ADDICTED TO BEING LOVED

Many of us are battling with depression and we don't know, yes it's possible. We suffer from different psychological stress and dispute which does not leave tracks on our body but our soul,heart and mind. This particular one I'm interested in is common among young people.

One that hasn't gone through poverty wouldn't know the importance of wealth and also one who hadn't been terribly hungry would not understand the importance of food.

Just like feelings. Many think it's silly, especially when they hear the depressed talk. It's not at all. Been addicted to been loved is a serious psychological issue many are going through and they're fighting war within them that many others can't phantom and they're frustrated because most of them do not understand what they were doing in that period of love seeking.

Been addicted to been loved is simply been addicted to wanting to be loved. People suffering this stress are undergoing lots of pressure they're unaware off. Yes! My sister! My brother! You can be going through something, you know it but you don't understand. So it's possible.

But in this case, this depression is caused by lack of love from the micro environment of the individual that is, the home. Many parents neglect their kids for themselves,businesses etc some even leave the kids to themselves because they're quarreling with each other. They're also ignorant. And by that a space of neglect and rejection is created in the heart of these children. The child feels it first in his or her heart,that they're left alone. Then feels it in their mind that they're all by themselves and cannot survive alone. At this stage, it's still easy to bring the person back on track. But the instance the child realizes, she has to search for love at all cost. Then, this is the peak.

I was once addicted to been loved and I fell into wrong hands in the name of love hunting not realizing what I was hurting myself searching,was with me directly.

You know most times what we kill ourselves looking for is right by our sides. I search to been loved until I realized the love I needed was loving myself. I realized I was looking for love and I couldn't love myself by myself. It's really funny, multiple problems all together. No wonder I couldn't think straight,it got to a point I get drunk to sleep and to temporarily forget my worries of been alone.

At the end of the day, I became alone. It was dark to be sincere but I found light when I realized I'm living for many people,my siblings, my loving mum(Iyaaa) and other people who look up to me.

I had to brace myself. I had to love myself all by myself. It's hard because I'm still learning to love myself. You have to learn faster than I did because you're reading this right now.

Stay with yourself! No one knows you better than yourself. Be sure that you love yourself enough to be able to share love to others. Talk to people you know you can trust, the first healing process is to let few wise people know what you're going through. Love yourself by yourself, no one can do better.
