I feel like i'm losing my mind

I made a post here in the same section a few days ago (its called: I am attracted to both a real person and a fictional character). And things have gotten bad for me. The girl I like rejected me, but she dosent have anything against me or anything, so I'm not too upset by it. That was two days ago. My problem is that in my previous post, I mentioned how I had a strong love for a fictional character, Nepeta Leijon. Now that the real life girl is gone from my life, my attraction for Nep has only gotten stronger, to the point where I think I've crossed the line into 'waifu' territory. She dominates my thoughts and fantasies even though she's not real, and I keep telling myself this, but nothing is working. I think I am actually developing a strong connection to this character in my head, almost like a tulpa. I feel like I'm losing interest in the possibility of a relationship with an actual real human. I think I'm going mad. Is there something wrong with me? Should I seek therapy? Or should I just go with my fictional relationship and enjoy it?

  • I wouldn't say you are going crazy, as the others said, you are able to understand what should be considered normal and what should be considered crazy, however it does seem quite abnormal, so I would suggest talking to someone personally about it, and if that doesn't work, I would suggest looking in to therapy, just incase.

    A good sign that your not cray is recognizing that your going crazy.

    This is normal in my opinion. Most people who say it is abnormal are people OBSESSED WITH "REAL" PORN STARS and cannot face the fact that they are basically obsessed with a fake character, a woman that will never exist in their life.

    You will never gain human interaction with pornography, unless you believe that the whore on the screen would care if she ever saw you. They want money. They don't care.

    At least your fictional character is your imagination and not an obsession with legalized prostitutes.

      Heheh, you got that right.

      I never really understood why people like porn so much, it's just people having sex on video. I'd rather watch an actual movie.

  • What karma said. You are A-okay, people have done much much worse than that.

    Wouldn't it be a whole lot cheaper (than a therapist) and a whole lot more sensible (than losing your mind) to get out of the house and meet another real girl?
    Come on, man, just because you've been rejected by a girl is no reason to recede into a shell and go all goo goo eyes for some fictional character.
    Grow a pair; go out into the real world and live!

      The thing is that, I already had feelings for the fictional girl before the real one rejected me, and now i almost feel as though I'm in a relationship with the fictional girl now that the real one is gone from my life.

    I don't think you have a mental disorder, in fact, in some ways you remind me of myself. I would guess your probably more of the creative type than the crazy type although for some these can go together. You can create a vivid world of fantasies and daydreams but you aren't having issues telling what's real and what's not. As long as this isn't getting in the way of life I see no issue, in fact, it may be somewhat of a healthy diversion if it's hard to find a woman at the moment. At the worst, if you are starting to slip a bit (which I do not think you are) it would be a relatively peaceful, more harmless lunacy as opposed to being truly a mental patient. The time to worry with things of this nature is when others begin questioning your behavior. I have sort of been down this road before, but with other things, some of which were somewhat scary. At times, I have had these sort of "tulpa-like" fantasies involving aliens, demons, spirits, energy frequencies, government mind control conspiracies, and other weird things like that. If you start having problems with this sort of thing you WILL know it. However, it will be a combination of you and other people's comments. When others comment that you seem nuts that's when you've probably started to go crazy. Usually, when you begin to believe these sorts of powerful fantasies, you know it is not normal but somehow think it's real. Often times, it stays this way that you think it's real but you somehow think that other people would think that your crazy. So, you sort of know your "crazy" without being aware that you are really kind of nuts. Sometimes, you can reach a point where other people start commenting that you "aren't acting yourself" or that they are "worried about your mental health". That's when you truly are starting to go nuts. At that stage, it can be hard to pull yourself out of on your own and you may benefit from some type of professional help for a time, but you are not at that point yet. What usually really kicks off going crazy is stress and it kind of spirals. First, you start getting a little more out there because life gets too difficult then other people worry about you which stresses you out further then you think your "going nuts" from time to time which scares you more and the next thing you know you can get pretty crazy possibly to the not even knowing it point. However, it can be averted by not getting too worried/stressed and be a chill person

    I will also add that these porn addicts that litter this board watch hentai pornos with little 12 year-old looking girls. I think you are MORE NORMAL than those sick fucks will ever be. Look for a real woman and see if she will roleplay with oyu. That is completely normal.

    I'd say just go and engage more and more with people ...
    As you said that although you liked this character before also but not that much ,but as soon as the real girl left you, you're getting more and more serious and involved in this fictional one... so I guess its clearly because she is the only left option..
    going out with friends and talking more to people or getting busy in other stuff would give you less chance to think about this fictional character and that will absolutely be better for you because - you should realize that thinking too much about a thing that doesn't even exist in reality is something so pointless, I agree it would be fun and even pleasure giving but think about the fact that its NOT REAL. its not going to work out and that in the end it will get you to nothing.- so for you its better to engage in something that is beneficial for you.

    It for sure isn't madness neither craziness, its an obsession through which I have gone... but mine wasn't at such extent.. and the best way I can suggest to help you is to be fully determined to avoid it (and if you keep on telling yourself that its fun and oh I'm enjoying it ,you'll have difficulty overcoming it).. skipping into imagination is so fun but do not forget its reality which every person has to face in the end. so try your best to be a much into real life as you can. and also if you enjoy having fictional characters in mind , create a best friend or someone who doesn't make you crazy like this..

    I hope it helps you :)

          Well, I have tried a few things, but none of them worked. I'm still hopelessly in love with Nep. I think I'm just going to accept it, and come to terms with it.

    The brain does some crazy things you can't control. I've had the same experience multiple times and I can tell you it's just your hormones going crazy. Sometimes your hormones just reach out and latch onto somebody (real or not) and stay there a while. Don't worry, you're fine. You will get over it eventually when your hormones get bored or find someone else to grab onto. :)

      I don't think hormones are at fault here seeing as I don't have a sex drive.

        So... what are these feelings you feel for this character? If not sexual attraction, then what?

          Romantic attraction. Basically, it means that I'm good with a relationship, but without anything sexual. Stuff like kissing, hugging, making out, cuddling, etc. is what I'd be more comfortable with.

    oh dear sounds like you have gotten stuck in the fantasy sort of world, don't let this play on your mind too much or you might end up seeking therapy, I would suggest you try looking for another girl perhaps forget the other one & put this fantasy girl aside for a little while, Im not saying what your doing is wrong but try not to let it swallow you up if you know what I mean?

    And now I see the actual meaning of your post. If you are Asian, then this is normal. If you are a human, quit jacking off and see how fast a real woman lingerie model makes you bust a nut.

      Number one, that is racist and you are a horrible person.

      Number two, I don't jack off, I'm asexual. That means I don't have a sex drive.

      Number three, you're just making me feel bad, which confirms my initial thought that you are a horrible person.
