• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone else struggles with limerance.
Have studied it briefly and know that it is linked to trauma and childhood neglect.
How have you overcome it and how do you walk in purity towards others?
Thanks!
Can you define ? Did you spell it wrong?
Thanks!

I am wondering if, in your travels, you have discovered the "Crappy Childhood Fairy" channel on YouTube? The CCF (Anna Runkle) has posted a number of videos on the subject of limerence, and working to overcome it. (If you go to her channel, and search for "Limerence", you will find them.)

I think just learning about limerence is a big 'first step' towards overcoming it.

On a more spiritual level, staying close to the Lord (prayer) ... and His Word (Bible) ... and understanding our identity in Christ ... all help very much in overcoming limerence. We find the love we are looking for in God.

For those that are wondering...

"Limerence means having an intense longing for another person even when they don't fully reciprocate. The limerent person struggles to think about anything else but their “crush” and neglects their social life, work, and other responsibilities as a result."
