Love help: this sort of thing happens to me once in a while, I’ll - Help.com

this sort of thing happens to me once in a while, I’ll

slip into an obsession over a work of fiction, or an idea, than I have to rip myself back into reality in a very harsh manner, by reminding myself that it’s not possible

It all started about a week ago, I was bored and watched pokemon heroes, because I had nothing better to watch. aside from the stark contrast between the series’s “alls well that ends well” attitude, the movies are a bit darker…
but the one thing tat pricked me is at the end, where bianca/latias kissed ash, I was was impressed at the complex questions the writers implied there particularly: would such a relationship even be right?

As a Christian, my first response was something like “ewwwww…” but than I got to thinking, There are no creatures other than humans capable of a meaningful relationship with a human, God if made such a thing in real life, How could he make it a sin?

I eventually arrived at the conclusion that such a thing would not have been made a sin if such a creature existed…

that was the last barrier, you see, I have always had an unexplainable love and respect for the unknown, the strange, and the taboo (but not necessarily wrong), the notion implied in the movie was the perfect representation of my own ideals. I began to dive into the altoshipping community, becoming less and less coherent by the day. I finally had to do return to reality, when I found myself pacing around my room, babbling uncontrollably about latias. I had to do the hard thing and force myself that the ultimate representation of who I am was impossible to even happen…

now I seem to be slipping in and out, and it’s scaring me, I am having violent thoughts to myself and others, fascinations of destroying everything (this usually happens when I tear myself into reality.), even hallucinating to a degree…

I don’t know what do do, I can’t get professional help (dad doesn’t approve of psychiatrists, school doesn’t have them.) and I’m afraid to tell pretty much anyone I know that I fanticise about being in love with a non-human creature capable of returning it.

anyone out there, please, I need to at least hear you opinion… even if you have no advice.

Wow…that’s intense. I would recommend digging into the Bible and studying about what love is…Try Romans and 1 & 2 Corinthians. There is obviously some issue your dealing with that makes you want to be in love with a non-human. There are “relationships” between people and dogs and cats, etc…but it is a different kind of love than what only a human can give. God created the ability to love and He loves you. There is someone out there that is waiting to find a person like you and to fall in in love with you…just be patient!

I know that, I have had a girlfriend for five years now…
it’s just hard for me to recognize that such a beautiful concept isn’t possible. therefore I obsess over it.

I am very familiar with those verses, and thats what I took into question when I was asking the question to myself.

I see…movies and books often make people feel that way about something (I sometimes get too connected with a movie and then realize that it’s too good to be true). We just have to realize that if there is a point where a piece of fiction makes us get too obsessive or something that we need to set a limit on how much to read at time or choose to read or watch things that probably won’t make us feel that way. I can see where you’re coming from…I think you’d make a very interesting author if you wrote a book on some of your experiences! There are others out there that would want to hear what you have to say I’m sure!

really?
hmm perhaps this is just something I should put in the blackbox for later… I’ll try to taper off on any other fan fiction relating to it, perhaps you’re right about the author thing…
imagine, some ordained guardian of some legendary creature confronting someone willing to do harm to the creature, not believing he legends, than, when questioned as to why he defends the creature for seemingly no reason, he admits: “The creature is not just the [insert legendary role for creature], she is also… my WIFE!”

that actually sounds like a good solution, a creative outlet…

thank you.

Nice! lol
If you write down your feelings it may help you to realize that new things about yourself…don’t let your “problem” hinder you, but use it to help others break away from false realities!
P.S. If you do write a book, I’ll buy it!

Dude…you’re totally right. I’ve never even been to this site before and it was basically an “accident” that I typed it in Google. This little chat between us was set up by God one could say…it’s pretty sweet to think about realities like this that ARE real!!!!

i think it’s pretty normal to have fantasies about random stuff, especially when it is erotic in some way. our imagination is one of the best parts of being human! strong ideas like this can really affect you i reckon.

hey, could you explain the bianca/latias and ash thing? I haven’t seen this movie, although I used to watch Pokemon, so I’m not exactly sure about the concept you’re talking about. I think I understand it to be a relationship between an animal and a human?

But I know what it’s like to get caught up in fanfiction, so I’d definitely take a break from it. It is possible. You’ll just have to take it in moderation, and I can give the same advice to myself at the moment. I haven’t been into fanfiction since January, because school became extremely demanding. Now that it’s summer…yeah, I need to restrain myself.

I get a little crazy over ideas and concepts too, so I’m sure it’ll eventually pass.

heres what happened basically.

the regular characters go to some Venice like city called altomar for some water ski race, well, they learn about the legend of the guardians (latias and latios) and how their father gave his life to save the city. well, the city is maintained by his crystallized spirit. well, annie and oakley (a team rocket thingie) was to get the crystallized spirit (called soul dew)and one of the guardians. well, turns out that latias can transform into a human form (but can’t talk, and likes to look like her friend, bianca.) and she gets chased by team rocket, ash saves her, than she disappears (she can turn invisible in her pokemon form) later, ash discovers the secret garden where latias lives, latios tries to attack ash, latias defends ash in her human form, and throughout the story shows a general sense of affection towards ash in both human and pokemon form.
than something happens and latios (her brother, if you haven’t guessed) dies in order to save the city.
at the end theres an open ending where either bianca or latias kisses ash, although most of the evidence points to latias.

Hi jabbox…I think I can relate to obsessing, just a different subject, (one of those family things) I recall being up nights working, sometimes an injustice I perceived would bore it’s way into my awareness and it just hung around for the night. What I sense in your account of this episodic struggle is the awareness you have and that the severity to which it seems to affect you. Maybe a clue to seeing it differently lies in legitimizing it’s power on one hand- that you are so far, somewhat alone with the issue. I think you have already identified the importance of not just the magnitude of it’s effect on you, but wisely you are seeking a response and I don’t see you letting it defeat you, or else, we wouldn’t be here. Some things to consider I would think are to realize you are aware of it’s need to be addresses. Treating a trauma with a trauma is out of the question. You state with clarity it’s power and your valid uncertainty. You have some ideas to mull right now, but what I want to offer you is the immediate relief you might get just taking a look at it in the sense that, while you are decidedly altered in day to day routines, I want to know if you could try to make a basic distinction between some of the major elements. There’s the way you feel about this ordeal. Please attempt to separate that from an equally important and indisputable truth that you can’t eat an elephant in one bite. Also, cats sometimes will chase their tail, in a kind of nonsensical, non cat way. All they have to do is sit still and they are able to reach back with little effort and grasp the tail, without the animation. Also, I already have understood you as having perceptive ability when you addressed an are of concern I have. I found you to be in charge of important areas of your true self. You will agree, I’ll bet, that the way you feel about this is an entirely separate issue from something important. The event itself is what it is- an event you say happens from time to time, How you feel about it is, you’ll agree, an entirely separate issue, not to be enhanced or altered with the notion that accelerates your anxiety. I will agree that this situation is disturbing and consuming you, but you need to consider that you have way more power than you are acknowledging. I’m curious how you might feel if you stopped and considered what I am about to say. While this feels disabling, it is a beginning of something, not an end. In identifying it’s ‘magic,’ remember this, that which seems the most feeble and bewildered in you is actually the strongest and most determined part of you.Is it not your very breath that has erected and hardened your bones, your structure, who you are ?? Is it not the dream you have of your very existence that has formed your life’s today and fashioned all that is in it?? If you could see the tides of your breath, you would see nothing else. If you hear the whispering of the dreams in you that put you in your otherwise balanced life or state of being, you would hear no other sound! you with me? that’s an empowering beginning to your mastering this unpleasant conditon. That’s only the beginning of your power because right now you are not seeing and hearing. In the space of your day, you must, Christian or or otherwise, concede to me that the veil over your eyes will be removed by the very hands that put it there, the clay that fills your ears will be pierced, I believe, by the fingers that kneaded it. it is then that you will see and hear. I suggest that you will not deplore having know blindness, nor regret being deaf and you will inevitably bless the darkness as you would bless the light. I’m with you on this my friend and I would benefit in ways I don’t even know were we to see a path away from this place. Please hold my suggestion close to you and feel the power and the love … it’s everywhere and you are a formidable and saving author of the life you are sharing with us. You’re the man! ….walter

I’m not sre what you meant by that.

I have since pulled out of it, and realized that he thoughts and decisions I made while I was going throuh the struggle has given me a deeper understanding myself.

I was fascinated by it because it was basically the perfect representation of my ideals: loving someone, with no regard to the biggest barrier that could possibly be between two people.

I wanted to experience it, but I couldn’t. it would have been my ultimate expression.

but now, I know a way to live it still, and let other people see it as well.
I will write. not fanfiction, going nowhere being associated with thousands of people staying behind, and obsessing, with no regard to reality (with some very talented exceptions)

I will make my own characters, my own story, my own reality in print.
