... us limerents aren’t very good at staying on topic and sure we can all talk for hours (anonymously of course, damn introversion!!) 😃 Haha, yes! Congratulations on holding on to the NC. You are a good person, it seems to be a common characteristic of the LS, who want to help and/or protect and/or...

@Spadge100, I’ve just read some of your previous messages. What you went through is an ideal cocktail to trigger “something” that can easily look like a manic episode. I started reading the book you mentioned: “the chimp paradox”. Very interesting! (I’ve only finished the first chapter, for now). It...

Aysheal, teenage is exactly what it is. Me and my LO used to joke we are like two teenagers. Thank you for sharing your experience too Spadge100, I felt like I was a weirdo before knowing this forum. I also got a diagnosis of bipolar. I guess it’s because I can’t tolerate antidepressants, they can ...

Marko, I feel like my LE is high school like too! I know it's more complicated... You and Yesnomaybeso overcame limerence and this is really something! When you write that you make for a bad husband, I think you may be hard with yourself. People who have bad self-esteem suffer from a cognitive bias:...

I listened to the podcast yesterday. There's so much love in Dr Eger’s voice and words!
I felt soothed listening to her. It’s a great podcast.

Thanks for this interesting post. I realize that my previous limerence experiences were very different also because I was extremely busy (they didn’t last long). I didn’t have much time to think about my LO. Yet, this kind of life is not ideal because I found myself in burnout! This limerence experi...

This is inspiring and so true! I love Brené Brown’s podcasts, I will listen to this one, thank you so much!

I really think a person needs to comes to grips with what it is that haunts us. I'm old, but I doubt I could ever have a real relationship. It's so engrained to fill my need that I can't imagine doing things any other way. Hi @Marko, I‘ve just read some of your previous posts. I can relate to some ...

Hi Yesnomaybeso, I stopped dating in real life (for now) because it was too difficult for me. We are all different and I can only speak from my own experience: waiting for a message was horrible because I was worried he didn’t text me because he wasn’t interested in me. I realized that when I wasn’t...

Thanks for these tips Broken580. It’s interesting to learn how to manage our thoughts about L/LO and your way of thinking is definitely helpful and logical. I didn’t know what erotomania is. Woah! I hope there’s no connection with L! I mean, I’m very respectful of my LO (he doesn't even know I exist...
