And just for the record… My grandma actually coined the term of limerence as far back as I can remember (early ‘70’s), because she had it, but she called it something in Yiddish that meant ‘unrequited obsessive sickness’.  Actually, she had both limerence and ROCD, others in my family too, and so do I  .
You mentioned you have BPD, and I have traits, emotional issues, probably OCD.
Limerence And ROCD: Signs, Causes, Treatment |
Could be more Rocd than limerence....few weeks ago ROCD videos started appearing on my youtube timeline and i watched one. I feel like what the woman said in the video, is similar to my situation. I constantly ask myself "do i love him? is this really love?" and based on my research, this is common with R OCD.
I have a few ocd tendencies that i recognize in myself, for example, sometimes I think that a song will bring me bad luck and if i skip over it i am safe. Other things i think will bring me bad luck and i do an action to preven that from happening.
