Hi Sarah,

I read your post, do you think that the anxiety you are feeling is because you are going from romantic love/crush/infatuation..to something that is a little less exciting and intense and you are missing that aspect?

Usually when we meet someone, it starts off as instant attraction, a spark, chemistry..it’s like euphoria. We feel like we have the world in our hands. Everything is magical, blissful and beautiful..this goes on for about 4 months called the “infatuation” stage where we can sometimes fantasize or I realize the relationship. The intimacy and kissing, holding hands like you said is awesome. You crave being with that person, it’s exciting, and intense and passionate, but it only lasts for so long, then the “honeymoon” period is over, and one is left wondering, “what happened?” where did it all go? It’s not the same. Reality sets in..the infatuation stage is over and the real relationship starts, and many people crave that “high” they had at the infatuation stage and want it back. Do you think this may be what is causing your anxiety? Keep us posted.
