I have to agree, these threads really do help a lot. Over the past year I have dealt with a really nasty case of oneitis. It was the worst experience of my life and every day felt like torture.
Now that I am starting to make progress and don't feel the constant pain and emotional attachment to this girl, I must say that I feel stronger than I ever have in the past, even before I went through the oneitis.
Threads like these and others have really helped me to examine myself more closely and work on improving my life. I am thinking in an entirely different manner now. Instead of depending on others for happiness or just hoping things will change, I am actually taking action and being proactive in my life. I never realized just how much I was drifting through life and letting fear control me until I went through this very painful experience with oneitis.
I would never wish the experience I went through on my worst enemy, but I honestly must say that now that I am over it and have moved on, it may very well be the most important and influential event that I have encountered in my life. So if you are going through oneitis, just continue to work on improving yourself and do your best to break that emotional attachment you have with the girl. It may take a very long time and it is a constant struggle, but when you conquer it and move on, you will be a much stronger and more capable person.
