I can see that this is unhealthy right now. I think I need to go for a walk.
I totally get that obsessed feeling.... Ugh... I used to check the phone records over and over and over, and facebook, etc. I was completely useless at work for a long time. I am probably lucky to still have my job...
I knew it was unhealthy, and yet I just couldn't stop myself.
Honestly, I still struggle with it... but I'm getting better
Someone here, I think it was firebolt, said she would keep a bracelet on her wrist that she could snap herself with when the obsessive thoughts began, and was able to train her mind away from it with time....
