Well, it's nice to know y'all are doing so great. My post is going to sound like the mental downfall of this entire thread.

Okay, I can at least function again, let me get that across... No longer am I having sleepless nights, outbursts of tears, or an icy shield separating me from the rest of the world (well, it's still kind of there), or crying literally every day. But some things have not changed: I still think about Ennis and Jack all the time. All though I can entertain off-topics thoughts for a while, everything comes back to Brokeback for me. It's difficult to let go (and I don't know if I want to). I'm still posting here and other Brokeback forums; it's monopolized my spare time.

Cannot watch other movies. I've seen some movies after Brokeback that I enjoyed but I haven't loved any of them (except Driving Miss Daisy, although BBM is far superior). Cannot see Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger playing other characters just yet, even though they're such great actors and can easily sell most of their parts.

It's been a few weeks since I last watched the movie, though I have the DVD, and I'm about to lose my fucking mind. I am holding off for the perfect evening though; when I can get some peace and solitude in my living room (I don't live alone). I am contemplating reading the book again but I will most likely do that after the movie.

My computer background is still Brokeback Mountain, I am planning on making a Brokeback scrapbook, I still have the ticket stubs, play the CD, and have pictures of Brokeback on my walls...

I am getting better, thankfully, (at least I'm not an insulent basket-case anymore) but this movie still has its place, which hasn't decreased in size at all, in my heart.

It's been about a week since I last popped the DVD into the player. Like you, I'm trying to refrain from doing that because I'm afraid I'll get burned out. I don't want that to happen. Still I can't quit the movie though (obviously) because I'm still reading about it and posting about it on the Internet. No other movie has affected me the way this one has. I don't want it to stop.

Well at first I couldnt get enough of BBM.  I went out and bought the DVD before I took the one I rented back to the store because I couldnt be without it.  I have been on the boards and ebay.  I bought a BBM italian charm for my bracelet and when I'm out and start thinking about them I just look at it.  I still watch the DVD every couple days but I feel like I have a part of them with me now and so I'm not so obsessed!

JfT:
I don't think I'll ever get over this & why should I ? Its almost like an intense love affair you've somehow grown mellow with. I no longer let it absorb me as it once did, but its still very much wiith me.
I've learned a few things about myself because of the film & story & thats good. I'm more honest with myself & others & thats more than good.

korgriff:
 ;) I like your signature JfT.  Brokeback sure did get us all good!!!  I dont think that I will ever completely move past this but I dont have to and I dont want to either!  I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!
