When i get a thought or want in my head i always become obsessed with it and i try to do school work (college) and end up researching on the net or mulling over it.It can be from anything from wanting a pair of shoes to new computer.the latest is wanting a pet and i'm waiting for a yes or no from the people i lease the place by. it says i have to ask for permission so have written to them 2 months back, emailed the real estate and still havent heard anything so just waiting and will try ringing (have tried ringing but they said to contact a property manager who i emailed in the end). i keep looking up the local pounds and pet shops online and checking my email and phone for answers. I know I'll be disappointed if i cant have a pet but I really really do want a pet for a companion since i'm living by myself and can see myself taking good care of it etc, no probs there. its just waiting and wanting and i'm so inpatient. whats wrong with me? how do i get over being impatient? am i mad?

You're not mad. A bit lonely maybe, yet not mad. You need someone to love, to canalize your whole attention on, everyone does;)...don't worry, take it easy, and stop thinking you're mad as you're not. Hope you'll be able to get your pet soon:)

You aren't mad, I think you have just grown up in the "instant gratification" generation.
Parents (like me) have done an injustice to their children by granting them everything they want when they want it and prevented them from learning patience.
I am currently trying to undo what I have done to my kids regarding this, they are 13 and 14, and it is very, very hard.
By the way, good luck on getting your pet though!!

No, you're not mad, just overanxious.
