It's the new year, time to pick up new things and let old things go.

Do you have an unhealthy habit, obsession and infatuation? What was it and how long was it?

Is it time to let it go?

I can't let it go im in love with it. Yes my unhealthy obsession/addiction is my fiance. Though i have set at least 10 Newyears resolutions to stop myself from annoying him im finding im strugglnig within the first day. I just find i want to be closer to him but he's always busy or out or with friends. I sit for hours (and im doing it at the moment) waiting for him to come online but usually its in vain. Yesterday besides at 1am to wish him Happy New Year i didn't speak to him all day. Eventually at midnight last night he called to say goodnight.
Im easily upset and agrivated when he isn't there. I don't know why but if i've spoken to him or seen him i feel better. If i havn't then my mood drops. Now im trying to untie that "bond" so that i can survive without him and so that he can live his own life without me in his shadow. Its going to take a lot. As i pointed out to him, he is like a drug to me (Yes its from Twilight, the one good quote that actually means something), for me a "fix" of seeing him or chatting to him keeps me "high" all day. Without i end up craving and wanting. Now you can see why its unhealthy. Im like a junkie coming off the drugs. My resolutions are a "rehab" and my games are my distractions. It will still take a while for me to come off him completly but if he sticks by and waits patiently im sure it will soon end. I'll always love him but it will be in the correct way. Not this "school girl crush" mode.

(sorry for being extremely sickly, im sure you weren't expecting to hear this on this thread but i've realised when i saw this thread that it is exactly what im doing).

Playing video games and not eating enough fruit. I wish I did less of one and more of the other.

Wow....I was gonna say someone needs a hug at first, but after reading all of it, it seems kinda familiar. I've gone through the same thing, and don't worry, it goes away after a while.

OT: I'm going to think of new things to joke about.

I hate to say it but Kingdom Hearts was my biggest obsession. Took me 3 years to ditch it. I'm all better now though, so it's okay. I am currently obsessed with L4D.

As said before, WoW, but only the period in which I was a hardcore raider (about 1.5-2 years from my 3 years of play). It was a good time, but I wouldn't for the life of me go back to that. I played WotLK casually, explored all the content in a relaxed pace. Might do the same with Cataclysm, might not return at all. But I stopped about a year ago, and still WoW has more hours on Xfire than anything else. Will take a while before that's overtaken, even though it's just 539 hours.

In terms of full-on obsessions (as opposed to very strong interests; anime and video games don't count), either Sonic the Hedgehog or Yugioh, both in mid to late elementary school. The latter's ambiguous since it merged into other Shonen Jump series, and it resurfaced somewhat thanks to the abridged series.

Drop all contact. Delete her number; leave facebook; become a hermit. Anything to lose contact with her. It will be hard at first but after a while you will quickly forget about her and see the light :p

My obsession? Well, its not totally an obsession, but it had been on my mind for quite a while. My best friend (who is also my ex, who would figure?) got a new bf and totally ditched me. The last month or so has been extremely hard considering when you talk to someone nearly everyday to not speaking at all it is pretty hard to cope, especially when they feel like nothing has changed in the slightest and dont seem to understand. It was hard because I was a very good friend, and despite trying to keep in contact she doesnt try in the slightest anymore. Its quite sad when you think about it...

It was hard at first to get over it, but the xmas holidays gave me a change of scenery and a different environment that really helped me get over my 'obsessing' of what happened between me and my friend. I still think about it, but its in the past; its New Year and a new start waits ahead! :p

Longest obsession. Good question, it's a tough one. A tie between music and animals.

If he is not giving you attention, scream at him until he does. That's his job, and if he isn't doing it what's the point?
