Hello, question asker. I am honored to answer your question.
Since time immemorial, it has been said that one should get married and start a family. When faced with a girl you like, the questioner feels that they cannot like a girl they cannot get, and it feels like a million painful suns. But have you gotten to know the girl and found out how she feels about you?
Tell me, did she have feelings for you too? And what if you confessed your feelings and she rejected you?
The questioner needs to decide how to handle this. If the other person agrees to be with the questioner, should the questioner work hard to bring a good life to the other person?
I congratulate the questioner on overcoming 10 years of depression. After 10 years of depression, the questioner has proven they can overcome any challenge. There is no difficulty the questioner cannot face.
After 10 years of depression, the questioner will undoubtedly experience difficulties integrating into society, feeling isolated, and experiencing intense emotions. I will provide the questioner with a reassuring pat on the shoulder and a boost of strength.
Pain is a part of life. It will lessen with time.
Since the question was asked on the platform, we cannot have a detailed chat. However, we can provide the questioner with some advice on how to overcome their longing and pain.
Forget the girl.
The OP must realize that he is in a situation where he is thinking about the girl, in a situation of great pain, indulging himself and unable to sleep at night. This is the only way he can move forward and forget the girl.
You can't stop thinking about the girl.
You can't forget her. Trying to forget only makes you miss her more.
You compare every girl you know or meet to her.
You are unable to get interested in other girls, even when they say they like you.
You know you're always writing about this girl or drawing her face.
Every song you hear reminds you of her.
You check her social media a few hours a day.
You know you'll never be happy without her.
Admit your feelings for the girl.
You need to admit that you like her and think about her. Think about why.
The questioner likes her so much that he can't stop thinking about her. He needs to understand the root of the problem and solve it.
I will also list some of the reasons why I like someone else for the questioner to refer to.
The girl you know is not as good as she is. She is very special, and everything about her matches your aesthetic sense.
The questioner wants her. Be patient. People are divided into groups, and there may be a special girl by her side who better matches the questioner's aesthetic sense.
If you meet another girl who is better than her and more in line with your aesthetic tastes, you will transfer your infatuation to her. If not, your infatuation will fade.
There are plenty of other girls out there.
You need to make a plan to forget about the girl.
You need to find out why you are obsessed with the girl. Then you need to make a plan to stop missing her. It may not be easy at first, but as long as you make a plan and stick to it, you will succeed. Here are some suggestions for what to include in your plan:
1. Cut back on your meetings and contact with the girl.
2. Keep your distance from her and eliminate any opportunities for interaction.
3. Don't contact the girl. Block her messages.
4. Spend less time thinking about girls. It's that simple. The less time you spend on them, the less you'll miss them.
5. Track the time you spend thinking about girls every day. If you spend 8 hours thinking about girls today, reduce it by 30 minutes tomorrow, and continue to reduce it every day. Keep track of it.
6. Give yourself a time to forget about girls. It can be one year or six months. If you can't stop thinking about them, extend the time.
Spend more time with your family and friends.
Spend more time with your family and friends, especially those who have helped you during the 10 years of depression. Your closest family and friends will make you feel loved and needed, and they will distract you from that girl.
Spend some time hanging out with friends, or go to concerts or movies together to distract you from the girl. If you can join a new training program, do it. Set goals for yourself to achieve. As long as you achieve your goals, this state of hard work will help you get out of the obsessive state.
Tell your friends how you feel about the girl and why you're so infatuated with her.
Let them give you some advice. If your friends know that you haven't been doing well lately, they will try to hang out with you as much as possible, or even force you to leave the house.
If you're too sad to leave your home, you can also invite friends and family over for a get-together. Talking to them about your recent situation and theirs will help you feel better.
Take on a new life.
After 10 years of depression, the questioner has a lot to do. They must plan their career and life anew.
Once you've recovered, you may feel uneasy about facing new challenges. But now that you've moved on from your previous situation, it's time to break free from the shackles of the past.
You can face a new life positively and find the meaning of life. This will allow you to enter a new state, become more energetic, and, slowly but surely, you will stop thinking about the girl as much.
Use your free time to enrich your life. Try singing, sports, dancing, traveling, or photography. Find an activity you like and immerse yourself in it. This will help you release your emotions and become more comfortable in your current life, as well as making more friends.
Laugh more, watch more comedies, or hang out with interesting people. Laughing will help you put things in perspective and realize that not missing someone is really true.
You must adjust your mentality and stop relying on alcohol to numb yourself. This will only make the current situation worse. If you are unable to successfully try to forget the girl and may even experience a relapse of depression, you must seek the intervention of a professional psychologist.
I am confident that my answer will be helpful to the questioner.

I understand that feeling, it's like you're torn between what's good for you and what your heart wants. It's hard to focus on rebuilding your life when someone you can't have is always on your mind. I guess the first step is acknowledging how you feel and accepting it as part of the process.
The pain you're going through must be intense. It's almost like you're back in that dark place again, but this time it's different because now there's hope mixed in with the hurt. Maybe talking to a friend or a therapist could help sort out these tangled emotions.
It sounds like you've been really brave facing everything alone. Sometimes we just need to let ourselves feel all the feels, even if it's messy. But maybe setting boundaries with yourself and others can help manage those feelings and keep you on track with your goals.
You've already taken a big step by recognizing your behavior after drinking. That shows a lot of selfawareness. Perhaps finding healthier ways to express your emotions, like writing or art, might help channel the pain into something productive.
It's tough when you meet someone who makes you feel alive again, but timing is everything. If they confessed their love, maybe it's worth exploring why now isn't the right time for you. Communicating your thoughts and situation honestly could prevent misunderstandings and future heartache.
