All right, here's my story: When I first walked into my English class the first day of junior year and saw my English teacher for the first time, I noticed right away that she was gorgeous. English, though it was a boring class, automatically became my favorite just because she was there. I would look forward to English class every day so I could see her. She was tall, elegant, sophisticated, intelligent, ladylike. Though she could be cold at times, she had a kind heart. In the next few weeks I developed a crush on her. I would love just looking at her, just seeing her smile made me so happy. As time passed, my feelings grew stronger and stronger. I thought about her more and more, to the point where I thought about her almost all the time. In just a few months, I went from having a crush on her, to being completely in love with her and lusting after her. Whenever I was in her class or she was present in the room I would just stare at her, blocking out everything going on around me, I would just focus on her and think about what it would be like to toucher, kiss her, and things of that nature. I would be so hypnotized by her that my friends would have to snap their fingers in front of my face to get my attention whenever she was present. To me, she was the perfect woman, the only woman in the world that I wanted, no other woman, no matter how pretty or how sweet could ever compare to her. I knew I was obsessed, but she just made me so happy, I never thought it could turn into anything bad or unhealthy. But then this obsession started to take its toll on me. Whenever I talked to her, I would literally shake with excitement, like it was a drug fix, but like any drug, eventually the amount you're taking won't satisfy you anymore and you'll want more. I was no longer satisfied with just being with her and having the usual small talk conversation. I wanted to touch her, I wanted to hold her, I wanted her to love me. I would just lay in my bed for hours, thinking about what it would be like to touch her, and then quickly become depressed that I couldn't. Whenever her fiance (the vice principal of our school) was mentioned, I would go into a jealous rage. Whenever I thought about her, depression, rage, and tears soon followed because I knew I could never have her. Loving someone who doesn't even think about you when you're not around, gazing everyday at everything you've ever wanted and knowing you can't have it. All of it is just tearing me apart! And now things have gotten even worse. I've been dating this girl for a few weeks. She's pretty, kind, funny, and really is a great girl. I do like her, but whenever we're together I can't stop thinking about my English teacher. The thought that my girlfriend will never be her is constantly scratching at my mind whenever we're on a date. My girlfriend is a very lovable girl, but my obsession prevents me from seeing what she is, and makes me constantly think about what she's not. She's really into me and I'm not about to break up with a girl because of a girl I can't have. I really need help, I'm at my wits end. This obsession is ruining my life. If anyone here can offer any words of advice at all, please post it, I really do appreciate it.
