The patient experiences a powerful, involuntary fixation on a male classmate sitting on the second bench while she sits on the first bench. Despite strict conscious efforts to avoid looking at him and actively ignoring him, she experiences intense hyper-awareness of his presence, peripheral movements, and glances. This presence triggers sudden tachycardia (racing heartbeat) and severe anxiety.Maladaptive Daydreaming & Thought Loops: The cognitive distress persists throughout the week outside of classroom hours. When idle, resting, or trying to study at home, the patient experiences uncontrollable, vivid, and intrusive imaginary scenarios involving this classmate and the PW environment (e.g., imagining him looking at her, people gossiping about her, or accidental physical bumps/interactions).Somatization & Cognitive Fatigue: The continuous mental looping has manifested in severe, persistent tension headaches and an inability to concentrate. Trying to force focus causes her head to feel

Despite strict conscious efforts to avoid looking at him, you experience intense hyper-awareness, intrusive imagery and thought loops.
Trying harder to suppress or control these thoughts may actually be contributing to their persistence.
This does not mean you want these thoughts or that they define your intentions.
CBT and ACT-based techniques can help you reduce suppression, disengage from thought loops and redirect attention more flexibly.
A proper clinical assessment can help understand what is maintaining this pattern and create an individualised treatment plan

Hi there,
This sounds incredibly exhausting, but you are not going crazy.
Example: You're at home trying to study, but your mind suddenly plays a "movie" of him looking at you or people gossiping. Your heart races and head throbs, and the harder you try to force it to stop, the worse it gets.
Next Steps: Stop fighting the thought. When it pops up, just say, "That's my anxiety being silly." Splash cold water on your face to snap out of the physical loop. For long-term relief, please consult a Clinical Psychologist for CBT (you can easily book one here on Practo).
Caution: Be kind to yourself. This is an anxiety symptom, not a reflection of your feelings. Take care.

It’s okay to have strong feelings for someone, especially at your age. But if these thoughts are taking over your attention and making it difficult to concentrate, let’s work on creating some balance rather than trying to force the feelings away. Notice when you start daydreaming, gently bring your attention back to the present, and give yourself time for studies, hobbies, friends and yourself. We can also explore the anxiety and overwhelming feelings together in our next session.
Next Steps
Consult a Licensed Psychologist (RCI approved). You may consult me.
