I've been looking at OCD and things about rumination, but I've found something that's more in-line of what the thread wants. I've found Obsessive Love
Forming a definition of “real” love has eluded philosophers for centuries. Likewise, there is no single list of criteria that can distinguish obsessive love from real love.
Love is a potent force. People with feelings of love experience a rush of dopamine and other powerful brain chemicals.
For some people, these feelings are so powerful that they become obsessed with keeping and controlling the person they love. They may appear to worship their partner at times, but become angry or jealous at the slightest threat.
One hallmark of obsessive love is its focus on the partner as an object for “consumption” or ownership, as opposed to an equal. Rather than loving the person and wanting the best for them, people with obsessive tendencies may love the other person because of their own needs. This, in turn, may mean that they show little interest in the other’s well-being.
But why tho? Why are there peeps out here treating my punk purple popper here as an object? Mental health conditions such as bipolar I disorder and schizophrenia, as well as symptoms triggered by alcohol use disorder, may cause delusions of erotomania.
This is not the same thing as obsessive love, but it may be a symptom of a much more serious mental health condition.
Erotomania is a rare delusional disorder that may cause a person to believe that destiny requires a specific relationship. The person may even delude themselves into believing that a relationship that ended long ago is still loving and healthy.
