That's exactly what I was going to say lol


I'm surprised at the amount of people who have had / got this obsession. I was talking to someone on Monday and they said they had the same problem.

Films. As much as I love them, it is getting expensive now.

I wish I didn't bite my fingernails so much when I get nervous, and I also wish I didn't have to check the walls and ceilings for spiders every night when I go to bed, if either of those count.

I've had something like that happen to me recently. I have a phobia of plastinated bodies, and ever since I heard that an exhibition of them is coming to my city I've been trying to desensitise myself to images of it (I know that I don't have to go to the exhibition itself, but there are also posters and adverts for it around the city). While doing so, my phobia seems to have developed into a strange phobia/obsession hybrid. I still feel very unnerved and a little bit sick whenever I look at the images, but at the same time I find myself looking out for them, and I can't stop talking and reading about it. Having an obsession like this is really not fun and almost feels more like an addiction, so I wish it would just go already! (At the same time, I know I can't completely stop looking at the posters or else I'll never become desensitised...)

well yeah, i'm currently obsessed with 2-3 things. one of them is a girl that i used to know, and can't get off my mind (i became very attached to her and may have loved her in some sense). its something im trying to push past but i can't at the moment.
