Living Life: Your brain appears to be an addict brain. It is lying to you. When one is addicted to something the obsession is bizarre and way out of bounds for the problem. Your body has to learn how to be normal again. This will take time. I get the strong sense that you may have an underlying mental health problem. This obsession is not normal in any way. Perhaps it is time to get to psychiatry.
