Video states the elements of limerence perfectly.
I was very interested in lim. when I was actively engaged with my l.o. It's been 18 months since I ended contact with him and although I still have all of the symptoms I no longer use limerence as the term to describe my obsession.
I've been in therapy for just over a year and don't feel very different.
My only hope has been that time will pass and eventually I'll let go of my obsession. I don't expect to understand what's happened to me. I don't anticipate that there will be a revelation. The only concrete hope I have is that he will die so that I can reasonably give up that he and I will come together amicably, which is close to impossible, but more importantly to me is that I can give up hoping for an explanation from him regarding his ambiguous behavior towards me when we were in contact.
