limerent reactions

Clarita Lulic‘s series Limerent Reaction, 2008

“Limerence is described as an involuntary cognitive and emotional state in which a person feels an intense romantic desire for another person. Most of us have experienced heartache; it is a form of grieving for the loss of love and the end of a romantic relationship. Usually in time we heal emotionally and are able to form new relationships, however a ‘Limerent reaction’ within a romantic relationship can lead to inappropriate perseverance and broken-heartedness.
