I hope that someone here can relate to what I am going through right now.
First of all, I suffer from depression, ocd, anxiety and trichotillomania. I am on medication. I am 52 years old. I have become obsessed with a celebrity. Looking at pictures of him, listening to him sing, watching his videos, etc. This has only started recently. I have a wonderful husband, and a fairly happy life, except for my depression, etc. So, this obsession started all of a sudden, when I happened to see one of his videos. Its like I was hooked. Now all I want to do is look at pictures of him, listen to him sing.....think of ways I could possibly meet him, which I know is not reality. I get so sad, knowing that I will never know him, and he will never know me. I have thoughts like "I just know he would like me, as a person, if he could only meet me, talk to me....." So hung up on this I am losing sleep over it. I don't know where to turn or what to do. This time of year is hard on me anyway, I lost my mom 2 years ago. Holidays are hard, and the past couple of years I've pretty much slept right through them. Now I am miserable thinking about this guy I will never know. Can anybody relate????? Thanks...... |

I had an obssession with David Letterman in my twentie's. Once I got more involved with my own life, developing close friendships, working, getting out, the crush faded away.....how is your everyday life?

Not sad, just sounds a bit unhealthy for you...what are your dreams, your aspirations, your past time's? Things that you enjoy?

I'm sorry that you're struggling with this..
 Can't you find some other distractions to not think of him?

I "could" I guess, but I don't know what else I would do. I don't have much going on in my life. I have always listened to a lot of music...it usually keeps me very happy. I like to read, but have been so distracted lately that I have not been able to. I don't have any aspirations.....as for dreams, my only dream as of right now is of meeting this person, which I know will never ever happen. I am so frustrated....I don't want to deal with this. Sleeping is so much easier, but as I always do, I try to find an escape.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
