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've stuggled with exactly the same thig all my life.  Only thing I've found that helps is to distract myself with something - video games work well for me.  Unfortunately I've come to the conclusion that I'm stuck with it.  After seeing it happen again and again, being well aware of it and still being unable to stop it I don't think there's a solution for me at least.  Sorry to be a downer, but I'm suffering from it at the moment.
