Ep 130: Clinging Desperately to Relationships Even When Theyre Not Great

Published: May 9, 2020, 3:23 a.m.

b'This is an episode for if you have a painful obsession with an ex or a pervasive habit of fixating on relationships: they\\u2019re more important than job, personal time, family and friends. And often that relationship is one you know isn\\u2019t great \\u2013 but you still obsess about that person, and it consumes your life. This might be especially painful during quarantine because you\\u2019re unable to distract yourself and do something about it. This is about putting yourself in ridiculously desperate positions, clinging to a relationship \\u2013 even when you know it isn\\u2019t right for you. And that gush of fear, terror, loneliness, pain that overwhelms you and causes you to feel like you\\u2019d do ANYTHING to get someone to come back to you. It can make you act in crazy and degrading ways \\u2013 but the pain of not having a person is too great. This was a request from a few different people (some of whom requested it quite a long time ago - so hopefully this is still helpful)!!
