For a long time, I thought my limerence was purely emotional.
I thought it was about him.
About attachment.
About something I needed to “figure out” mentally.
But the more I went through it—the overthinking, the constant urge to check my phone, the emotional highs and crashes—I started to notice something I couldn’t ignore:
I felt so much worse when I wasn’t taking care of my body.
Not slightly worse.
Noticeably worse.
The Days It Felt Impossible
There were days where:
- I hadn’t eaten properly
- I’d had too much caffeine
- I skipped my supplements
- I barely slept
And those were always the days where:
- I couldn’t stop thinking about him
- I kept checking my phone
- My emotions felt intense and overwhelming
- No contact felt impossible
At the time, I thought it meant I was “failing” at healing.
But now I see it differently.
My body wasn’t supported—so my mind didn’t feel safe.
Limerence Isn’t Just Emotional — It’s Physical Too
This was a huge shift for me.
Because when your body is stressed, your cortisol is higher.
And when your cortisol is high, everything feels more urgent.
You:
- crave reassurance
- struggle with emotional regulation
- feel stuck in loops
It’s not just “in your head.”
Your nervous system is literally trying to cope.
And if you don’t support your body, you’re trying to heal on hard mode.
What Started Helping Me (More Than I Expected)
I didn’t overhaul my life overnight.
I just started doing small things consistently:
- Eating proper meals (even when I didn’t feel like it)
- Reducing caffeine when I was already anxious
- Taking supplements that support stress and calm
- Creating little daily rituals that made my body feel safe
And slowly, something shifted.
Not perfectly.
But noticeably.
I didn’t feel as reactive.
The urge to check my phone softened.
No contact didn’t feel as impossible.
The Supplements That Actually Supported Me
I want to be really clear—these aren’t “fixes.”
But they supported my body while I was doing the deeper work (which matters so much).
These are the ones I personally keep coming back to:
🌿 Adaptogens (for stress support)
These helped me feel more balanced during emotional spikes:

It’s Not About Perfection — It’s About Support
I still have days where I feel triggered.
But now I understand something I didn’t before:
If I’m tired, undernourished, overwhelmed, and running on stress…
of course everything feels harder.
Healing isn’t just mindset.
It’s environment.
It’s routine.
It’s how safe your body feels.
If You’re Struggling With Limerence Right Now
You’re not weak.
You’re not failing.
You might just be trying to do emotional work
without giving your body what it needs to support you.
Start small:
- eat something nourishing
- drink water
- take something that helps your body regulate
- give yourself a moment to breathe
Then come back to the deeper work.
This Is Exactly Why I Created My Tools
Because I realised healing needs both:
👉 emotional support
👉 and nervous system regulation
My no contact workbook and REE app are designed to help you:
- break emotional loops
- reduce overwhelm
- regulate your thoughts and patterns
- and finally feel like you’re back in control
You don’t have to give another day to something that’s draining you.
But you also don’t have to fight it alone—or only in your mind.
Support your body.
Support your healing.
Everything becomes easier from there.
