Have you ever had a real "obsession" where you thought about somethin 24/7 for a long period of time? I did when I was 14 years old. Although it has since passed, I still to this day wonder why and how it happened. How many other people out there have had an obsession?
I don't mean, "I'm obsessed with soccer! I love it, it's so much fun!" I'm talking about you fixated on a person, object, or idea for months, 24/7- it just existed in your mind and you couldn't do anything about it.
At the time, I was writing in a journal, which at times would cause me to over-think and over-analyze things. Am I just an obsessive person? What is the deal with this?
Having the obsession was very difficult because I couldn't go out and have fun. While I was laughing with my friends, I couldn't be fully in the moment because the obsession was still there.
Also, I have found very little information on it. The only things I could find were by Freud and vaguely described.
