Read More »A desire to protect and care for someone you love is natural, but what happens when your feelings become an obsession? Share on Pinterest Lucas Ottone/Stocksy United Loving someone generally means you want the best for them. You want them to be happy and successful, and to live a joyful existence. With obsessive love disorder, the desire to see your loved one thrive turns into something else — a fixation on protecting them, or even controlling them. That sense of love turns into an obsession, and sometimes you start to view the person you love as more of an object you possess than an independent human being. While obsessive love disorder isn’t an official diagnosis, what you’re experiencing is real and has the potential to impact your relationships. Symptoms of obsessive love disorder “Obsessive love disorder explains a condition when someone gets extensively attached to another person with whom they are in love,” explains psychiatrist Amelia Alvin from the Mango Clinic, Florida. She notes, “In obsessive love disorder, people take their protective nature to lengths and start controlling the person they love. It can cause dysfunctional relationships. It is not classified as a mental or physical disorder but is just a state. Obsessive love disorder has symptoms like any other human behavior.” These symptoms can include: possessive thoughts

Attachment disorders “People with an insecure or active style of attachment may feel frustrated for fear of losing a loved one,” says Dunn. Living with an attachment disorder such as disinhibited social engagement disorder (DSED) or reactive attachment disorder (RAD) may cause you to feel unable to cope without a relationship. You may feel willing to do whatever it takes to keep your partner on your side. “Because of the ongoing fear of loss, unprotected attachments often keep people attached to abusive relationships,” Dunn points out. “In some cases, it may result in someone’s abusive behavior trying to maintain a relationship.” Erotomania and delusional disorders Obsessive love disorder behaviors may go hand-in-hand with erotomania, a mental health condition in which you experience delusional beliefs of being loved by another person. In most cases, the subject of your fixation is from a higher social standing, such as a celebrity or well-known social media personality. Other mental health conditions, such as schizophrenia, may present with symptoms of delusion. Because there are no rules when it comes to altered reality, those symptoms might be targeted toward your relationships. BPD The way BPD relates to obsessive love disorder has to do with the effect mood shifts may have on your feelings toward a relationship. With BPD, you may feel extremely happy one moment and extremely disgusted the next, and those feelings may be directed toward someone you love. PTSD “People who have endured great trauma sometimes have a tendency to overreact,” Dunn states. “For example, after losing a loved one in a car accident, someone may live in fear of losing his or her current partner.” “As a result, these worries can promote unhealthy habits such as texting every time when their loved one’s traveling or in the vehicle,” she adds. PTSD doesn’t have to be present for someone with a history of trauma to experience obsessive love disorder, however. Sometimes, the fear of abandonment that past experiences cause is enough to create signs of obsessive love disorder.

Read More »“The only link between narcissism and obsessive love disorder is the ‘obsession,’” indicates Alvin. “Both conditions share the same level of love, praise, obsession, and [intensity]. The difference lies in the subject emotions are concerned towards.” Experiencing obsessive love disorder means someone else is the target of your intense feelings of protectiveness and possession. Your fixation is on the other person. With narcissism, your focus is on yourself. You may crave praise from others, seek validation, or have an inflated sense of ego. If you live with narcissistic tendencies, you may be drawn to someone with traits of obsessive love disorder because they provide consistent attention. Treatments for obsessive love disorder The treatment plan that works best for you will depend on many factors, including underlying mental health conditions. If you feel your thoughts toward a loved one are taking over your daily life, or if someone has expressed extreme concern with your affection, a mental health professional can help. Talk to a mental health professional about the best treatment for your unique situation. They might suggest one or more of the following: psychotherapy, such as talk therapy and behavioral therapy
