If you feel that your mood oscillates between euphoria and fear, you have trouble sleeping, you have lost your appetite, your heart is racing or you feel anxiety... indeed, it is love. It's like riding a roller coaster of mixed feelings.

It is no coincidence that all these symptoms resemble those that someone can feel with a drug shot.
