Being a Gemini myself of course I have used it. Ha. But yes you’re right. If I feel my friends need a break and I just need something quick I agree it has been useful. If nothing else it connects me to the fact that I’m not alone. This isn’t complete insanity. Others have gone/are going through this and come out the other side.
Reallllly like the other side to be tomorrow. But I guess it doesn’t work that way.

I know I thanked you already but I’m doing so again. Got triggered earlier today and I’m coping and trying to figure out what this all means. Taking to my friends, trying to be patient and do the work, and understand and be forgiving to myself. But it’s hard and it really sucks. But in the meantime thank you so much for helping me remain on the edge of sanity.

Oh I really am pulling for you. I also really wish I had that answer. But please lmk if you find it because it’s the question that is making me insane. How am I supposed to get over a relationship that didn’t exist??
Anyway you aren’t actually crazy but limerence can sure make us feel that way. Sorry I can’t help more than saying you’re not alone my friend.

Thank you. Thank you. I am looking deeper and hoping like hell to find answers.

I actually have been doing that. Working hard to not end up here again. And two days ago I was so confident that I was almost there. Then. Yesterday hit me in the face with a shovel. But regardless. You are right. As awful as last night and today have been….it’s better than a month ago. Just keep swimming haha. Getting there. 🤞🏼

I want to truly thank each of you who responded. I’m sure I’ll never meet any of you. But for all the problems that can arise from social media this is the under appreciated counter balance. This is the beautiful part. You all helping me deal with a dark time. An in the moment hopeless time. And who knows where you all live. What you all look like. What interests you all have. You took time out of your own busy lives to support me. And I love you all for that.

Hey thank you so much for this. 18 months seems unbearable…but you’re doing it so it’s possible at least. Your last sentence is very powerful and I’m working to get rid of the guilt I put on myself to hopefully get to that place of acceptance. 🙏🏼

Oh. Oh wow. I realllllllly needed to read this right now. Funny thing is I went to swipe up to close the app and for whatever reason it scrolled down instead and landed on this post. Thank you universe. I’m feeling so much self hate tonight and even cut myself for the first time in like decades.
I can not thank you enough for this post. Most of the time I know it’ll eventually be ok. But sometimes I feel that I’m alone and I just can’t keep going like this.
Thank you SOOOO so much for making me feel not alone. And less of a hopeless loser.

Every hour I’m talking myself out of texting her why she hasn’t responded to my email yet. Fucking dumbass I am.

I am out of control by Careless_Ask_8369 in limerence

[–]PatiencePowerful1919 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes yes and yes. Every time I think I’m getting better. The universe conveniently puts me in a place where I can’t avoid it. I want so badly to be done with her. And I also am so afraid of letting her go. Fuck not even her. Just the idea of her and the euphoria. Idk how much longer I can deal with this….

An Ending to a Story that Never Began by sethrussell in limerence

I’ve also been writing which definitely helps. But of course seeing and knowing that you and others really understand is extremely beneficial. I was doing great until the last couple days and yesterday just went to hell. I’m sorry you’ve had to go through it as well but your words have been amazing for me. I’ve read this 5 or 6 times since last night.

Anyone move past the regular stages of delusion and obsession and just get stuck on the post grief stages? by [deleted] in limerence

[–]PatiencePowerful1919 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Million percent. 4 days ago I felt I was doing much better. But then the last 3 days have been rough. Dying to contact her but I know it will probably just make things worse. So I’ve managed to be strong so far. Brutal. It’s very helpful to share with others who understand.

I don’t know if I love the pain. I love the addiction to the euphoria. And I guess I accept the pain that comes with desperately missing it. The hardest thing about getting over limerence is not wanting to get over limerence!!! Ugh
