I've been reading here on the forum about transference (ET, specifically) though I never experienced it personally with a T.
I have, however, (since diagnoses) experienced euphoric infatuation with co-workers, virtual strangers, and even with a picture on a dating site.  All of a sudden there is a powerfully magical aura of sorts that hits me like a ton o' bricks! I have never acted on it; instead am mortified by it (even though no one knows). It has lasted for MONTHS at a time.
Also, a couple times on a date, I have had brief moments with a man where that feeling overtook me (once while kissing, another while hugging). I recognize it and enjoy it for what it is in my case: Lovesick (accent on "sick.") But W O W--for the time that it's there, it's indescribable--takes your breath away! It's like feeling every scintilla of romantic love you've ever experienced all at once.
I'd been researching it and finally found an article on bp magazine, bphope.com. Stephanie Stephens' "Is this LOVE that I'm Feeling?" where she says social needs of those with MI are at the forefront of the Human Sexuality Committee of the Group for Advancement of Psychiatry. WHAT. A. SYMPTOM. 
Anyone experienced anything like this or believe it may contribute to their ET?
