for the past month or 2 ive been having constant dreams about a certain town and a certain person
He's my age and i know his name
i met him ONCE and it wasnt in person
i rarely had dreams until i met him and i met him in september
sometimes he's not in the dream, but his town is
for some reason i just want to go down to Georgia from new york and meet him
this is getting really sad, ill be extremly happy in my dream ;being in his town with him; then i wake up and im in new york , depressed as always.
im 16 in 4 days and i feel like running away for a couple days to go down and see him , he'll probably think im crazy but this wont end
how can i stop the obsession and do you think i should see him?

I think you should discuss this with your mom and dad.

At fourteen you wouldn't have any security whatever in going to Georgia to visit him, regardless of dreams or thoughts. You need your parents' advice, please.

Hmmm, how old is he?

i totally agree with genetic. like you said it's an obsession..uncontrolable thoughts. to help you with that-what's missing in your life that you feel is not there? that investigation (by yourself) may reveal the answer.

im also obbsessed with the town he lives in for some reason

Can't you just call him on the phone or skype or facetime ... running off is not wise

[skanny]

its not the same , i feel like if i just see him , it will all be over

IMO , you need to talk to someone. Your age and his make this a bad situation. Does he know you obsess over him?

[skanny]

nope and theres nobody to talk to
and im not the kind of guy who talks about my feelings like that to people i know

Do you have a therapist?

[skanny]

no

my parents are clueless about my 6 year depression

Is this a romantic interest I assume? If so, are you out to your parents? Is this kid also gay? Does he know you are interested in him and does he feels the same? If Not skip the gay questions.

parents are clueless once again

With ya'lls age and the sexual aspect I think you would be better suited to talk to a counselor or your parents or a therapist. You may even be able to talk to someone from a PFLAG group or GAY/STRAIGHT alliance group. I am a gay woman and growing up in a small town with no one to talk to about this stuff was hard and led me down many bad paths.

I misread this, Skanny. You're almost sixteen, but that's still much too
young to think about a trip alone to Georgia. You'd be very vulnerable to
fall into real difficulty somewhere along the way or in Georgia if you
happen to meet the wrong people.

Any trip should be escorted by one or both of your parents at your age.
