I can't-- I can't think about anything or anyone else, " he whispered. A hand drifted up, dragging back through his hair. "I can't think straight when you're around. I can't sleep. It feels like I can't breathe-- I just--"" Liam, please, " I begged. "You're tired. You're barely over being sick. Let's just.. Can we just go back to the others?"" I love you." He turned toward me, that agonized expression still on his face. "I love you every second of everyday, and I don't understand why, or how to make it stop--" He looked wild with pain; it pinned me in place, even before what he had said registered in my mind." I know it's wrong; I know it down to my damn bones. And I feel like I'm sick. I'm trying to be a good person, but I can't. I can't do this anymore. . Alexandra Bracken
About This Quote

We all have our own ways to cope with stress, but sometimes these coping mechanisms can become unhealthy. When someone is addicted to the thrill of the chase, they are actually making themselves sick. The term for this is called “dopamine dysregulation disorder” which means that their brain chemistry is out of whack. They are getting a rush from the chase that makes them feel good, but their brain chemistry is being altered by it. This person will continue to pursue this thrill even if it is damaging them mentally and physically.
