Dear Unni:

I was not in your situation before, so I can’t tell you if I got over it. But I am okay with trying to help you understand your situation better. You wrote that you were ecstatic to be in a wonderful relationship with your amazing girlfriend. And if I understand correctly, you were ecstatic for three months before you were “suddenly struck by this overwhelming feeling of disconnect”-

– it is possible to explain what happened to you emotionally, in this way: as the saying goes, whatever goes up, must come down. You were up emotionally for three whole months, ecstatic and amazed. Being ecstatic and amazed for too long cannot be sustained: it is too taxing for our nervous and endocrine (hormones) system to be stimulated like this for too long. So, taxed and overwhelmed, your nervous and endocrine system relaxed- a natural physiological reaction to over-stimulation. Relaxed, you no longer feel ecstatic.. for now.

Do you think that this is a possibility?
