I struggle with what I call "fixations". It's where I gets obsessed with a topic or action (sometimes a negative one, sometimes a positive one) and can barely function in other areas of my life or make rational decisions because of it, and it can last for anywhere from a day to weeks. There are usually normal periods in between them, and whether they are positive fixations or not, they usually have a negative impact on my life. Usually the fixation involves me thinking about, talking about, and heavily researching the topic. I haven't been able to spend much time with my psychologist yet so I don't know if this is the symptom of a disorder.... Does anybody else do this?
