        For example, when people fall in love, there are four core symptoms: preoccupation, episodes of melancholy, episodes of rapture and instability of mood

        Yeah….i might have limerence. I’m all of this.

        that limerence most commonly lasts between 18 months and three years with an average of two years, but may be as short as mere days or as long as a lifetime
