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.

My ENT sent me for more tests last week...one where they had me lie back in a chair, with blacked out goggles on so I couldn't see while they administered water into my ears one at a time ( first warm, then room-tempurature, then cold) while they video taped my eyes and asked me questions to determine how cognizant I was...

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.
