Yes, last year I had the worst obsession: Serial killers.
Which led me to the psychologist, and then I got the diagnosis.
I have an obsession with the number 18 since about 5 or 6 years ago.
I'm trying not to think about it, because I get extremely... odd, and if it's in public, WORSE. I get the classic autism look: writing the number, while rocking, while talking to myself, and sometimes humming. I can't hear anything but what is inside my head. My sister worries very much when it happens. I wish I could erase this obsession too.
My obsessions tend to be too extreme.
I have the serial killer obsession, too. I think it's wonderful, if only because there's plenty of material available about it and it can easily branch off into something else if I start to get bored. It's also fun to sit on a bench at my university and compare the people who walk by with murderers I've read about. I have some amazing hobbies.
