Obsessive and clingy??

Post Reply New Topic

Ok then you're not the burn-out clingy type. Just nice clingy.

I don't think you're obsessive...just in love.

From your description of his reactions..being angry and all that... take a step back and think about it. Is that the behavior of someone cares about you or loves you?

I've seen too many times especially around your age range where guys (and girls) treat relationships as some sort of pass-time ...for fun, for sex or for social prestige.... but its very superficial. It could be a case of you falling in love with someone who was only in it for the short term buzz.

It hurts but sometimes really the only thing you can do is move on.

Yes you are allowed to be sad. It hurts when you want to be around someone and enjoy their company so much, but they don't want to be around you any more. I've been there. It takes time, but it will start to hurt less and less as time goes on.

Sometimes things just don't work out. People can adore each other, but over time little things can start to be annoying. Stupid things like how the other person scratches their nose or eats their soup and the annoying things become more noticable than the good things. I'm not saying you are a noisy soup eater, it's just an example.

But when he says he still loves you he means that he knows that you are not a through and through bad person. He sees that there is good in you, but after spending time together he feels that you are him not compatible.

And that will hurt. Sometimes the reason is difficult to define. I think we are quiet analytical, logical people as aspies and we want solid reasons that we can understand and work at to fix. Like if your car stops working you take it to a garage to find out what is wrong. You're told the spark plugs need replaced, so you get that done and the car works again.

People and relationships are not as easy to work out as a broken car. Sometimes you just know that things aren't working and there is nothing that can be done to mend it. It took me a long time to learn this and I understand that dreadful, empty, knawing pain when someone takes themself away from you when you want them to be near.

The best thing you can do is throw yourself into something you enjoy or start a new hobby. Find things that make life good without him.

It's just getting worse.. I don't want to eat.. I don't want to go out.. Normally I don't even cry almost at all but now I'm weeping every once in a while, specially when I wake up randomly at night and I realize I can't have him holding my hand and telling me his silly stories.. I'm so madly in love with him. And it hurts so much, that he just.. Abandoned me..

I wish I had a woman like in the comic!! Because I sometimes get like that!!

Why are her eyes censored?

you will just have to recognise when you think about him, to force yourself to think of something else and not to think of yourself as less worth. It will help a bit.

That's so sweet of you.

It will pass and it will be difficult, perhaps even last for a while but it will pass. Do you have a friend you can spend some time with and talk about it?

Emmy... other posts in here since your original also tell me that you're also being too hard on yourself. For your sake, snap out of this behaviour as well because I sense you will be hard on others too if you are not careful. Don't call yourself 'stupid' or 'f*****g ret*d'. Continue on with regular meals and regular sleep pattern and don't harm yourself. I sense there was a great deal of communication issues with this guy and it works both ways. Accept you responsibility for things and learn to let go.

Honestly, I don't know why people aren't taught "mindfullness". My psychologist (legend) taught it to me after a stupid psychiatrist had me on the valpro (which didn't work).

How he taught me was via breathing. You close your eyes and focus on your breathing, nothing else (I did it by thinking "breathe in, breathe out" lol). If another thought comes in, you acknowledge it, but you set it aside for later or just get rid of it altogether. After enough practise you can do it on the fly.

OP, you need to get into the habit of when these "obsessive" thoughts come into your head, you acknowledge them, you let them go, and then you get back to what you were doing. It'll be hard, but you can do it. I use it to manage stress and daydreaming at work and get on with my job.

Well my way to push those thoughts away is working.. I do 13 hours days at work, without stopping, and everything's okay. But not even that at the moment.. I'm 3 weeks off of work because I broke my hand. So that's why it's getting worse.

Sounds like you pushed yourself way too hard with those details. Learn to relax and take some moments to yourself. You have time to read now, message me if you want any suggestions
