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 experienced this too. I found it euphoric at first. Like walking on clouds. But all the while there was the pragmatic part of my brain in the background whispering that this was all just a daydream, a fantasy.

    lucky for me but I got to see the object of my obsession behaving badly and my respect died. I found the strength inside somehow to cut it off (end it) completely. That was the hardest decision but the best one I ever made. I have had no contact with that person since then, and I feel so much better now. 

    I still think about that person but not so much. Every day it fades a bit more. I have found other more healthy things to focus on.

    Hang in there and don't give up! 

    Try to find some other hobby or friends that you can spend enjoyable time with. It sounds easier said than done, but does help in the end.
