is there such a disorder for someone to obsess over things?

Question

for a very long time now, if I see someone like an actor or an actress In a movie or something I constantly lookthem up online, I talk about them a lot but it only really happens when I see them a second time. I currently went to halloweeen horror nights and I recently started to like this charactor and let's say I sign up for a we site I would have their name as my user name, they're all I would talk about. And eventally if I get tired of them I'll stop and after awhile if I see them or hear about them I'll begin it all over again. But please this isn't a joke I'm serious, its starting to get tiring, I can't rely control it sometimes :/

and if I'm intrested in them so much sometimes I try and dress like them and act like them but its not an everyday thing and its not obvious? I guess I can say.. But I know I am me n my own person and I'll always be me but the acting doesn't last forever

I thought OCD was something was completely different, like everything needs to be even, etc

I 14 years old, hopefully I grow out of it?

Answer 1

The only thing that I can think of is OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). It sounds like you have irrational obsessive compulsions, which are he main symptoms of OCD. It's not just the whole everything has to be neat and clean like a lot of people think it is. It's generally any irrational obsessive compulsions. Maybe you should try seeing a psychiatrist. There's no shame in it.

Answer 2

There is a condition called Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, OCD, but whether you need treatment for it is determined by how much it interferes with your normal life functioning, like if it keeps you from studying or working.
If you're really young you might just drive your friends crazy but grow out of it. If you're older already, and it's interfering in your life, go see a psychiatrist. I take medications for OCD/depression, so I've been there. The meds help.

Answer 3

This is NOT OCD. Please don't let anyone try to convince you otherwise.

In answer to your question, no. There is no specific disorder which is reflective of the behaviors you described.

A fleeting fascination with an actor or a movie is most definitely NOT OCD. In fact, it is not uncommon for adolescents (and those in early adulthood) to experience this sort of fleeting fascination with actors, fellow students, movies, etc. It is highly likely that you'll outgrow this developmental phase without incident.

Until then, if this is distressing to you, you would be wise to talk with your school counselor about it.

Hang in there,
