Limerence ..... the shame and embarrassment of it

I’ve just gone through this and it wasn’t pleasant.
Please can I ask if anyone else has gone through this?
I’ve only recently been able to put a name to it and am embarrassed to post admitting it. I’m happy to say I’m at the tail end but I’m married, I’m 51 years of age and although I’ve had silly ‘crushes’ occasionally I thought I’d done with it all, if I’m honest.
Please don’t judge, I’m pretty normal and boring but would love to know if any others have any stories to tell, thanks ?

I've called him worse, all of it deserved, but well...
Some people you have to love from afar.

Tony i thik it is very insulting to imply its a mental helth problem, its nothing of the sort,

but it is obsessional behaviour - apparently.
and what Chewbacca said

Well i am leaving this conversation now, as it seems people cannot or do not want to understand it,
aAnd if you have not been through it will never know how much people dont want it
You dont even have to think any particular thoughts, it is just there in the back of your mind
It is not unrequited love either
