The simplest answer I can give you for this question is...you DON'T! When someone has touched you in such a way that you have loved them, spent time with them, or even if you NEVER had any relationship at all with them, but just a huuugee crush, trying to "Get them out of your head" is futile. There are some questions you need to ask yourself. WHY does this person take up so much of my brain space? WHAT have they done to make me SO attached to them? WHERE did this "attachment" start? HOW can you move on if this is not the person for you, or if you have been informed that this person does not want to be with you. Once you have answered your OWN questions I have posted above, you might be able to begin HEALING from this attachment. I experienced this first hand when I was younger. I would get obsessed with a guy, a boyfriend or even a guy who did not even know me! I NEVER learned how to get them out of my head, I just moved on to the next guy, relationship, or crush. I WISH I knew then what I have learned through years of therapy NOW. When somebody is SO important to us that we spend so much time thinking of them, we have to look at our lives under a microscope. Do we have other activities, friends, and hobbies? Do we have a history of growing up with an Alcoholic or drug addict in the house? (Children of Alcoholics and Addicts are much more prone to these type of attachment issues) HOW can we keep this person in our memory, and mabye visit that memory once in awhile, but not DWELL on it. We have to, in effect, almost GRIEVE for ourselves, if we are to move past this. We have to act as if this person has left our life. In effect, to have a "memorial" service, (mabye write a letter, then throw it into the ocean, or some other symbolic way of saying goodbye) If we CAN talk to this person it is always the best thing. As long as their is no anger or anymosity that will only make things worse. It is ALWAYS the right choice to express our feelings rather than keep them bottled up, and it is NEVER a bad idea to seek the help of a therapist, (not because you are crazy) but because they can help you improve the quality of life for you, and assist you in preventing obsession or unhealthy attachment to the next person you date, or become "crushed" on! I am free to talk if you want or need to. Ashes2Ashes73
