oh my god i’ve been experiencing the same thing!!! and been feeling like im losing myself and my mind so firstly, THANK YOU. this made me feel less alone. i won’t ever be able to tell mine how i feel about them because they’re in a relationship and there’s too much at stake and i have a similar fear of rejection and inclinations of never doing anything about my very big feelings. but this post is something i will definitely come back to again to remind myself that everything will be ok and that i am in fact …the tree! :)

I’m just coming off of a limerence spell and I found this so relatable! I’ve struggled with this too for a majority of my life and was upset to find myself in it again. But it’s the awareness bit too, so while it happened at least I noticed it before I completely abandoned myself. Thank you for the reminder to continue to the work!

You have nothing to be upset with yourself for but I understand. If abandonment is a common experience it's pretty natural. Sending you the best xoxo

like ohhhh my goddd. reading this felt i was reading my own diary. thank you for sharing this, because i know part of it is so embarrassing to admit that you abandoned yourself in such a way, but you are not alone at all in that. i understand you completely. limerence has been, for me personally, a result of a deep abandonment wound that did indeed start with rejection in my adolescence, and i feel so seen.

I am so sorry you can relate in anyway. I thank you so much for reading because my intention is truly for other people to feel seen. It's so hard to not self abandon ESPECIALLY when you feel alone/isolated in your experiences. Sending love xoxo

thank you thank you thank you for sharing this. i wish i could send it to past versions of myself who felt so alone and thought something was wrong with me because of these thought patterns. similarly, i learned to escape into fantasy and/or abandon myself in reality to survive. it's taken a long time to unlearn that and it's been gut wrenching to recognize the pattern and come to terms with it. wishing you the best on your journey!! may crushes be crushes!
