I know I’ve asked this question before

So I know I’ve asked this question before but it’s like finding the final answer to this question is an obsession in itself ….so I get fixated on stuff like this week it’s video game addiction topics I will research about video game addiction stories until I tire myself out about them and last week it was getting a new gaming system and researching questions/topics about it until I’ve researched so much that I’m not even excited about said item anymore then it can go into ocd reassurance seeking so I get obsessed about researching ANY topic and it’s like when I get my fix im done with it and the next week it will be something new like why are we addicted to soda and it’s just a cycle … does anyone else deal with this? Is it part of my ocd or is it just me as a person please help

I swear I just asked the same question. Or stated this as a fact idk but seriously! I do the same things and I just search for hours, days about the same thing. It’s kind of exhausting. My brain has not been scratched yet on my current search for how to fix my Xbox 😭

ALSO TO ADD my brain will get fixated on diagnosis’s while I am officially diagnosed with ocd by psychologist my brain will say what if I have more like if I read something about someone having adhd my brain will go what if I do and I’ll research on those topics as well until I tire myself out and go to the next thing I feel like all I do is obsess

Existential/philosophical obsessions? Anyone dealt with this before? I literally feel like I’m getting better with it and boom I get triggered by something I read unintentionally on the internet or talks with others, movies or tv and I feel like I’m back to square one with a new existential obsession that I feel like I need to solve. I just am so frustrated I’m trying to go about this in the right way I’m trying but I just don’t know how to go about it right. My ocd has taken many forms and everytime it’s one I wish for the other it’s so wierd. Like right now I rather be dealing with my health obsessions then this. But if it’s not one it’s the others it’s like I’m addicted to ocd and juggle obsessions. I just want peace but idk what to do. Does anyone else feel like they conquer one obsession and a new one pops up? I feel like I constantly am in a loop I look at old notebooks and realize I’ve been jumping around the same obsessions for over 3 years. Insanity. I would love to hear what has helped you guys and what I you think I should do?

So this is a random question but I’m wondering if any of you guys suffer from this also. Do you guys ever just obsess over things in general? I’ve always been into true crime and recently I’ve been extremely obsessed with the OJ Simpson case. I find it fascinating while I research and learn about cases but I’m wondering if that’s still sort of a compulsion or if it’s something else entirely

Has anyone else become obsessed with something related to politics or news? For the past two weeks I can’t stop thinking about one issue and I end up researching it endlessly. And when I’m not researching it I’m ruminating on it constantly, basically from the moment I wake up until I go to sleep. I want to stop thinking about it because it’s exhausting but I feel like I can’t. I don’t know if this is my OCD manifesting or if I just have an obsessive brain and fixate on things. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Any tips on ERP for this?
