Hi
Thanks for reaching out. You are attached to one person, and you are always thinking of him. You feel anxious when you don't talk to him, and it is coming in the way of daily activities. It is okay to be fond of someone and it is also okay to be attached to someone. You want to be able to focus on things and not have thoughts of him often. It is important to know for how long you know him and what kind of relationship you have with him.
As mentioned earlier it is okay to be attached to someone but avoid being too attached to the extent that is affects your well-being. It is important to understand yourself better and recognize your self-worth.
If being completely attached to him is making you feel extremely anxious consult a psychologist for counselling sessions.
Next Steps
Consult a psychologist.
Health Tips
Contact me for counselling sessions. Along with counselling I can suggest natural foods to calm the mind.

It's common to get attached to one person. It becomes a problem when it affects your routine.
If you are feeling anxious, take a few minutes to clean something. Go outside for 5 minutes. Shorts bursts of activity can release that anxious energy.

Hey there!
I can understand how difficult it must be for you. Attachment is not a bad thing. We often feel attached to people we love and care about. But the problem arises when anything is affecting our lives to the extent that we are not able to function properly. However, I suggest you to seek counselling to work on the difficulties you are facing, surely with little help and guidance you can handle your relationships & yourself better.
Next Steps
I suggest you to seek help from a counselling psychologist.
Health Tips
While feeling anxious I suggest you do deep breathing and focus on the inhale and exhale and keep counting your breaths. 10-15counts of breaths every few hours will help you relax and focus better. And everything can be worked on you just need to take one step forward to reach out and seek help.

Hi Girl....First of all Cheers to you on reaching out to someone.Let me share my views on this.Emotional attachment is a normal part of development. You are driven to connect to those that provide a sense of protection, comfort, and validation, which is absolutely fine.This isn't very uncommon.However,Attachment can become toxic if you rely too much on others to satisfy emotional needs. The goal of healthy emotional attachment is finding a balance between getting your emotional needs met by yourself and by others.
There is a thin line between healthy emotional attachment and unhealthy emotional attachment. We all have the need to emotionally connect and bond with others. However, it is when these needs direct us to abandon our self-worth, peace, and freedom of choice that this connection can become unhealthy..
Next Steps
You can reach out to a Psychologist/Therapist for further clarifications.
In therapy, you can work through the origin of your attachment issues and have a better understanding of why they impact your current relationships. Also, you will be able to explore how emotional attachment affects existing disorders such as depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, or post-traumatic stress disorder. Another benefit of going to therapy is that it provides a safe space to process emotions and feelings.Good Luck to you.Take care.

It sounds like you might be experiencing an intense attachment to this person, which can be related to your attachment style. Attachment styles are patterns of relating to others formed in early relationships and can influence how we connect with people later in life.
It's essential to recognize that while attachment is a natural part of human relationships, extreme anxiety and difficulty focusing on other aspects of life might indicate an unhealthy level of dependence. It could be beneficial to explore your attachment style with the help of a mental health professional, such as a therapist or counselor. Therapy can provide a supportive space to understand and address attachment-related issues
