I would say no. Usually obsession in ocd are things that cause anxiety

Well I mean the negative side of OCD causes anxiety....like I heard a lot of high level athletes have ocd, which causes them to drill and practice and think about their sport obsessively....so I think people with ocd may have tunnel vision a lot of the time, plus we’re lost in our heads so much of the time....I’m pretty much constantly obsessing about something, like a tv show or a project or a new hobby...the thing is obsessing about a tv show doesn’t cause me any distress so it’s not a negative thing

I Would say no! OCD always involve unwanted thoughts that make you feel scared and anxious. Im also a big harry Potter fan and at times, that was almost all I thought about! But it passes, so ENJOY this time you are "obsessing" about this amazing Story and try to get something out of it, like creating something or analyzing more the books and what they teach. I loved every thing about dementors and how you fight them... At times my anexiety was a dementor sucking my joy of life and I did my own patronum thinking about my most happiest powerful moments and that helped... Even I know this is not the correct way to fight OCD, this helps.

Fun question! 😊
Not sure if this is OCD or ADHD or both, but sometimes I get really stuck on a topic to the point that it's obsessive and somewhat debilitating but still fun. Does anyone else get caught up on random topics (in a slightly unhealthy way)? This part of my mental health issues is one I don't mind as it has contributed a lot of joy to me through different fandoms and groups in my life. Just curious what obsessions (positive) you guys have and if you consider it a blessing, a curse or a blerse lol

Obsession over packages
I don't know if it's necessarily ocd related, but does anyone else get super obsessive over the orders they purchase? For example I admittedly impulsively got a cheap refurbished ipad, iPad pen and a case. (All together it was like 120 some dollars, like you can't tell me you wouldn't impulsively do that too.) Anyway, everytime I get something online I always end up religiously checking where it's at. Sometimes multiple times throughout the day despite knowing that it likely is still in the same place. It's been really bad with the iPad though for multiple reasons. First of all, this is one of the first devices I've gotten with my own money. Second of all, the pen and case came in before the actual iPad so I'm getting impatient. 🥲 My mom has this issue too so I'm pretty sure it's some weird genetic.
