Someone who has quit the game. I don’t even know what this person looks like lol. It’s on and off (the crush), but I think I just need to avoid the game so I’m not reminded of him. It’s very silly and not rational, I hate crushes!

I'm bipolar 1 and this is very common. As for me I'm absolutely in love with my bipolar best friend. We go out everywhere together. Dinners, shows, hockey games, picking her up from work, going shopping, etc. My wife and I have nothing in common but I feel I'm stuck and can't leave. I'm totally able to be myself when I'm with best friend and I love it. Even right now I'm thinking of her. I sent her a snap and going to meet her for lunch.
If your happy with your gaming relationship keep doing it. Most people have no idea what we feel or go through. I'll never stop my crush with my best friend, I'm happier with her and we both support each other. I don't feel bad because that's who I am and I'm honest with my wife that I'm going out places with her. Finding happiness isn't easy for us and when we find something go with it.
That's my opinion. And if you ignore it you're going to suffer as I tried to end it with my best friend. It caused me to be depressed and I just told myself I'm going to do what's best for me. We arent the traditional type so dont feel bad.
FYI I dont see a therapist. PM me if you like to talk about relatable issues. It's nice chatting with like minded individuals. It's a bit exhausting trying to explain what I go through or feel and they're still clueless.
