hi. it's been a year since I broke up with my ex who cheated on me. It was a quick breakup and I really thought I was gonna get over it fast because I was too focused on my thesis. I did cry though. a lot. Anyway, a month after graduating, I found out that he dated the person he cheated on me with. I did not take it so well. Much more on the next month when I saw them together at the city. I developed social anxiety pretty much the whole time I was working my first job. The second job I had was pretty much laidback cause it was a night shift, but the limerence was godawful. I would stop what I'm doing because of a flashback. There were moments that I could not enjoy going out because of a fear that I'd stumble on them again like what happened last time. I was distacted for a short amount of time, up until I stalked them again last June ( I stopped stalking last December 2023) and found out that they are still dating. Now the whole anxiety fiasco came back. I had so much questions as to why their relationship lasted that long. I felt hurt.

It has been a year and one month since the breakup but I feel like I'm still in limerence for my ex by what I see on social media (as per my stalking of the other person). Now I'm taking medication. I wanna know if escitalophram really does help with keeping obsessive thoughts low, or does it really help cure limerence? also to everyone who has used it before, what side effects did you notice?
