Madly in Love, but Gotta Leave

Dear Brian,
For the first time in my life, I am madly in love...the only thing is that he is not good for me. I
love, respect and wish I can be with him but I can't. My situation is pretty intense to explain, but what I want to know is how can I get over him as fast I can (apart from time). I am so hurting, losing sleep and my appetite to eat. I am HARD hit. I succumb to tears while walking home. I am beginning to drink a lot and put myself in high risk sex in the aftermath...I have to stop this...I believe I can do it without professional help...I just need suggestions as to things I can do to help myself... Please offer some help! I need to stop hurting.

Dear Anson,
You need to get over a man? Try imagining him in unflattering and unsexy situations such as picking his nose for dinner, or fighting a losing battle against chronic flatulence. Dwell on those images enough and you may loosen the hold he has on your heart. But I'm not the only queen who'll tell you that the only cure for a man is another man. So your best bet is to get yourself another man.
