          @hakupony @purplephish20 I'm trying to figure out how to deal with fixation. So far I've gotten that I'm supposed to be self-aware. From therapy I understand there's value in self acceptance and in moving forward toward my life goals, but I'm still rather angsty. Why does being psychologically healthy take so much effort?

            @pony Well - the only thing I could use to attach that topic would be attachment theoryand the way humans deal with loss and grief.

              @hakupony I should loo into look and grief maybe. Since you mention it, I feel aggrieved by the thought of loosing what i'm fixating on. It's hard for me to draw the line between mourning the loss of fulfilling certain fantasies and repressing them altogether.

                  @hakupony I've read about the 5 stages of mourning. I feel like I'm somewhere within stages 2-4. When my mental bargaining efforts fail I feel anger or depression. The thing is, I [i]could[/i] fulfill my fantasies, but the price is far too high. I dread the possibility, even the likelihood, that I might eventually choose to disregard the consequences and seek fulfillment. Anger leads me in this direction, which I often find preferable to depression. Maybe if i could cope with the depression better i'd be able to make it through to acceptance.

                    @pony This is not what I wanted to say. The theory (which is mainly from Bowlby) is abbout how people develop strategies to form social bonds with other people. I guessed that fixation could be seen under that perspective. However, this theory gets used to organize things like when children get taken from their family in the least hurtful way...

                      @hakupony I'll look into that. It sounds like I might discover something useful
