Thanks, Cath.

Limerence really can be a life-shaking experience, eh? Sometimes it’s good to go back to the fundamentals and analyse life from the bottom up… but it’s rough to go through.

Good luck!

In reply to Hope. Honestly Dr L, there isn’t anything you write that doesn’t explain my current experiences exactly. This whole LE has forced me into a position where I feel like I don’t even know myself anymore. I’ve analysed over and over every aspect of my life and all my past decisions. I feel lost. Lost in my role in my own family, wondering if my relationship with SO has changed and that’s what led me into LE. I feel lost at work and totally indecisive about my future in Midwifery which is the only career I’ve ever wanted or trained for. And just lost in myself as a person, as I’ve done things I never thought possible for me, shocked myself to the core. It’s made me question everything about myself and my life and my future. I will give this a watch and take everything I can from it. Thank you

Very good, DrL. I am on the cusp of a major life change, so this is very helpful in designing the next phase and having a purposeful life. Action may not produce exactly what I would like, but it is better than drifting as I am prone to do — a daydeamer 🙂

A solid direction would also help being able to move on when there’s a situation that will not change — that’s what I struggle with the most. I struggle with — not that it didn’t work out — but that it happened at all and disrupted my life so much! I guess I don’t like being vulnerable to someone else like that. Keep up the good work!
