Limerence
What Is Limerence and How Do You Know If You Have It
Limerence is intense romantic infatuation characterized by obsessive thoughts, idealization, and emotional dependency. Signs include intrusive thinking, euphoria from perceived reciprocation, and obsessive analysis of the other person. Not everyone experiences all signs, but if you relate to many, you may be experiencing limerence.
Every day in here I end up self-diagnosing a new psychological disorder.

Ew, what is this? Is it contagious? Can it be cured?
Lol. It says there is 12 steps program.
But I am imagining script from a doctor saying that! Lol

I no longer suffer from this and I used to be very prone to it. No idea how I overcame it. Maybe I’m just too depressed to be infatuated
At 17?
