i am having a hard time coping with a person i have become obsessed with since 2006, i do not want to have this special interest and it is now affecting my life as a result.i do not really know what to do as i do not want to see psycotherapist other special interests are not so much of a problem as i can hide them or people in general have had the same sort of interests im not dangerous and im not delusional into thinking he wants me but ihave now got to the stage where i got a boyfriend on the basis he looked like subject person,i have realised this was wrong for the man involved and myself so ended the relationship but am still stuck at the same area that no one will ever compare to subject person who i know i can never have and im having real trouble moving on

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps.

I know that it might seem like you need to explain that you're not delusional or dangerous. A brave thing to say. But you have to believe it too. You're dealing with physiological issues of the brain. Chemical "imbalances" and neurons misfiring or whatever. That's where psychotherapy and even meds can help you. Today's meds can seriously reduce that obsessive-thinking without changing your personality. They can give you the ability to "reclaim your brain".
I'm proud of you that you're monitoring your behavior and staying away from your "subject person". That's the right move, but take it from me, you'll be running for the rest of your life if you don't get the help, that helping hand up, that you need.

Meds are not as bad as you might imagine, and they can be a great help. Just get off of any that cause you bad side effects...immediately!
Volunteer work or the development of a new "passion" (interest in anything--a book, a cause, a group, a project, something intensely interesting) can also be a help in forgetting someone.
