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 a similar problem, in that any man who shows an interest in me starts me off obsessing about him.  And I am in a relationship with a man who I love with all my heart.  Obviously this causes problems between me & my other half.

    I have no idea if this is a 'lack of friends' type of thing or an attention seeking type thing. As soon as I've met this man, I'm trying to find out everything about him & checking Facebook for pictures etc.

    I just want to stop this obsessing thing before it destroys the relationship with the most amazing man I have ever met.

    Can anybody offer any advice on how to get myself out of this destructive behaviour?

    Thank you
