Already wise: I want to congratulate you on being wise beyond your years -- many folks your age wouldn't recognize when it's time to let go. Breakups are hard, even if there wasn't much of a relationship. The best cure is to find someone else to love -- and love can take many forms. Be the best person you can -- work and social skills & staying fit. If your love's returned, this may be that one special person.

It's not easy: Becoming obsessed with someone is often not about the other person, but more about you. Previous hurts and fears of abandonment -- usually starting from a young age -- can make you vulnerable to such obsessions. The good news is that your well-being depends on you, and not on the other person. Working with a psychologist can help you with all of this; it will be a process rather than a quick fix.
