Stabilizing negative feelings

Being in love is enough to make most people ecstatic. It can also aid persons suffering from depression and certain neuroses to regulate their thoughts.
This is due to some factors. First, as previously stated, being in love makes you feel validated, which might benefit someone who suffers from thoughts of self-doubt. Second, increasing dopamine and other happy chemicals in the brain can help counterbalance negative messages.
Finally, being in a relationship brings structure to your life. If circumstances were previously hectic, this routine sensation can help you feel more stable.
