How come no contact is like a cocaine addiction you're trying to get through?

Because it’s literally a form of grieving. This is why people say you shouldn’t directly date after a break up because you are going through a process of grief

It does feel like I lost the person. It feels like a death. But the fact that I could contact them and they respond is what's killing me. I know I should treat it like a death but it's hard. So freaking hard.

Being ghosted drives you crazy because it makes you doubt yourself and constantly wonder why you weren't good enough. When in reality the guy was just a dick.

The contact made happy chemicals in your brain. In both cases you are withdrawing from happy chemicals

Cause you miss the person

It hurts so damn much. I want to reach out so bad. But I know I can't.

I’m sorry

[Asker]

Thank you.

I don't think you've done cocaine
