Hey guys. I'm just curious if anyone has OCD, but only the obsessive part?

I have obsessional thinking patterns, but no major compulsive habits...Well, unless you consider listening to only one type of music, or making a ritual of watching a TV show at the same time everyday (I dont do this anymore) a compulsion.

My obsessive thoughts can be very intrusive. Sometimes they are pleasant, but other times not, especially when I'm trying to focus on something else. My obsessions revolve around different themes. Many of these themes, I have called Passions, because I had gotten really into them, and obsessed with them. I still think about them, but not as intensely. Is this making any sense?

Here's how I like to describe it. Think of fire. Passion, at least for me, is like fire. If it gets out of control, it becomes obsession.

However, obsession isnt always a passion, as I am sure many of you know. I dont mind obsessing about something I love. When its something that bugs me, THATS when its really intrusive!
