i really wish this didn’t feel so embarrassing and hard for many people to understand. it feels impossible for people close to me to comprehend and it’s not like i’m going through a breakup or grieving the death of a loved one. those are situations that people can easily empathize with and properly validate. this, on the other hand makes me feel like a freak and no one would actually feel bad. i don’t think they could fully grasp why it’s so painful for me.

the monotropism from autism/ADHD combined with the intrusive thoughts from OCD. literally a recipe for disaster.

I see people in here making broad generalizations about limerence like what can trigger limerence or why we have limerence or what can cure limerence and i just want to remind people that this is not one size fits all. some things that people say in here come from no source other than their own personal life experience. you aren’t beyond saving if something is not working for you. that one thing you did one time will not actually set you back centuries. limerence hasn’t been researched enough & we are going off limited resources.

its just so hard to want to do anything, i can barely handle part time work. i was doing quite well for a bit but then reality of the situation hit again and now im just very depressed. even experiences that should be enjoyable my mood will slightly brighten but not as much as it would before. i could barely focus on the movie i saw the other day. i can barely push myself to workout or do things that would be otherwise healthy for me but i also have ocd which impacts those things. i want my old self back. i just want this person or i just want to get an ick from this person that would get me over them.
