Anna Karenina syndrome, the love that destroys. Have you lived it?

Although Anna Karenina's syndrome is not described in any psychiatry manual, it usually falls under the so-called "compulsive-affective disorders" , where the exaltation of feelings usually derives sometimes, in a type of obsession in which one's life can become incapacitated, where we do not see the limits and where it is very possible to lead to a depression.

Thus, the syndrome of Anna Karerina is an expression of popular psychology that is used very frequently to talk about those relationships that, despite living with great intensity, with great passion, never end up going well.Moreover, it is very possible that let's get hurt almost for a lifetime.

Anna Karenina syndrome, when your love is dangerous to my health

Remember that character created by Leon Tolstoy in the 19th century.Our lady, besides being married and having a good situation within Russian society of this time, represented the most classic values of the educated woman but given to appearances, to the norms, to what was expected of a woman of her position, married and with a child.

However, everything changes when you meet Count Vronsky. The passion that both live breaks their molds, their breaths, their daily lives and even their values.Suddenly, their whole life revolves around that love that, in some way, is also condemned to have an end.Anna leaves everything for him, becomes that objective of criticism by the whole society that surrounds her, she is a victim in every way.

Until the final fall comes and Anna Karenina finds no other answer to her life than that of suicide. A mythical scene in the history of literature and that is difficult to forget.

Now, going back to the Anna Karenina syndrome today.How can any of our relationships describe this disorder? Let's see it.

Anna Karenina syndrome, the love that destroys. Have you lived it?

These are relationships full of such intense passion, which is very comparable to a type of addiction, where there are no middle terms .an "all or nothing".

These relationships fill all our thoughts, to the point that it is difficult for us to live a normal life.We set aside friendships and even family members , our universe has a unique point around which to turn: that passionate love but, in essence, blind .

The curious thing about these relationships is that They do not give a real happiness.There is always anguish, suffering… Fear of thinking that we can be abandoned , that the other person stops loving us, that he deceives us.We look for evidence of his love every day and it seems that we never feel satisfied.

The syndrome d e Anna Karenina is characterized by phrases like "without you I am nothing" or "my life without you makes no sense." These are very dangerous expressions that make us lose our self-esteem, personal balance and even our values.

There is a kind of "personal emptying." We are empty of the "I", the one that describes everything we are, to fill it only with aspects of the other person.A blind obsession that, sometimes, when the rupture occurs leaves us completely "hollow", with a wound that takes a long time to heal.

Anna Karenina syndrome, the love that destroys. Have you lived it?

In conclusion, we could clearly speak of toxic loves that can easily make us fall into many psychological problems, with depression being one of them Yes, it is important that remember something: you should never fall in love «blindly», love with your eyes wide open and in a mature way.

We know that passionate love is possibly the most intense thing that human beings can experience., never lose your identity, take care of your values and your "emotional health".

Before being a couple it is important that we learn to enjoy our individuality , to be happy with what we are.If you focus your whole being on another person and in the end this relationship does not go well, you will be «dismantled».

Love with balance, maturity and conscious way .That is the real happiness, the love that does not harm, that enriches each other.
