Help me get over this, I feel like I’m going crazy.

[Maxxpepp]

Hello!
I feel like I am going out of my mind and I just can’t seem to escape my own thoughts.
I work with a guy who I see every day, there has been a lot of flirting etc but I know nothing can happen. I have just found out he is with someone so I have tried to pull back.
The thing is I am obsessed and I don’t know why. I don’t fancy him as such but he is literally all I can think of. I’m not eating and it’s effecting my sleep aswell.
I’m a 30 odd year old mum and I feel like it’s effecting every part of my life and that I’m going crazy. If I don’t see him or hear from him I’m miserable and when I do I feel on a high.
I’ve read about limerence and feel like this is what I’m experiencing. Does anybody have any tips? Please don’t judge me because I know I sound bat shit but any help would me massively appreciated!

The only way is to stop yourself thinking about him. It's hard because your mind will return to him of its own accord, but each and every time, make yourself think of something else - it will get easier over time.

At work, don't have more contact with him than absolutely necessary and keep your conversation work-related only.

The time will come when you look back and wonder what on earth you saw in him.

You’ve liked how you’ve felt being around him and talking to him that it’s only natural to want to continue feeling that way.
It will take time but I agree with pp, when he pops into your mind quickly get rid of the thought and busy yourself.
It’s okay to feel sad about it so give yourself time and then force yourself to move past it.
I’d try minimise contact with him at work too. No need to ignore, but a polite hi and then move away is enough.
