Understanding Obsessions

There’s not enough information out there about obsessions. Not just regular OCD obsessions, but obsessions with actual people. Most of the time when you hear about someone being obsessed with another person, you automatically think they’re a complete and total creep or stalker. You see them as a possible pervert or threat to the person in which they are fascinated by. No one ever tries to figure out what made the obsessor so fascinated by their obsession.

And I think it’s quite unfair.

I think people need to understand that for some people. We’re not looking to hurt the objects of our affections at all. In fact, we only want to make sure they’re okay. We want to meet them, and befriend them, and have them in our lives.

Perhaps you’ve never met a certain person, but you know of them. They’re well known so you see a fair amount of pictures and or videos of them. You’re intrigued. All you want now is to see more and more of them and know more and more about them to the point where they’re consuming your thoughts and you don’t know why you feel this way.

Does that make you crazy?

Maybe. But you still have your sanity. You still know how to read and write. You still know how to socialize and go about your daily routines, but in your mind and you’re heart you still can’t shake thoughts of them. You’re not thinking perverted or malice at all. You just day dream about being with the person and listening to them talk, hearing them laugh or even something as simple as passing them in crowded hallway and your eyes meet.

What do people categorize the obsessed person as? Mentally unstable?

People might think the person is making too big a deal of out the situation. People think it’s simple to just NOT think about something that weighs so heavily on your heart. People think it’s easy to just WALK AWAY and stop yourself from becoming obsessive….but it’s not.

Overtime your obsession becomes your drug.

You’re planning your entire life around someday getting to meet your obsession. It literally brings you to tears knowing they could possibly be somewhere having fun and living life WITHOUT YOU.

And on top of that, you don’t understand why you feel this way! The feelings are foreign and you’d do anything to make them stop and go away, but you don’t know how! You don’t know who to turn to because NO ONE understands.

What do you do?

Before I die I want to play a role in helping the world understand things like this. There needs to be more information on it. There needs to be more people coming together and helping each other beat their obsessions before they ruin our lives.

Cause if you’re obsessed with 3 siblings who live 10000000000 miles away from you and there’s a chance that you’ll never ever meet in your lifetimes, then you HAVE to get over it eventually. Or you’ll life will be HELL.
