<p>Most people on this site don't seem to have celebrity crushes - a fact that always surprises me, given our celebrity driven culture. But many do. And some of us who do talk about this for 2 years on the forum discussion site entitled Longstanding Daydreams when reality gets in the way. Again it is as painful as a "real" break-up. And this has been confirmed by top psychiatrist/ neurologist. Your "system" - brain/ heart/ spirit - just recognizes that the intense feelings have been…</p>

And this has been confirmed by top psychiatrist/ neurologist. Your "system" - brain/ heart/ spirit - just recognizes that the intense feelings have been short-circuited. Be kind to yourself. It is a painful time. Remember we are here for you, as well as the others on Longstanding DD, I'm sure. </p> Thanks so much Roxanne.

<p>Check out Longstanding Daydreams in discussions. We have all been there. It is very painful when reality gets in the way. We have dealt with it by limiting the time we follow them in media - most of ours have been celebrities - and trying to come up with fictional "crushes" instead of actual people.

<p>Check out Longstanding Daydreams in discussions. We have all been there. It is very painful when reality gets in the way. We have dealt with it by limiting the time we follow them in media - most of ours have been celebrities - and trying to come up with fictional "crushes" instead of actual people. Your brain/ heart does not really distinguish between this and an actual love affair, despite the fact that you "know" the difference. You go through the same pains of separation as the intensity of the emotion you have experienced with them is now etched into your brain/ hormones. My sympathy for what you are going through. Despite feeling awful, betrayed, etc., you can not turn to friends for sympathy. No one else really understands. Let me know any way I can help.</p>
