. Women love married men and men leave their families. Do not feel like an idiot for doing all the wrong things. It is called “love sickness”. Love has a way of bringing obsession with it and it simply doesn’t ask why. It is actually possible to reach a state of hopelessness. You are desperately awaiting e-mails and text messages. If the expectations are not met, the heart is broken.
Crime of Passion
Nothing is more painful than a broken heart. This is love sickness at its best. Insomnia, emotional eating, mania and inflated self-esteem are all signs of love sickness. People who are in love tend to change their moods quicker than woman change their shoes, with no apparent reason at all. Ten minutes lateness or a missed call is enough reason to cause restlessness and depression. If you ask me, love sickness is the most dangerous condition and doctors should start taking its diagnosis seriously. A love smitten person can easily take away his/her life. We have heard of enough stories where lovers murder one another and committed suicide; in a crime of passion with a homicide/suicide. These instances are caused by a destabilized state of mind caused by falling in love. Interestingly, it tends to be the people who surround a couple who can recognize obvious red flags, warnings or danger-danger signs before the individuals in a relationship can see it! It has been said that “it is hard to see the big picture, when you are in the frame!”
Used Goods or Valuable Treasures!
Engaging causally in sexual activity is socially accepted with music, movies magazines and the internet that everyone is exposed to this type of interaction. Meanwhile, society creates various terms as friends with benefits along with hooking up, smacking that, hitting this to the sound of sexting! Sometimes the unofficial “honeymoon phase” strikes faster than a hurricane; but does it last long & strong? Strangers don’t have much time to become acquainted & may fail to detect a player or heart breaker during the process. Ladies would feel less attachment and pain, when avoiding the non-committed relationship trend game! Did you know that it takes approximately 7 years to really fall in love with someone overtime in a marriage within the Jewish faith? Dr. Gavin Samuels, who is referred to as “Ask Dr. Love” on MetroImma.com; openly shares essential family values for meaningful & long lasting marriages. His beautiful wife, Mrs. Jodi Samuel of 19 years, along with their three adorable children should provide proof of this winning formula! There can be much success in finding love when core beliefs have been met and communication with respect are key!
Taking short cuts with relationships; while playing house too early, can provide drama, complications and love sickness. Why would a person lack sleep and drown in tears over another person? Many wonder and swear that they can never cry over a human being, but love beats even the strongest of hearts and reduces someone to feel like no one. The emotions and thoughts of a person’s behavior change, can become erratic. The intense feelings inflate the moods. Increased mood swings, can range from one end of the spectrum of excitement to an extreme side of sleepless depression. If the insomnia is not arrested, this can be harmful to the body. Exhaustion sets in. Love can easily kill in this slow fashion. A stressed lover can develop high blood pressure, cancer and other complications. Love sickness drives her/him slowly to a grave.
Almost all humans suffer from love sickness one or more times in their lives. Although typically harmless it can lead some personalities to serious physical/mental illness, suicide or possibly even death! In psychology, it’s very seldom for love sickness to be acknowledged!
