A few musings on these 2 topics, posted as a blog article
Limerence and OCD might seem to not have much in common, yet they do. As we already know, limerence is defined by obsessive and intrusive thinking about your Limerent Object (LO), in the hope that your feelings are going to be reciprocated by them. Being around your LO makes you feel anxious, your palms sweat and the whole relationship with them feels as you are on a roller coaster. As Dorothy Tennov describes it, it is an unhealthy obsessive state, because you become all-consumed by thinking of your LO and finding a way to keep the connection alive. You can also easily become overwhelmed by a fear of rejection and your moods will shift accordingly to the behaviors of your LO. If they seem to reciprocate the same feelings towards you, even in the smallest amount, your level of happiness will increase. On the other side, if your feelings are rejected by your LO, you can experience anxiety and deep sadness. At the end, limerence is not love; it is an involuntary state of the mind, full of obsessive and compulsive thoughts.

I remember those days all too well. Couldn't even drive home without constant thoughts barreling through my head.

Re: limerence and OCD
Can relate. Pretty sure I'm undiagnosed OCD and my mother certainly is. It's crazy how one subject can get stuck in my mind out of nowhere and be gone as quickly as it came, onto something else. Occasionally it's another person stuck in my head.

Re: limerence and OCD
I also have circling thoughts but I don't think I'm OCD cause I'm way too messy. But anger, sex & humor thoughts will circle in my head for hours
