This may sound silly, but I fell deeply in love with a character from a movie that doesn't even exist. I had a few too many glasses of wine while watching this movie and I thought maybe it was the wine that caused this effect. But the next morning I can't stop thinking of her, in fact I can't do anything to distract myself from the though of her... and the worse part is that she doesn't even exist which makes me angry, depressed and confused all at once. I waited months for this to go away but it wont.

I'm looking for any advice on what to do about this.

I googled the question but it delt mainly with teens, I am a 24 year old adult and so far nothing I've tried can help with these thoughts. Drinking only makes me more depressed because it only makes me wish I was in the same world as that character so badly that it is driving me insane.

I tried talking to my friend of 19 years but he doesn't understand as much as he tried too. I have a girlfriend and I love her very much but this fictional character has an emotional hold on me and I don't know what to do.
