Hi there,

Speaking only for myself and the people I know personally, I can tell you from vast experience, that you don't "get" closure. You MAKE closure.

You have to be the one to stop the obsessive thoughts. If you can't do it alone, you need to seek help.

It is work, and don't let anyone kid you about that.

I can tell you that you are in the dozens of questions here... all the same more or less.

This is completely running your life for you, and that makes me sad for you. :-(

Obsessing about these things, which seem like a big deal in your mind, but are completely meaningless to anyone else, isn't healthy.

I am not saying they aren't important... I am saying they shouldn't be important, which means there is something than needs fixing to overcome this.

You have to ACHIEVE closure. It is something you have to DO... it doesn't just happen when so much of your life is wrapped up in such little things.

You are missing out on life. Picture this:

You are walking down a flowered trail, through a lush tropical paradise, next to a gorgeous waterfall... but you don't get to take in any of the beauty around you because you are reading a bubblegum wrapper over and over again, whilst keeping your head down to avoid any of the beauty around you.

You are concentrating on trivialities, while the wonders of life pass you by.

This is of course my opinion, but I hope you will see a counselor, and get your life back.

Take care,

DN.

I think someone reaches closure when they feel at peace with whatever their problem is. They can finally feel past it and they are able to move on and keep going in life. Im kind of confused at what youre asking, so I hope that helps :]

closure is not what this site is about. the idea is to get outside views or opinions on your problems that you may not have thought of so you can make a better decision. if you keep reposting the same problem waiting for someone to give you the miracle cure you will probably be disappointed since life has very few situations with miracle cures to them
