start. Soon, he established a life for himself: he married, started a family and began saving money toward his dream of buying land in Colombia. Yet when he met Celia, a fellow student in an evening math class, his life began to spin out of control. Suddenly his infatuation with this new woman dominated his life, and he began to pursue her with a single-minded fervency that put everything else at risk. 'Over and Over Again' tells the story of Fabio Herrera's emotional crisis and the steps he took to begin rebuilding his world.

By sharing the insights he gained through his own devastating experience, Fabio Herrera illuminates a path of hope and support for others suffering from this baffling mental disorder.
