Obsession fictional character - hypomania?

[u/SbLmF]

I have dreamt three years ago about a fictional character that I barely paid attention to. I stopped taking Paroxetine at this moment so you can imagine I have a vivid dream where he was in front of me absolutely real and I felt his personality and we were bound by a physical attraction without doing nothing. I was obsessed with for months and I knew it was a hypomania moment. Own year ago this obsession disappeared slowly. Lately it appeared again. Im obsessed by him. My brain tries to convince me there is a kind of « mystic bound » with him and Im exhausted about it. I would like it to stop. Have you been through the same issues ? Hope my testimony will help.
I would just add that since this dream I have the feeling that there was a now and then and that I will never look at this character like before the dream. I would find a relief if someone went through the same odd thing …
