I read something the other day that says that when we first fall in love our brain chemistry creates so much serotonin that it makes us almost obsessive compulsive about the person we love.

That is a fancy way of telling us that our brains won't let us accept the truth of the situation.

It is sad when our love is not returned, but it is even more difficult when our brain chemistry is still telling us that there can never be anyone else.

The truth is there will be. All of us who have had our hearts broken and had to go on and look back can tell you that no matter how many times it happens, it does get better.

You just have to force yourself to do and think about other things until your brain starts helping you by producing less of the serotonin. That will happen over time when you expose yourself less and less to her influence.

Things are not always as they seem but as we perceive them to be. You need to change your perpective even if your heart doesn't want it. You will be ok, you will find new love. Trust me. It will happen for you and you will be really happy because it will be mutual.
