I can say that I have become seriously enamored with things/people when in manic states. Sometimes it has continued on even after stabilization. I don't know that I'd call my cases "addiction". Although maybe to some degree, because there was an element of obsession involved. I had a period of maladaptive daydreaming that included love stories, specifically focused on a certain man. That did die down, eventually. I still have a strong crush on that person, but it's far less concerning now.
Q: Have you ever had a "love at first sight" sort of experience?
|
I didn't romantically love my husband at first sight, but I knew I loved him. We became great friends instantly. A year went by and we both ended up single. I had left to go back to school for the year, but we stayed in touch and talked all the time. I knew we would be together the moment I came home and saw him again. We've been together ever since.
