Ughhhh I get this… Lol…
The big question is how to stop that feeling it really is annoying… Like maybe if I act crazy and post crazy photos of myself to put them off me. Lol.
@anon90843118 I totally have this too! I was tempted to post this article on Facebook but I have some family members that would be mortified by my truth. It makes me sad to think about. I want to come out with this publicly but it is so embarrassing anywhere other than on this website.
At least you have this forum as a first step. That’s good. I kind of do too.
I think we need to stay away from the individuals we are so focused on and take our meds/stay in therapy. I don’t know how to stop thinking that this guy is watching me either!
My problem is that I probably have a crush on them even though I don’t want to so then I project that feeling from them on to me.
Why is it that I get to have a crush on ppl I find unpleasant. Idk.
Its a possible delusion in sz and other mental illnesses, I had it when unmedicated and I think on Abilify but on Abilify it was caused by hypersexuality rather than delusions.
I am on Vraylar but keep hallucinating this guy and a couple rock stars driving around my neighborhood
Idk about Vraylar but I don’t have it on Risperdal.
You don’t have a crush on a person. You have a crush on your imagination of the person. Once you actually know the person feelings could change.
There is a metaphysical, spooky aspect to it but most of it is just wishful thinking.
I’ve got this “girl that got away” and it’s like I’ve finally moved on from her but I think about her more than I want to. I’d rather not think about her at all.
It just hurts when you realise that they don’t care about you how you’d like them to. I don’t like them anymore but it still hurts. Do you know what I mean?
I’ve been rejected hard by someone I basically wrecked my life pursuing. I know the feel.
I have that same thing too! His real wife is one of my hateful voices to keep me away from him
All I know is, it can take a looooong time before you can actually accept it and move on.
It’s excruciating and somehow also pleasurable too (when you indulge in the fantasy as if it were real).
The pleasure of it makes it harder to want to accept…because it means letting that side of it go too.
I suffered with this a lot in my 20s, 30s and early 40s. Sometimes had a fixation on someone for years at the expense of other relationships that could have become real if I wasn’t such a fantasist. It’s almost subconsciously I was avoiding settling down. Relatively happy on my ownsome now.
Yea I know what you are talking about there was this one guy in hospital who believed he was a major recording artist and that rihana was in love with him he was waiting for her to pick him up in her hallicopter. Years later he no longer has these delusions and is getting paid for work and has a girlfriend of his own who he stays with.
Yah @Big-Kahuna! It’s nice to hear a happy ending of sorts for a change.
No, I swear, Mother Teresa really did love me. A leper told me, and lepers never lie.
