I said this on another post...
I'm re-posting it too give you some insight into the fact that it's a sickness and an addiction...

I just want to point out something, call it a little food for thought.
If you can’t control your emotions then you are probably addicted to them. I make that statement because while many may think that a statement like this is not true I beg too differ.
So let’s get down to the science of it…
A drug addict is hooked on a chemical and the euphoric feeling that comes with it. Over time they body becomes immune to the affects and needs more and more of it. So why does this happen?
The answer to that is not simple to say the least, but it is explainable. You see the surfaces of our cells are not smooth by any means and they are in fact covered with (for lack of a better way to describe it) keyways know as receptors. The keyways allow the chemical or drug to bond with the cell but when bonding it damages that keyway forever. So the next time the chemical enters the body, there are less receptors or keyways for the chemical to affect the cell in the same manner as it did the first time, thrust resulting in the need to obtain more and more.
I know that you’re thinking at this point…
What the hell is Losingfaith getting at here and how does this have any bearing on this situation. Well give me a sec and I’ll get to that.
Ok so when we feel an emotion what triggers it?
Again, the answer to that is not simple, but just like before it is explainable. See inside our brains their is something called the hypothalamus, and inside it the brain assembles tiny strings of amino acids called peptides. These peptides are in affect chemicals strung together and just like other chemicals (ie. drugs) over time the bodies will need more and more of them to satisfy its cravings.
The point that I’m getting at here is I hope that this feeling of jealously, anger, control, and so forth and so on
you say you repeatedly experience is more then likely something you are perpetuating (unconsciously mind you) simply to suite the cravings that your body is telling your brain it must provide it with.
