Suggest Treatment For Depression And Obsessive Thoughts
I m very depressed. I ve been fixated and obsessed with the same woman for almost 30 years. I separated from my wife a year ago. This woman contacted me a few weeks ago. I thought she might be single. We talked today and she is still married. I professed my obsession and love for her. I know this is going no where, but I can t help but feel like there is no one else for me and that I will be alone for the rest of my life. How do I put her behind me.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. From my experience, if you try to forget any obsessive thoughts or try to ignore them, they always overpower you. The best way is to enjoy thinking about them. Being with your past girl friend is and was fun. Take it like one. Engage yourself in your profession and the diversion task should be easy for you.
Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You are having these obsessive thoughts mainly because you are possessive. You feel that, without her, your life could be shattered. Love makes us to think so. Is it so actually? Everyone has to leave the earth one day and the other survives, even though crippled with grief. That too for some time. Then they come back to life. That is the rule of life. If you try to forget forcefully, those obsessive thoughts will bounce back. Instead, you should consider those thoughts are energising. Also engage yourself in entertaining activities / vocation.
If you still need my help, please describe the whole problem in detail and post a direct question to me. I shall definitely help you with psychotherapy techniques to over come your problems.
