You know that feeling when you're just starting off in a relationship? Your brain is flooded with all those happy possibilities. You smile every time you get a call or a text from your person. You get a little anxious knot in your tummy if they take too long to respond. You start to obsess about them; every free thought has them in the starring role. You call it love. But did you know, especially if you're neurodivergent, it's incredibly easy to mistake obsession with love. Limerence is that feeling of complete obsession over that one person. I've done it too; I've convinced myself that I was in love with someone because they gave me sweet hits of dopamine every time they responded to a text, or laughed at a joke. I've found myself awash in that lovin' feeling, only to get gut-punched when I found out that they never felt the same. Love should make you feel secure. Limerence makes you feel unsettled. Let's figure it out together, because you deserve love.
