Sometimes when we obsess over someone, it can disrupt our normal lifestyle. “Obsessive thoughts are repetitive, intrusive, and distressing. Although this a normal part of the human experience, if you find that it becomes persistent and disruptive, meaning it significantly impacts your daily life and well-being or puts others in an uncomfortable position, it’s advisable to seek help from a mental health professional to help you manage and alleviate these experiences,” wrote Therapist Jessica Da Silva as she shared tips on how to stop obsessing over someone.(Unsplash)
