The Problem With Obsession

Annie Drexler: Unrequited love is much like obsessive love. It's manic. It's uncontrollable. We don't love to torture ourselves because we're trying to be loved. Even though it's torturous, you say, quote, sufferers do not desire help extricating themselves even though they claim to be seeking it. This is an illness from which nobody wants to be cured. All right? Why?"Drexler says she used her own diaries from 100,000 years ago in the book.
