Obsession and Possesiveness
I am very affectionate to one of my Uncle, But the problem is that the affection has gone bit too far, I feel too lonely in his absence, I just want him to be with me 24*7 which is not practically possible.
I also feel jealous when he hang out with his friends.
I want him to hang out only with me, I just love him a lot but that love has turned into obsession and I am very scared of this extent of Obsession.
Please help me, I just miss him 24*7.
I want to overcome this obsession.
Thank you

Hi! It's good to see your awareness around your own problem. It's clear that you understand your uncle can't really be with you 24*7. But I want you to explore what are the underlying needs that are met when you're with your uncle. And what does that insecurity say when he's with someone else.
Exploring it all would be a bit difficult I understand. But your need to be with him is based on many insecurities, beliefs and attachment style which needs to be explored. Therapy sessions will surely help you understand these aspects in a much better way and will give a direction to cope with it without hampering your wellbeing and your relationship with your uncle.
Next Steps
Do book a few sessions with your therapist to explore more about your attachment style, about whys of your obsessiveness and possessiveness and about how to cope with all of it maintaining your overall wellbeing.

It is important to understand that the obsession might be combined with a compulsion- either a thought or an action. Once you are able to gain insight regarding the compulsion, it would help to write it down and substitute the negative thought or action with a positive distraction. However while recommending, it might be a struggle to put into action. Do reach out to a psychologist to help guide you through it.
Take care and be kind to yourself.
