The term Emotional Rollercoaster was coined by Dr. N. Amundson in dealing with unemployment, first in a research article: Amundson, N.E., & Borgen, W. (1982). The dynamics of unemployment: Job loss and job search. Personnel and Guidance Journal, 60, 562-564. It was most likely made popular when Nelson Canada published their booklet At the Controls:Charting your course through unemployment in 1987. Approximately 960,000 copies of this book were bought by the Gov't of Canada and distributed to people dealing with unemployment between 1987 and 1996.
"Shock! Relief! Sadness! Excitement! Frustration! Lack of energy! Hopelessness! Determination! People feel many different emotions when they are out of work. these feelings may be a bit different from one person to another depending on how you lost your job, how long you have been out of work, your future possibilities, and whether you can provide for your family or others who depend on you.
However, many of the unemployed people we talked with described similar patterns of emotions. They described these feelings as an "emotional rollercoaster" that kept them off balance… " (Amundson and Borgen, At the Controls, 1987)

We couldn't be friends after the relationship was over beccause she was an emotional bellhop.
A person who is interested in emotional attachment and romance but who does not commit to one nest for too long. They fully invest themselves whilst they are in this state of emotional high, but they do not sustain due to a need to move on and build other relationships. Some would define emotional gypsies as sluts or players but this is not the case. They are not interested in solely the physical aspect of sex but they are interested in the relationship, attachment as well as the physical benefits.
"I am so done with relationships and break ups! I have decided to become an emotional gypsy, travelling from one attachment to the other without the fear of a catastrophical break up."
