How can I stop thinking about someone to the point where I can’t function normally?

Having a bit of an unrequited love situation and literally cannot stop thinking about this person or the way they view me and it’s affecting my concentration and entire life basically .. don’t know how to calm the thoughts down

Have they told you they don’t love you back? If so, distance yourself from them and focus on other things. It will be hard at first but you’ll get through it. And it’s ok to cry about it as well.

yeah they told me they didn’t love me back. They said at the moment they’re not looking for a relationship and don’t wanna hurt me

Then best to move on. But well done for telling them. It’s always better in the long term.

Have you got other things in your life you can focus on - studies, friends, work, hobbies...?
If this is really interfering with your day-to-day functioning it might be worth seeking specialist help too.

Yes loads! But these obsessive, analysing thoughts are really interfering with all of it. I can’t study or just have fun with my friends and hobbies :frown:

In that case, it sounds like this might be soemthing you want to seek help for and maybe talk to your GP? Having these kinds of intrustive or obsessive thoughts isn't necessarily normal.
