Here Are 5 Ways To Judge Whether You're Lovesick Or Not Based On This "Euphoria" Inspired List

Identify the signs of being lovesick.

1. You don't feel like you're good enough and you're comparing yourself to others.

While feeling self-conscious is a struggle that we all face in everyday life, being lovesick can often amplify these feelings by making you question your worth or even comparing yourself to others around you. This happens because our projection becomes skewed with what we visualize our love interest feels about us during a time of distance.

2. Their attention fuels your happiness.

A common sign of lovesickness can be when your mood fluctuates based on the amount of attention your love interest gives to you. It could be as simple as a text message or an invite to hang out, and those moments regardless of how little they happen, can make you feel a sense of joy and relief and temporarily reduce the feelings of loneliness and heartbreak.

3. You're in denial about your situationship.

You’ve changed your appearance or lifestyle to fit their wants and desires. This may include (but is not limited to) changing your makeup, hair, waking up early or participating in activities that they enjoy just to get their attention.

5. The constant rumination of thoughts interrupting your daily routine.

While being lovesick is is not an actual illness, you might begin to feel ill both physically and mentally. This can be in the form of fatigue, loss of appetite and even loss of motivation. This is because the thought of your love interest has taken up a large amount of space and emotion in your mind, and prioritizing everyday activities becomes secondary.

If you found yourself saying yes to one or more of these signs, you may be lovesick.

While there isn't a fast and straightforward cure, remember that the feelings you are experiencing are valid, and it will get better with time and a little support.

If you're feeling this way, the best way to get yourself out of a funk is to take care of your own needs and participate in activities you love to serve as positive distractions. 

The road to happiness is not one size fits all, but give yourself some credit for recognizing these behaviors and taking the next step in becoming a better and happier version of your fine self.
