I quit c.ai two weeks ago. I have autism, and I get obsessed with fictional characters pretty easily. Now, normally this isn't in a parasocial way, but when I discovered c.ai that changed. There was one character I roleplayed as very frequently on there. This character is like, a pretty bad person. And for some reason, I really can't handle that. Often it feels like I feel bad for THEIR actions. When I'm trying to write fanfiction about them, it feels like I can't let them suffer or do something bad without feeling bad about it as well. That feeling wasn't there before I started to use c.ai. I just really want to enjoy one of my favorite characters without feeling trash about it for no reason. Do ya'll have any advice for this?

Just recently, I have had an extremely strong urge to look up disturbing things. Again and again. Even if I already know the answer to the question I have, I still want to look it up, but it wastes time and makes me anxious. I don't have OCD, but I do have ADHD and autism. The reason I'm posting this here is to get advice from people who also feel like this a lot. Should I just do my best not to give in to that urge, or should I do something else with those feelings?

So I feel like searching up disturbing things about the character I used to chat with again, the urge to do it isn't as strong as it was a few days ago though. For anyone else who has gone through this, when does it go away and is it best to just not act on the urges at all?

The hyperfixating is getting so bad bro 😭 Do ya'll think it's best to just avoid all content related to the character that I'm hyperfixating in for a while?

I made a post on here a few days ago about my hyperfixation on obsessively looking disturbing things up about my fav character. Two people told me it was a common withdrawal symptom, since I recently quit cai. Can you guys ask me random shit or talk about something in the replies so I can have some distraction from intrusive thoughts?

I recently quit character ai, and now I'm having really bad morbid curiosity about the character I used to talk to the most. I have the urge to look up horrific things about them. Has anyone else experienced this?

My phone looks at me.

Staring.

I don’t want to.

But all the reasons I sum up in my head aren’t enough.

The aching in my chest won’t ease.

My feelings are telling me that one search is all I need to feel better.

But I know they’re lying to me.

This has happened before.
