Emotions

What are addictions? Addiction is the psychological and physical dependence with psychoactive substances. Despite negative consequences frequent abuse of these addictions then require the substances just to "feel normal." The brain produces chemicals called peptides. There are peptides for every emotion; love, anger, happiness, depression etc... Each cell has receptors for these peptides. When we experience these emotions the brain produces these biochemical peptides and sends them trough the blood. The peptides lock into the cell and give it information of the emotion that we feel. The peptides provide information for the cells which in turn tells you what to feel. With enough constant information of these peptides they can change the nucleus of the cells. These biochemicals get us naturally high.

Most people fall addicted to their emotions. And every time those peptides trigger the cells you need a little bit more in order to get a rush from it. If you cannot control your emotions then you must be addicted to them. We bring ourselves situations to meet our emotional and biochemical needs. Just like smoking or other types of drugs, they are psychologically and physically addictive. In no way are emotions bad they are good and they are what tie us into feeling moments and remembering them, it is the addiction to them that is bad. Take a depressed person. They keep telling themselves mentally to produce these peptides to make them get a rush of that feeling. Imagine when you cry, there is that one phrase or moment that just triggers everything and you start balling. Well, a lot of us will keep running that moment in our mind to keep crying.

With enough abuse when the cell divides it will make another cell with same receptors for the emotional peptides, and less receptors for what's more important such as nourishment or happiness for example. Someone who gets angry on a daily basis is a good example for this. They get angry everyday and they get a rush from it. Well when their cells divide, since the brain keeps giving them anger neural-peptides, those new cells will have more receptors for the peptides that the brain is giving. It's like if you work at a store and it's football season the store knows the customers they will get for the event. The store will make modifications to accompany the visitors they're getting.

People that are addicted to sex will look for the situations that will feed the emotional feeling they're looking for. I would believe this is why many people become porn stars. They're addicted to sex so they find a situation where not only can they get the feeling they desire but they also make a lot of money. So, how do you know if you're really in love with someone? When what you're in love with is the emotional desire that you're seeking. This is how many people can keep getting into the same type of relationships. A woman who is abused, logically will think that she wants someone who is nice. However, after much abuse her cells are conditioned to the peptides provided during this negative treatment. Therefore, her body will crave those feelings, it gives her a rush, a natural high. So subconsciously without knowing her body is addicted to it, she will become attracted to the guys that will treat her this way.

We are emotions and emotions are us, everything that happens in our body is under the influence of these emotions. This is why stress is considered the number one cause of illness. All aging is, is improper protein production. So after many years of constant abuse to the cells, does it matter what we really eat? Can they get the nourishment they need without the proper receptors? You have addictions because you have nothing better. Never dreamed of anything better never taught to dream of anything better. The human drama is from people not knowing how to change what they're emotionally addicted to. What will they lose that they are chemically addicted to. What person, place or thing that you're emotionally attached to that you fear of losing, because you're afraid of experiencing the emotional with drawls from it.
