lovestruck

Head over heels

Lovestruck describes someone so overwhelmed by romantic feelings that they can barely function normally.

The condition suggests a kind of temporary madness or obsession where the affected person thinks constantly about their beloved, often to the neglect of practical matters.

She was so lovestruck she couldn't concentrate on her work.

The word implies a state that is intense but perhaps not entirely rational.
