@Atticus, I never saw Vertigo but I get what you're saying, having read the film plot on
Wikipedia.
A Limerent film that I closely relate to with my present situation is
As Good as it Gets, with my "character" being portrayed by Jack Nicholson, and the lady for which I
am Limerent for being represented by Helen Hunt. By no real coincidence, I just received an
As Good as it Gets DVD yesterday, that I bought on ebay. I am a bit OCD, but not nearly as afflicted as Melvin Udall(Jack Nicholson).
I have a mental health appointment on July 15th with an
LCSW, it is a video chat, I guess like Facetime. I'm looking forward to talking in realtime face-to-face with someone.
