I just sent you a PM.. but this explanation might help. Looking back.. all of my obsessions would certainly be 'goal oriented'.. in the past the obsessions were in order to achieve a degree or a career. Or they are linked to a specific question I want to answer. And holy smokes yes... I share, share, share. I've usually end up in some sort of public speaking or teaching situation to allow me a socially acceptable means to talk about it.
For others... I apologize for swamping this thread. It's just these obsessions have been a major factor in so many aspects of my life.. including my current diagnosis.. and Icare brought up a few things that I never fully understood.

Hope this helps you a bit to clear things up and helps you do decide what things might be most important to mention to your doctor.  |
