I went through a stage where I was obsessed with a fictional character so much that they were literally on my mind 24/7. Before I did something, I would stop myself and as "is this what "" would do?". Then one night I got to the point where I started having conversions with them, imaging they were there.
It was right at that moment that I decided that I'd gone too far. So I stopped watching the show. I restrained myself from the internet so I could stop googling stuff about them, and I was in high school at the time so I had to do homework by hand for a while. Every time my thoughts would go to the character, I'd stop myself and think of something else, like homework.
I still really like that character, but now, I'm completely over the obsession.
It's definitely not normal, but I think that with the right amount of will power, you can beat it. If it becomes too much, give in and try again or speak to a professional.
Is it normal I'm obsessed with fictional people?
