Hi all, I don’t know where to start…. I met a guy 11 years ago, I was attracted to him, he was as well attracted to me, but I knew that we would not be together because I was dating my husband. We had no physical contact, but I could feel that he was very much liked me. It was November 1999, time passed, I travelled to the other country, Married my husband, we had kids together, I totally forgot about him, time to time my thoughts of him was crossing my mind but normally it would be a just a nice remembrance. A week ago, I suddenly remembered him, and from that evening everything kicked off, I can’t stay without thinking of him, I lost so much weight, I want to cry and I feel that I falling after him! I know that it’s stupid but I just can’t help! I feel like drop my husband and kids and travel to my country to just see him, I know it’s all sounds childish and weird but it’s ruing my life. I don’t know what to do… It’s not me! All my thought and dreams about him… How could it happened? I haven’t seen this person for years, I wasn’t even in love with him, I wasn’t even dating him, and now…. I feel depressed, hopeless… Please do not suggest to me to go and see my doctor, I’m sure that I’m mentally healthy, I have work, friends, family… I just don’t know what to do



Hi Natalie, I know exactly what you’re describing – it happened to me about a month ago. I am happy with my current girlfriend but I when we met I still had feelings for a girl I bonded very closely with in another country, I realised that I had a few dreams of this other girl in which I wasn’t cheating on my girlfriend because in the dream it was like I had never met her – all I knew was this other girl.
When I woke up I felt heart broken that it was all a dream – and that day I tried to be alone to just ‘mull it over’ but my girlfriend was in all day and then we had this huge blow up and nearly broke up. I said a bunch of stuff that wasn’t really what I was thinking.
We are ok now but it was intense and I was ready to leave to ‘go and find this other girl.’
I’m going to sound like a nut perhaps but no I don’t think you need to see a doc but my answer is not much better. I think in some way these are psychic attacks – perhaps not directed malliciously or consciously but subconsciously by others. I’ve noticed a lot of increased activity in this kind of thing over the past year. Now how to fix them?
Hope you clear yourself soon.
hmm ok.. i think that you should probably just visit him if your desperate :s.. just try and control yourself and be good friends.. or you can just keep your mind busy.. keep yourself reallybusy.. DO NOT listen to music..
Well, maybe it’s just pre-menstrual syndrome (pms) I’m not a doctor or shrink but I know that sometimes before women get their menstruation, they start getting emotional and sometimes slightly out of hand (crazy. haha). If you really can’t decide what to do, you should really try seeing a shrink or talking to a trusted wise, friend, or maybe a family member in that country? Because, by the looks of things, you’re just in a bad state now. Also, if your sex life isn’t all that great, people start to think about divorce or other men. If that’s the case, talk to your husband about needing more sex? Just a suggestion, of course.

Well, I hope all goes well with you.
