When we think of addictions, we often just think about the ones related to drugs or alcohol, perhaps even to gambling. But to negativity?

Basically, negative emotions can give the body a rush of the stress hormones, cortisol and adrenaline, which can become addictive, especially when regularly activated.
We read a lot about becoming addicted to dopamine, the pleasure hormone, yet we don’t see much about addictions...
