...See more I have this friend who I clearly have feelings for, but they aren't reciprocated. We are still friends regardless, but I have major jealousy when she sleeps with people, I had a bad reaction when she got a new boyfriend, I obsessively think about her, check when she's online and I don't really want to talk to other people. While these are obviously obsessions, I think it's distinct from obsessive love disorder, where the person obsessing is literally controlling and/or possessive. I know she's a separate person, I wouldn't try to control her and I would never turn violent, I actually really want to be there for her... I just hate being such a problem and having these obsessions. I wish I didn't have them. But I'm afraid of losing our friendship due to my obsessions, like in order to overcome the obsessions or if I push her over the edge with them (I might have some rOCD here too, even though we're not in a romantic relationship). I just really don't want to lose her.
