For the last three months something strange has been happening to me. I’ve been developing what feels like an obsession over a man that fades a day or two after my period ends. The first time it happened I had a weird new obsession over my dp. I saw him in a new light and craved his attention. Then a week later, it faded and little things began to annoy me about him ( back to normal). The second time was over a stranger who I’d talked to for about an hour in total on a train journey. Thoughts of him consumed me and then just like before a week later it’s gone. Then most recently, I developed what felt like an obsession over someone who I’ve known for a little while. Then a week later I look at him and think what the hell was I thinking.
im actually worried about who it will be next month who I obsess over. It’s like something takes over my brain for that week and I become a different person. I can’t control it and feel embarrassed afterwards.
Anyone else experience this or know what it could be? Obvious answer is hormones, but why is it just started happening. I’m 31 and never experienced this until now.
