Falling In Love.....

The symptoms of a cold last between seven and fourteen days, well that is an easy disease course compared to falling in love, it is going to take you approximately a year or two to recover from the physical symptoms that love imposes on your body.

Love attacks the brain and its ability to maintain rational thought, so count on being emotionally unstable, or in layman's terms an emotional wreck, for at least a year after your initial exposure. Be aware that these symptoms can last upwards and well into the three year time period. There are no known treatments or cures for love and even chicken soup won't help to alleviate any of its symptoms. So crawl into bed and pull the blankets up over your head if you like, but if cupid has shot his little arrow in your direction then sooner or later you are going to find a silly little grin plastered across your face, and you will have to acknowledge the fact that you've been struck by love.



As you fall deeper and deeper into the complex state of disrepair known simply as love, your brain begins releasing a host of dizzying chemicals into your system, and one by one it is these chemical messages that force you to exist in a new state of heightened reality. It is a little protein molecule in your brain which is suspected to be partially accountable for these unnerving physical changes that you experience as you fall in love. Known simply as "nerve growth factor" or NGF, this little protein experiences a rapid increase in numbers when you fall in love, and it remains proportionally high in your brain for approximately one year after the initial assault that love delivers to your body.

"When infatuated we experience a surge of dopamine that rushes through the brain causing us to feel good. Norepinephrine flows through the brain stimulating production of adrenaline (pounding heart). Phenylethalimine (found in chocolate) creates a feeling of bliss. Irrational romantic sentiments may be caused by oxytocin, a primary sexual arousal hormone that signals orgasm and feelings of emotional attachment. Together these chemicals sometimes override the brain activity that governs logic." As stated at: http://www.selfcreation.com/love/infatuation.htm

Your heart may now beat faster, your palms sweat, and your hands and legs even tremble at the mere thought of your love interest. Being near the source of your infactuation sends you rocketing into heaven.

People in love are often seen glowing, grinning from ear to ear, or hop-skipping like a little kid might, and all these new mannerisms courtesy of the chemical changes occurring within that part of the body responsible for reasoning. Most of the chemicals released during this initial period send feel good messages to the body, but this increase of chemical messaging in the brain can also often have the "love struck individual" riding an emotional rollercoaster of uncontrollable highs and lows.

When the one you have fallen in love with disappoints you it is this same chemical heightening of your emotions that can send you plummeting into feelings of worry and despair.

Most individuals that fall in love find that the overpowering chemical messages being received from their infected brain do begin to lighten a little with time. The individuals involved can then move onward into a more rational and relaxed love relationship with their chosen mate.

Sometimes love just doesn't work out the way we plan, and for those individuals that do fail in their first adventure into true love, well they will usually then find themselves in that horrible emotional state of upheaval known as "heartbreak". Don't panic. Everything will be okay in a little while. The chemical changes that your body undergoes falling out of love subside much quicker than those associated with falling in love.

Although "broken heart syndrome" does exist and people can die from the adrenalin rush associated with a broken heart, suffering the ill feelings of a lost loved one is rarely fatal, and time generally works very well at healing the wounds from this devastating event.

For those that aren't lucky enough to have Cupid's arrows dowsing them in marital bliss the first time around, they usually recover within a matter of months, and then find themselves going on with their lives just as they had done previous to his attack. That is until Cupid once again takes aim, and sends his fulled loaded little arrows, flying in their direction one more time. Then you can duck, or try to hide, but that all encompassing phenomenon known as "love" is bound to find you once again.
