Limerance is addiction

I recently posted about missing my LO ( who I have been in nc with for 2 months)and literally craving him when I'm stressed and the community was kind to provide me support to get over it. But a good point came out of all the replies I received on that post.

Limerence is addiction

I just wanted to share it because it makes so much sense the obsessing is like a nicotine craving. It comforts you from reality and real life stressors cause I can escape to it inside my head and form hopeful scenarios. And I know they are only in my head because,for me personally I've only been limerant with people I knew there was nothing. But it's so comforting till it's not.

I also realized that I am not in love with my LO or miss him. I just like the idea to escape to him to not deal with other things.

That's just my realization I wanted to share ,it might not apply to everyone but maybe it might help to give a perspective.
