The Blissful Madness of Love-Drunkenness

Love-drunkenness, or love-drury, is a state of being so enamored with someone that one becomes intoxicated or delirious. The term is often used to describe the early stages of romantic love, when one's feelings are intense and all-consuming.

In this state, one may experience a range of symptoms, including:

* Euphoria: A feeling of intense happiness and excitement.
* Disorientation: A loss of sense of time and place, and a feeling of being lost in one's own emotions.
* Confusion: A difficulty in thinking clearly and making decisions.
* Distraction: A preoccupation with the object of one's love that makes it difficult to focus on anything else.
* Impulsiveness: A tendency to act on impulse and make decisions without considering the consequences.

Love-drunkenness is often depicted as a temporary state, one that passes as the relationship matures and becomes more stable. However, it can also be a sign of a deeper issue, such as codependency or an unhealthy obsession with the other person.
