Limerence is not fun, even-though the intoxicating feeling of "love" is one part, the anxiety and the horrible lows one experiences emotionally is truly painful.

Early emotional attachment to caregivers is thought to play a role(see Attachment Theory)

Major players: Dopamine and Serotonin

Limerence and ROCD

Love and the Brain
