Romantic withdraw syndromes.
It may seem
that hangover is the least romantic thing ever, but I’ve unfortunately can
confirm the existence of a new species: an emotional hangover.
I came
across a theory that I totally believe in: when you drink you borrow joy from
the next day. Getting super cheerful and having the time of your life will
result in headache, dehydration and poor brain processing speed. It seems the
same goes for constant cuddling and kissing someone you feel connected to.
Statements like “Baby, you’re my heroine” are
so Lana Del Rey, but became spot on commentary on the last week of my life.
Turns out
one night of dancing and a preview of a hypothetical future sex life is enough
to become an addict. That’s what it takes – a moment of bliss, of no world
apart from the other person. And you’re hooked.
Since you’re
back in a country you’ve chosen to live in there’s nothing to experience, but
withdraw syndromes: constant facebook communication, apathy, paranoia and neglecting your work and
uni duties. Questioning the point of any action not connected to planning a
Christmas getaway.
Really hating
yourself for it, letting people down and thinking only about experiencing that
harmony of two individuals again.
And yes, it’s
as destructive as it sounds.
I need to
add another point to my bad habit list, however I've found a way to have it under control.
I truly believe
I am able to downgrade myself from an addict to a recreational user and save my
sanity.
