You

Share definition
A Neurochemical process that occurs when you are in love. Your body is releasing adrenaline, dopamine and serotonin.

Once you've fallen for someone, your body naturally speeds up its processing of these feel-good hormones, which creates a chemical intensity that is often described as "love." It's not long before our bodies become addicted to the euphoric feelings of love triggered by that special someone.
Contrary to You, separation can create
feelings of sadness to downright agony depending on the relationship and the amount of time you've been apart. Naturally, missing your loved one is a totally normal reaction to being separated from them. Whether you're apart for weeks, or even a matter of just hours and days. Pining after someone who isn't physically with you can give a sad-like feeling. So it's not suprising the chemical reactions your brain may experience when you miss your partner.

Love

Share definition
Although almost noone can agree on a single definition of love, most agree that it plays a significant role on their psychological well-being (Te Taha Hinengaro) and our Te Whare Tapa Whā.

Love is not an emotion nor a feeling, but a chemical reaction driven by extreme feelings of respect, euphoric attraction and willingness to put another's happiness and well-being above your own.

Love and lust have very similar characteristics, but unlike lust, love is long lasting.
Other definitions are mostlikely emotionally charged and bear no logical or rational reasoning. They have no correlation to the bigger picture; that is: love for family members or even pets, but are purely directed at one's partner.

However with your partner love can in some cases give you a lust-like feeling after years of being in a close relationship.

Love is so nebulous to many, even the famous band 'Foreigner' wrote a song titled "I want to know what love is".

MSP

Share definition
Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSP) -- or Munchausen by proxy -- is a psychological disorder marked by attention-seeking behavior by a caregiver through those who are in their care. ... The person with MSP gains attention by seeking medical help for exaggerated or made-up symptoms of a child in his or her care.
The person with MSP does not seem to be motivated by a desire for any type of material gain. While health care providers are often unable to identify the specific cause of the child's illness, they may not suspect the mother or caregiver of doing anything to harm the child. In fact the caregiver often appears to be very loving and caring and extremely distraught over her/his child's illness.

Desolation

Share definition
A feeling of chronic emptiness and loneliness. Abandonment of ourselves, and not listening to our own hopes and desires.

You might abandon yourself unintentionally or unknowingly because you’re striving for perfection or others’ approval. You might stop caring for yourself while focusing on other things you think are paramount to you. Abandoning ourselves can spark anxiety, depression, guilt and shame.

You may displace the feeling of sadness with emptiness. This kind of empty feeling comes with not caring about much, not being interested in things, not feeling fueled by anything in particular.

If this emptiness is because of a loved one’s passing, don’t get angry with yourself for grieving years later. Because it is agonizing to lose a loved one, and though the loss changes shape over time, it never becomes OKAY that the person died… In that case you learn to live life alongside that hole of missing that person.

Sometimes, the hole forms because you missed out on love while you were growing up. This doesn’t mean you didn’t have a loving family. There are just certain kinds of love .
Tell yourself positive things.

Dont focus on failures.

Try not to minimize what you're feeling.

Avoid behaviours or addictions that you think avoid your feelings.

Don't blame yourself or feel guilt about things that are out of your control.

Show yourself compassion like you would with a close friend or family member.

Commend yourself.

Desolation will pass...
