I CANT do this absolute fucking bullshit anymore. I hate it so fucking much so so so so so so much. I cant do this anymore there's nothing I can do to express my anger and pain. not even cutting myself. EVERYONE is completely fucking fine without me. THEY CAN GO THROUGH THEIR DAY WITHOUT EVEN THINKING OR MISSING ME. It's not fair. Why am I so attached but not them??? My fp can go forever without fucking talking to me. She dosent want to talk to me right now? Great shes not going to text me at all ever FUCKING AGAIN?? Im hurting so badly. This is the corniest thread I've ever posted but this is the only way I can show how disappointed and angry I am. I beg, someone help me stop liking her. to stop depending on her. I dont want her to be my favorite person.

it's supposed to hurt. that's the duality of the whole love thing. the only thing in my experience that lifts your head out of the fog of someone being perceived as the only one who'll ever make you feel something is by finding that next person that makes you feel something. until then just try to find stuff to do you know. make reasons to be busy. it hurts the most when there's nothing other than you and your thoughts. don't worry dude. you'll get it through this.

Just came across this video. I'm going through something similar. This perspective is helping me. Especially what he said from 16-19 minutes.

Obvioulsy ignore this if it is too intrusive but, is this a symptom of borderline personality disorder? In which case, is it something you can actually prevent? I'm not sure.

I can relate in so much as I tended to develop limerent crushes on people. So- I imagine the level of obsession and dependence on them may be similar. I was also very emotionally needy towards a best friend.

For me- with my best friend- it became apparent that they were moving towards having their partner as their best friend. Which is understandable. But- that made me realise I really couldn't depend on them. I suppose I began telling myself I would need to make more effort to keep problems to myself and try to emotionally self regulate. Which took quite a while but- I am pretty much ok now.

With limerence- I could see that it was doing far more harm than good. So, I made conscious efforts to stop myself fixating on people.

I feel it's a lot like trying to give up an addiction. We so want that fix of thinking about them, or being happy they've been in touch. But then- we know it just feeds the monster really.

Sometimes, I think it's necessary to throw the good out alongside the bad- if we can't separate the two.

I'm not sure it's really about finding someone new to fixate on. I wonder if anyone can cope with the level of need we have for them. I'm saying 'we' because- I think I am prone to an over attachment style too.

I'm not sure if there is any advice/ self help- on how to appreciate people in a less intense and dependent way. I imagine there must be stuff on YouTube.

I have a plethora of symptoms for BPD—but I am not diagnosed. I suspect I have it, but I dont want to self diagnose, of course.

I sincerely wish I could help you definitively (I'll still try). This is not impossible, because I've read exactly that this can be done and how precisely this is done: how to stop loving a person, lose all feelings and never look back. But I suck at finding words, especially in the forum format.

You need to convince yourself this person is not good fit for you, then it should stop. This is, of course, no easy task, but it is the real destination. What you might read about limerence, etc. is a distraction. You are most likely both good people, but two good people may not necessarily belong together, even if it were reciprocal. Hence the clue is: reach the conclusion that you two absolutely wouldn't belong together, that a relationship would not be good for you even they also pursued it. Don't build an argument about them having flaws, for your judgment of them wouldn't be stable anyway until the love is over at least, and to make it over is to convince yourself that specifically relationship would be to your detriment.

Support yourself through the quest in whatever way you can: remember what you were capable of, even if it was long time ago. Console yourself if need be, prepare that you might sometimes lose self-control and impulsively make effort to contact them - don't let that ruin your morale (although prefer not to engage them still, of course). You're not lesser for having developed love for somebody who doesn't love you back - you are through a difficult quest, most likely alone, which means low opinion some others might potentially have is not legitimate, especially if they don't come to help or only do so in condescending way (by this I don't mean any one from here, but rather those who invented the narrative which frames person's struggles as being their fault, their failure to adjust the way others seemingly do).
