I mean really severe emotional overloads. We have two classes in a row together. The other day, he didn't show up for the first one. I kept glancing at the door, waiting for him to show up, and when he didn't, I was so disappointed it stressed me out pretty bad. When I went to get coffee with my friend after that class, I told her how I was really hoping he would show up for my next class. And then when I walked into the room and he was there, it was like my heart dropped to my knees and exploded. I immediately regretted hoping he would be there. I had to struggle to focus during the entire class. I felt really nauseous and I didn't know what to do with myself. The emotions were so strong a few classes ago that I had to take my notebook out and write song lyrics down to at least pour them out a little bit. It helped slightly, thankfully.

The thing is, I've been in four relationships. I'm nineteen (he's twenty-one, for the record). You'd think I could handle this stuff by now, right? Well, evidently not. I've been in love before, but I've never had a crush quite this intense. I've always been able to stop myself from glancing at the guys I like, but sometimes I'll catch myself just looking at him and then I just really hope he didn't notice. Is this normal? It freaks me out, man.

    Mild anxiety maybe? Either way, try to relax as this extra stress will not good for you, especially in college.

    Totally unrelated, I'm looking for a research assistant. I have cookies and kittens and giant robots and we could watch the world burn together.

    I love that feeling. The obsession. The all encompassing magnetism. The constant pull you feel. The knot in your chest and stomach like moths fleeing wildfire. It's better than any drug I've ever taken. Just breathe. That's all the advice I can give you. Take it one day, one step at a time and hope to god you don't stumble. And remember, it's absolutely pointless to stress out about the things you have absolutely no control over.

    Oh gosh im glad im not a kid anymore... lol but anyway, i would say, yes, normal.. lol.. just remember to talk to him like acfriend, think of him as such. He's not a different species. Just remember if he's not a nice person on the inside, he's a loser & not worth it.

    I think I can relate to it. I have a crush on a guy and we are in a team. There was an event that we should attend together but he didn't show up and I kept waiting for him but then he messaged me saying that he couldn't come. I felt like crying and my whole mood that day suddenly changed. There was a day when he drove me home and after that I couldn't stop imagining how nice my life would be if I could date him.

    But I don't think he likes me back, (I'm in a friendzone)I can be sooooo happy when he is around and the other day when I don't see him I can be so depressed. I can't handle my feelings sometimes :(
