Is it normal to be obsessed?

Obviously, people get obsessed with things everyday. My question is, is it normal, to be so obsessed with something that you lose sleep over it, binge eat, drink, smoke and letting it take over your days and life? (its been a month now)

  • Im obsessed with a person. Its not like anything I've ever experienced, because you are right, i am cognitive and can control what i choose to obsess about or not. But this current obsession i have is almost, ethereal. I can be clinically diagnosed as crazy for thoughts like this, but honestly, wikipedia is a lot more potent than a prescription.

    Thanks IIN community

    Obsessive people usually have more than one obsession. That being said, being aware of your obsession(s) will allow you to control them, so that they don't control you. Mostly everyone is obsessive to some degree.

    obsession is a negative phrase and so rarely results in positive things. Too much of anything is bad for you and would mean that you are obsessed with something. unless your obsession has a positive impact (such as an obsession to help people in need) then the negativity of the obsession only affects you. Because too much of anything is bad for you and it would be like burning the candle at both ends...
