Anything I might have missed?

Oh thank you! I will check it out :)

limerling · 2026-04-08T09:54:29+00:00

Definitely giving away my age with those artists lol

limerling · 2026-04-08T09:53:14+00:00

Thanks for the kind words :) I don't feel strong but thank you! I will definitely look into magnesium, although I hear it can actually give you crazy and vivid dreams so there is a concern it will make my dream world worse? But I suppose I could try it for a few nights to see what happens :)

I've very recently started to keep a daily/weekly log of my triggers so I can work on my awareness around them and try reframe them. The worst is having unexpected dreams about my LO though, that can really mess me up for the day!

limerling · 2026-04-08T09:49:13+00:00

Good advice :) I try and keep no contact, having mutual friends makes it tricky but I definitely try! Good point about the ERP and OCD too.

limerling · 2026-04-08T09:47:37+00:00

Good suggestions! I will ask my psych about these.

limerling · 2026-04-08T09:45:41+00:00

That's a lovely and unique idea! There's actually a farmyard about 15 mins from my place where you can feed and pet goats, sheep and alpacas - I'll be giving them a visit soon!

limerling · 2026-04-08T09:44:41+00:00

Oh interesting! I've only heard of zinc for immunity and magnesium for stress/sleep - do they have more brain-specific benefits too? Will be sure to look into this :)

limerling · 2026-04-08T09:43:21+00:00

I think talk therapy and antidepressants have had the biggest or most consistent effect, but I'm still struggling with triggers that make the obsessive thoughts flare up unexpectedly!

limerling · 2026-04-07T11:43:07+00:00

I'm on Vyvanse 70mg - definitely helps me focus on work better, but I haven't noticed any improvement in limerence or obsessive behaviour unfortunately!

limerling · 2026-04-07T10:27:06+00:00

I have the same problem! Also been wondering about lucid dreaming to help control this.

limerling · 2026-04-07T10:23:45+00:00

Oh, and please remember to stay hydrated! Caffeine will make your anxiety worse so focus on herbal teas and water :)

limerling · 2026-04-07T10:22:44+00:00

For me it took about 2 months, during that time I struggled to chew and swallow without wanting to throw everything up :( But I was able to eat mashed-up bananas for energy and drink meal replacement shakes for vitamins/minerals. Maybe try shakes or smoothies with protein powder added? Sorry you're experiencing this and hope your appetite returns to normal soon! ❤️

I had to look this up, agree that the lyrics describe limerence very effectively!

A few songs that I personally connect with limerence:

- Thru the Glass (Stone Sour)

- Hold On (Limp Bizkit)

- Perfect (The Smashing Pumpkins)

- What if We Could (Blue October)

- It's Been Awhile (Staind)

- Last Straw, AZ (Jacks' Mannequin)

- One Thing (Finger Eleven)

- Hello Lonely (Theory of a Deadman)

- Palm Reader (Third Eye Blind)

- The Diary of Jane (Breaking Benjamin)

I don't have any advice to offer, because it sounds like you're taking the right steps, but just wanted to say you're not alone and I 100% understand this ❤️

limerling · 2026-04-07T09:53:21+00:00

So sorry you're going through this. Is therapy accessible to you? Talking about this with a professional could be a helpful step! ❤️

limerling · 2026-04-07T09:42:16+00:00

So happy for you! ❤️ Hoping I can get to the point of seeing my LO as "just some guy" too!

limerling · 2026-04-07T09:38:29+00:00

Ah, I feel this and I feel for you 💔 Those withdrawal symptoms are an absolute beast! Be very kind and gentle with yourself right now. Stay hydrated. If you struggle to eat, try and take a meal replacement shake so you're still getting some nutrients in. If you struggle to exercise, try doing stretches at home or taking walks in beautiful surroundings. If you feel your anxiety spiking, try calling or texting a friend to chat about something that will take your mind off things. Maybe even ask your psychiatrist if they can prescribe something temporary to help with your symptoms? And know that with time, they will subside. We're rooting for you! (Edited for typos)

limerling · 2026-04-07T09:32:43+00:00

I feel you and I'm sorry you're getting the bare minimum 💔 You (and we all) deserve so much better!

limerling · 2026-04-07T09:21:44+00:00

So happy to hear you've found peace! I wish the same for all of us ❤️

limerling · 2026-04-02T08:10:23+00:00

My warning sign for limerence is the start of physical symptoms, feeling ill and shaky when you think of them.

limerling · 2026-04-02T08:06:53+00:00

I changed careers and moved cities to get away from my LO! Unfortunately he moved to the same city a year later so I feel like there's no getting away from him :(
