It is kinda ruining my life lmao. I have never felt this strongly for anyone. When we talk, I can ride that high for days. But then she gives me (what I perceive as) the cold shoulder and the depression I feel... boy. It's been like this for months. I cannot go on, man.

    Author and psychologist Frank Tallis has made the argument that all love—even normal love—is largely indistinguishable from mental illness

    Fucking based.

    For example, when people fall in love, there are four core symptoms: preoccupation, episodes of melancholy, episodes of rapture and instability of mood

    Yeah….i might have limerence. I’m all of this.

    that limerence most commonly lasts between 18 months and three years with an average of two years, but may be as short as mere days or as long as a lifetime

    I went the three-ish years route, 0 out of 5 stars. I think that Frank Tallis guy wrote a free self help guide I used that was too little too late for me by the time I came across it, but the content was good.
