Hey guys and girls,

Recently (it started about 3 weeks ago) I've fallen in love for the first time in my life and fortunately it's with a girl who is in love with me too (atleast, that's what she tells me, and to be honest I have no reason to doubt her). It's great when I'm with her, however, when I'm not, I feel not so well most of the time. I have an upset stomach and I'm eating a lot less then I used too (I've already lost weight). Also, I'm finding it hard to concentrate on my homework and I have obsessive thoughts, like I'm afraid she doesn't love me, I think she might be cheating on me or that suddenly our conversations are becoming more boring then before and she will become bored with me. I've also stoppped wanking because I simply don't feel the urge anymore (I was expecting the opposite to happen).

Fortunately I'm realistic enough to realize that I'm having these thoughts and symptoms because I'm in love, and I'm not acting on my thoughts in a way that might scare her off. I don't think anyone has noticed how I really feel yet. Normally, I'm a very relaxed and calm person (mind over matter and all that), something I'm proud of, so I'm quite annoyed with how I feel right now. Still, I only see her about once a week and I can't get rid of these feelings and physical problems when I'm not with her.

I'm sure I'm not the first person to be 'love sick' and it's probably quite normal, however, can anyone give me some suggestions on how to deal with?
