Obessive Relationships.

chloeoliverarnie15

Hello. 

I just need some advice with a problem I'm experiencing.

So a part of my Autism is obessive relationships - basically a relationship which I get completely and utterly imersed in and cannot seem to leave. I have been thinking of this person continulously and no matter how much distraction I try and use, they never leave my mind - sometimes I feel like the only way to get rid of it is to see them - but that would require seeing them most days and that's not realistic. I get high emotions when thinking of this person and it can sometimes become very distressing. No amount of distraction seems to help me. 

So I would really appreciate any advice that anyone has in terms of coping with this. Please feel free to share your own experiences as well. 

Thanks very much.

  • I have been in similar situations many times. For me the only solution is to find another obsession! Going to the gym or on a diet, or finding a new hobby helps.

    Also recomend Chris Mitchell's books about Aspergers and mindfulness and Buddhism. It makes a lot of sense to me, and have started meditating in an effort to calm my obsessive thoughts. A challenge!
