If you long for someone who is out of reach, then you know this feeling. Your thoughts circle around them endlessly, day and night, and you can't stop them. Your heart rides a roller coaster between euphoria and despair. You feel over the moon and heartbroken at the same time.

And no one truly understands how deep your longing is.

In most books about limerence, this is the moment where you would read that something is wrong with you.
That you feel too much, that you’re too dependent, or that you cling too hard.
Limerence is described there as a compulsive disorder: a one-sided, obsessive form of love that you must overcome in order to be “normal” again.

But this book takes a different path.
Here, you won’t be analyzed. Here, you will be understood.

This book looks deeply into limerence, because limerence is far more than a state of “obsessive infatuation.”
It’s not a defect. It’s an unconscious wake-up call, an inner movement asking you to look closer: at your longing, your story, and the parts of yourself you haven’t allowed to live yet.

It’s time to update the old definition of limerence.
It’s time to bring this psychological phenomenon out of the shadows to better understand it.

I take you with me step by step because I know exactly how it feels. I’ve lived with limerence for over 30 years. I’ve lost myself in fantasies, nurtured daydreams, and tied my happiness to someone who, in real life, remained unreachable. Between hope and heartbreak, I almost lost myself. This tormenting “What if…?” wouldn’t let me go. But eventually, the moment came when I couldn’t go on like that. Only when I began to explore limerence did it stop swallowing me and started to show me something more: myself.

In this book, I share my journey and my personal story with you. And I show you what I’ve discovered about limerence: where it comes from, why it captures us so strongly, and how you can find your way back to yourself and to what you really want.

This book is both understanding and an embrace.
It bridges science and emotion, psychology and lived experience.
It’s for you if you often feel invisible, if you feel like your life exists mostly in your imagination, and you finally want to understand why.

Here, it’s not about getting rid of your longing, but about learning to read it, like a language only you speak.

This book is for you if you fell in love with a celebrity, musician, or someone unreachable.
If you often feel unseen and believe that you’re only truly alive in your imagination.
Here, you will be understood. Here, you will learn that you’re not alone.
