Suggest Remedy For Emotional Distress

Hi, I am a 64 year old man who met a 19 year old young lady who works as a Hostess at a Restaurant I frequent. Over the course of some months, I have spoken to her many times. However, against all my will, I find myself obsessed with thoughts of her. I have tried counseling, and just this morning, had an appointment with a registered Hypnotist, as I was assured this would solve my problem. Unfortunately, the attempt to hypnotize me was unsuccessful, and having anticipated a cure , I now feel worse than before. I feel a lot of emotional distress, as I am aware of the impropriety of the situation. I would welcome any suggestions. Thanks, Robert.

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

At this age, such kind of affection is normal. That would be due to some unconscious desire. In that case, if your intention about her is right and you want to carry on that relation up to certain extent, then there is nothing wrong in it. You can talk to her once and do your daily work. If you want a long relationship with her, in that case, you should talk to her in detail. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
