Yeah, I've been known to obsess too.
It seems like what made it worse was that everyone always told me that "how can you be so upset - it's not like anything ever happened between you two".
While that was absolutely true, it seems to me that the loss of hope is just as painful as the loss of reality.
I CAN promise you that cuteboy is simply one in a million, and, sure, give yourself time to grieve, but know that you woke up this morning as Texas Chic and you will go to bed tonight as Texas Chic.
This episode has bent you, but it has not broken you.
But perhaps now you could begin to reframe your thoughts and see this as a time to focus on something that COULD be real.
There is real love to be found in the world and you deserve to find it.
Tell yourself this everyday, multiple times a day until you know this is true.
I'm so sorry all this has happened.
Take good care.
