How do i (m16) stop thinking about my (f16) girlfriend.
My girlfriend is awesome, we are both very happy
together but I feel like over time I've lost the ability to focus on only myself. No matter what I do i cant stop thinking about her. We've been together 8 months and it been great. I used to be quite independent last year but after spring break (which was mid march), ive been an anxious clingy obsessive mess. School got difficult, we had some conflicts that we worked through, and things have calmed down but now I cant seem to peel my thoughts away from her. Every second of my downtime has been spent trying to remove her from my mind but I literally cant. No conversation with friends is long enough, no work is stimulating enough, no game is exciting enough to distract my every thought from being about her. We both enjoy our time together but i feel like I cant feel normal without her around. I tried taking a communication break but all that did was make me think about her even more. I need help and I dont know how to get my own thoughts under control, I like my girlfriend so much and I dont want to bog her down with my
own obsession.
