I just came out of a very passionate relationship. I am now having a lot of trouble concentrating at work. I just obsess about this person every minute. I have a job that requires a lot of concentration and where it is easy to get distracted. I'm aware that time will heal the pain of breaking-up. I'm OK with feeling sad at night. But I really need to get some work done during the day. I just can't: I stare at the wall, check email, look up definitions on Wikipedia, anything but work! Do you have any suggestions to increase my concentration level? I've tried everything! I see my friends almost every evening, I even take prozac. Nothing seems to help. Maybe you???

Dear Obsessed,
It sounds like you are attempting your best to find a healthy place after an unfortunate romance. Oftentimes it is hard to concentrate when our hearts wander. I find that sometimes a quick fifteen minute fast walk in the middle of the day and a nice cold glass of water energizes me and allows me to focus. I also recommend making lists. Take a larger project and break it into a list of small goals of fifteen minute increments that may make it easier to concentrate.
Best of luck,
Andie
