Is it possible to be addicted to someone?

Question by Emily: Is it possible to be addicted to someone?
I’ve been told in the past that I have an addictive personality (I’ve been through self harm and solvent abuse before) but I’m getting increasingly worried over my obsession/addiction over someone that I love. I can’t go a day without seeing them or I get serious “withdrawal symptoms”. I can’t concentrate on anything, I become increasingly irritated and I get very teary and emotional. When I see them, I’m just in total awe and in a state of euphoria until it comes the time when I have to leave again. I’M NOT A STALKER. I can control myself that way but I just can’t seem to get enough of this person. I get the urge to touch their skin, talk to them, tell them how I feel. I can’t detach myself and then I go from being on a high after seeing them to going into a really bad “low” afterwards. They consume my thoughts 24/7 including my dreams. Does this come under having an addictive personality, or something else? Thankyou. x

Yes u can be addicted to a person when you use a person as a drug. i am exactly like you i would use that person to forget all the other and just tell them all i feel in the moment then when that person has to go i get real mad and mean even hurt the person and omg…. i cutted myself because i said i would be independent and separate myself because it does you and me very wrong. all the time im alone like now im thinking of that person but i always try to stop myself the most i can. i dont know how to help u just telling u i know how it is..
