I have this online friend I've had on crush on since January...and I need help getting over her. I keep getting hurt by overthinking things and it has made me emotionally unbalanced, which has now since bled into other things than the situation with her. No good.

 

We decided some time of not speaking would be best, like a month - I already caved and contacted her once (it was an exception I made, seemed serious), it more depends on how long it takes for me to not think about her romatically. Anybody been in this kind of situation and if so how did you solve it? Or any advice, that doesn't involve completely cutting her loose from my life, I like her a lot and enjoy speaking with her.

Right now I would just commit to that idea to take some time away from each other, that's a bigger part of the solution than you seem to realize. Try not to break contact again, unless she's in a position of saving your life or something you can make it a month without her. Just try to spend the time doing things you enjoy, find other things to occupy your mind with and spend time with other people. I'm not saying you'll be totally over her in this 30 days but you can at least start to break some of the ties and then get a fresh perspective on the situation. There isn't really much else you can do, there's no magic pill or method or anything specific you can do to get over someone. The heart loves who it will and it just becomes a battle of the heart, mind, and will power.

Yeah...I will try not to break contact again 'lest it is an emergency or something in that vein. We frequent the same forum (with a small community), found out that's hard, and quick, so I believe I will announce a leaving for a bit there. Seems the right idea. I hope this will at the very least help me gather my wits about me.

 

Thanks.
