i have a really weird problem and i was wondering if this is real?

basically, i get OBSESSED with people. mostly girls a few years older than me like fresh out of sem type. its a really gross sickness and it makes everyone really nervous cuz once i get obsessed i start annoying whoever it is and i have thoughts about her all day long. i so badly want to stop but i just cant. i see a random girl who in my opinion looks cute and for the next who knows how long all i do is talk about her. when i went to camp i was only friends with the staff members cuz thats who i like... now we have a few teachers who are young and single and i totally kiss up to them and everyone thinks im crazy and maybe i am but just cant stop.

my frendz r rlly annoying and they are always like "o is tht ur newest obsession?" and they make fun of me (not trying to hurt me but it duz) and i rlly wanna stop and get over these girls but i cant! from wat i read this cant b OCD but cud it be something else? (although i am the oldest in my family so maybe its lack of love and guidance in a big sister figure?)

o btw as far as i can remember my first obsession was as young as 1st grade- maybe even kindergarten.

please help! i think theres something wrong with me (i was talking to 1 of those obsessions last nite and i told her tht i think its a sickness and shes like "im glad you realize that"

o and one more thing: im ADHD duz tht make a diff?

Ive been looking into it, im finding a lot of stories and contradictory information so i think there are multiple possible causes. Are you willing the speak with a psychologist about this? If necessary, it may be possible to get limited help through anonymous writing. If not, can you tell a little more about this issue? I havent found much online, just personal stories mainly, but with more info i could try to do more research for you. One thing i did see was to channel your energie into other activities to take your thoughts and energies away.

Hey

 

I can be totally off the mark - but you should check out dependent personality disorder. So some research on it and see if it fits you. Now, don't go around diagnosing yourself, but sometimes it helps to see things on solid paper and gives you a better understanding of what you're dealing with.

 

Now I would bring up the simple possibility that you're gay and these are simply crushes and it's quite normal to get obsessed...but since you say you started since first grade, I'm gonna knock that aside.

 

So let me know what happens!
