Thanks, all... there's some very good advice in here.
Axiom, this was the only time in my life I've used drugs to run away from a problem & obviously it didn't help any. Stream of conciousness writing sounds like a good idea, except that I might be scared to see just how disturbing any of my writings would turn out. =)
Tiltedbc, yes I am the proverbial nice guy, and I know where it gets us.

It is VITAL that you extinguish any fantasy growing in your head about this girl. I've been through this mania before. Sure, you're what she needs and will save her from her current situation etc... but the one needing saving is yourself. If you can take control of your own mind, this will make you a stronger person. If you can't, this is how you can begin a drug addiction, social problems, violence or suicide. WORK on getting past this.

I think this is very good advice, and I think this is where I need to focus.
I want to avoid seeing a shrink if at all possible. I will give it a little more time and work on these things myself... if all else fails, will seek help.
Thank you all, again.
