writes:Is anyone familiar with "love addiction"? Like the need for attention/love/affection? As if it's a drug. Dr Drew (the celebrity therapist) was talking about it as a form of sex addiction. But just because you crave love doesn't mean you crave sex. I think I'm suffering from this and need help. I have a boyfriend but always find the need to have outside male attention and then get seriously hurt when either ends. It's like withdrawal. Can anyone recommend a NYC therapist who specializes in this kind of intimacy disorder ? Anyone relate to me?

Yep this kind of thing is called being "needy." Or some lesser versions are known as being "a girl."
I know I'm stereotyping you because you're American and you think you need therapy for something that is just part of every day life... but COME ON!!!
You obviously have slightly low confidence and so you need a man to validate you by being attracted to you. You haven't figured out yet that you just need to look in the mirror and LIKE the person you see there, and then this will stop.
If you don't like yourself as a person then figure out what you don't like about yourself and change in the way you need to.
Good Luck!! xx
