Crush Stopping dds

So I have had this crush on this guy, ever since he came in to our school which was like March. Granted it was a tiny crush that grew. Well this week my dds have been out of control and I did not really say muh to him this week. Also my thyroid issues and stuff were horrible. Well today in the middle of ELA, I noticed him smiling at me twice when I had looked over at him for a secound. A bit after that, my stomach started fluttering, in fact it is fluttering just thinking about it. I just kind of felt happy and confused. I went home and tried to blame it on my thyroid and was a but better about the dd controlling but still a bit out of control. Then I gave up and texted my friend and told her all about it and stuff. She laughed an said I sounded like her before she dated her boyfriend(Who are one of the most adorable couples you will ever meet) and she said we would make a cute couple. Then later I just could not stop thinking about him, and was on Facebook. I was so sad that he was not on but later me him and my best friend talked for two hours . The whole time I was smiling and now I can not stop and my dd urge is completly gone. I guess Ivstarted dding because I felt lonely and sad. Well whatever it is, this crush is stopping the urge.

If its a crush or actual flirting or the beginning of a relationship with a real life person that I actually talk to it tends to make them go away. However if it is a crush on either a celebrity who I obviously will never talk to in real life, or with someone who I don't actually have the guts to talk to in real life then it makes them worse. Most of the characters in my DDs are actors or singers that I like. My main character (the one I play) dates a lot of these people. All it takes is for me to see someone I think is cute on tv or something and it triggers a DD. This used to happen a lot with like the jocks and "popular" guys in high school who I never actually spoke to but thought were cute. They'd just get incorporated in my DD.

Comment by Stacy on April 20, 2012 at 10:41pm: Generally my DDs stop temporarily when something like that happens too. Use this as an opportunity to see what its like without them and enjoy it. I once stopped for like four months because of something like that and then I was an idiot and purposely forced myself to start doing it again just because I was lonely and wanted someone to talk to. It felt awkward when I first started up again but I made myself keep doing it until it felt normal again. I don't know why I ever started again. I really wish I hadn't.
