Love zombie (under unique stories)
COnstantly checking your e-mails, phone and your favorite social networking site up to the point of going paranoid over and over? You know it's three in the morning and your hands just won't get off your phone even just for a minute. The object of your affections, your lovey dovey
You might be bitten by the love zombie.
YOur lover might be waiting on the other side of the world or city far from you. YOu get the itch to meet him, but certain circumstances seem to block you from meeting up.
Obsessive love is a state in which one person feels an overwhelming obsessive desire to possess another person toward whom they feel a strong attraction, with an inability to accept failure or rejection. Although not categorized specifically under any specific mental diagnosis by the DSM IV, many people argue that obsessive love is considered to be a mental illness similar to "attachment disorder, borderline personality disorder, and erotomania. Obsessive lovers may feel entirely unable to restrain themselves from extreme behaviors such as acts of violence toward themselves. They may be entirely convinced that their feelings are love.
The "Obsessive Love Wheel" (OLW) is a hypothetical sphere originally described by Dr. John D. Moore in his book, Confusing Love with Obsession. The wheel illustrates the four stages of Obsessive Relational Progression as part of Relational Dependency (RD). Moore suggests that for people who are afflicted with relational dependency (love addiction, codependency, etc.) their relationships often follow the pattern of the wheel. It is currently unknown if the same principles apply for a sudden attraction to anyone who bears a friendship, but can be speculated that this is something different entirely.
Vocabulary Enhancement:
1. zombie love- like puppy love, this type of love is an undying passion and love of any one person or thing in which you cannot get thinking about them out of your head because of how much you just can't live without them.
2. lovey dovey- your sweet heart, the object of your love.
3. "get the itch" - a sudden urge to do something, immediately.
