You must indeed be feeling pretty low or you wouldn't think of yourself as a potential "creepy stalker". Bummer.
Let me reassure you that what you are likely experiencing is a combination of graduate study stress (even though you're on break right now), hormonal crises (I don't really need to elaborate, do I?), and general malaise because it's summer and you are still Very Far Away from many of your family & friends. So, acknowledge the discomfort and move along.
Now that you've done that, let your common-sense self realize that any artist or SFF person who attracts your attention ought to be flattered. All they would have to do is a brief web search to realize that you are one of the coolest people in this universe (definitely NOT a creepy stalker). I firmly believe that most folks would be thrilled to have you on their side and offering assistance with their biz.
You have never been at a loss for ideas (practical or not!) to keep yourself occupied. Put one of those fanciful ideas to work, and help someone else, too. Hang in there Alice. Keep writing. xoxo
