Thank you so much for this. Your explanation of obsession/limerence really hit home for me. It feels like a breath of fresh air because it describes my situation perfectly, and lets me know I'm not weird/unusual like I think I am. I haven't been able to focus on any of my actual issues because I am so distracted by this obsession. I'm going to read up on that some more.
