[Boreas]

I think we have all been in the situation before where we meet someone, even sometimes just see someone in a movie or on T.V. and then feel this incredible need to know everything about them, and the more we find out, the more infatuated, obsessed, and enamored we become.

This feeling always carries with it a sense of deep loss, like now, there is something missing in your life, when before it was just fine.

What is the cause of this feeling of loss?

Why are some ways to lessen it if any?

What are some good ways to stop obsessing over something, even if you
know in your mind that it is irrational? (This is especially true with movie stars)

I had a friend tell me once that having a crush was the best drug around, that your body was just releasing all sorts of chemicals. I have to admit there is a high to it, but there is also a very deep low. Any advice/tips welcome. Thanks!
