Like, going out somewhere new, a new hobby, a good book or movie, something to broaden your horizons, give you something fresh & new to talk about. Maybe that would get your mind "unstuck" on the same topic?? I don't know.

I'll add that the person I was friends with isn't even someone who doesn't expose herself to new things and this made her an interesting person. She is schizophrenic and I didn't mind being friends with her. I'm completely fine with supporting a friend yet there still has to be reciprocity for it to be called a friendship. That's where the major problem was. I was just a free counselor to her, she would constantly dump her issues on me while having no interest in mine; there were a lot of reasons for this and she did this to all of her friends. I was friends with her for quite a while so naturally the friendship became more exhausting than enjoyable. That's when I knew what was going on wasn't good for me. She, too, would turn everything into a sex joke or to her sex life...to the point where it was tmi, even when discomfort was made obvious each time she still continued...
