Yes, obsessive attachment is something many people experience. I don't have the level of nervous attachment that you do, but:
1) today I experienced a gut wrenching disappointment because I might not get a job I wanted yet. The intense part lasted a few minutes but I'm still sad about it a few hours later.
2) Relationships or the lack thereof I have also become obsessed with. The thing is, that obsession is always about things that aren't healthy for me, not things that are healthy.
Overall, the best thing I can recommend is use your health insurance and get a therapist.
- samh748 5y agoThanks for sharing that. It really does help. I have a theory that I feel most reassured when the people I look up to also share the experience (ie I'm not any less-than for it, and I still have potential despite it), like people on HN, including yourself! because you gave me awesome responses in my other Ask HN regarding my interest in many disciplines! By the way, I asked you another question [], regarding writing, if you don't mind :) []: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30942336 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30942336
