I’m so sad this blog is done with, finished… I found so much consolation on it. It’s been my companion for almost ten months since I found it. Thanks for your kindness.
The content of this blog , is it going to be deleted???

Good luck in your new journey.

Hi Limerence Survivor.

Great to hear that the course has helped, and most importantly that you have hope. Recovery can be a hard grind while you painstakingly reverse the habits of mind that led you into trouble in the first place.

What’s the biggest difficulty you face now?

I have struggled with limerence for one person for over two years now. I took your emergency deprogramming course in March 2022, and it was the thing I needed to truly commit to my healing. I am by no means fully recovered or over this person. The intrusive thoughts are brutal. However, I’m making progress, and I’m using this limerent experience to fuel my growth and transformation. Without the course, I’m not sure I’d be where I am. I have hope. I choose myself and my healing each day. Thanks for the work you do.

I just stumbled upon this entire thing. I had no idea there was an actual name for what I was felling, or that there were other people who had the same issues I have. I am so sad that I found this and now it’s closed. I thought I had found an outlet for my feelings for my LO. I will read everything I can, however, hoping to get over these feelings.

Will there be another forum set up by someone?

In reply to Dr L. Yes!!! A purposeful living course would be incredibly valuable. One insidious thing I am struggling with is this thought that if I lived more purposefully, maybe I would be more attractive to my LO, and it would finally work out. And around and around the cycle goes...

In reply to Dr L. I understand that. Adding to the credibility argument, I think it will be great for someone who is a neuroscientist to publicly weigh in on this important topic. Almost all of us here can describe the puzzled, clueless looks on the faces of many a therapist who were confronted with the term "limerence."

Dr L, I have been a long-time background lurker but avid reader of your blog for years. I am a psychologist and understand as well as accept the science behind limerence yet I’m exasperated with my own serial limerence. In fact my current episode has lasted a decade now; it must be a record. I just can’t figure a way out of the fantasy world I’ve built for myself despite acknowledging the objective reasons behind limerence and attempting to live purposefully. Perhaps I just like to remain perpetually anxious yet excited. It isn’t a fun place to be. Anyway I wanted to reach out and say that if there is anything I can offer you and your blog from a personal or professional perspective, let me know… from one Dr to another
