Not sure about being addicting -- but is it addiction or liberation?
Perhaps the feelings of withdrawal we get from PM breaks may be akin to the feelings of withdrawal or return of symptoms associated with medicated treatment, whether it be for chronic pain, depression, GD, or what-have-you. When the medication stops, the pain often returns.
I imagine there is an element of psychological addiction in regards to the calmness, exhilaration of growth/self-discovery, and inner freedom.
Just a late night pondering.
I'm back on PM to help take the edge off. I did notice the first time I stopped taking PM, I had a depression crash. Then when I stopped HRT, I had a similar but different crash (stopped both times for medical reasons). I decided to go back on when I started to feel the old withdrawn/disconnected me coming back, IMO, it's worth it for the calming and mental benefits.
