Yes, I am aware that the instant you lay eyes on the one you love, flowers bloom and the sun shines brighter than it ever has before. I should know since I have not only been there once, but several times. In most cases, the symptoms of mental illness manifest themselves in such a way that you seem normal to everyone else. You are aware of the appropriate things to say and do. As soon as you get a look at the person you have a crush on, though, that's it. Your batteries start to run out of juice, and you swiftly transform into a slack-jawed shell of the intelligent person you used to be, with itself.

Aren't we all hoping to find our true love? After all, this is meant to be the most amazing thing that life has to offer, right? You feel at one with your significant other, as if you are whole, and you experience the thrill of loving bliss; all of this occurs without putting your health or well-being in jeopardy.
