Yes, i get more obsessive when i'm hypomanic. I've had religious obsessions and renovation obsessions. But you're correct in trying to assess whether it impacts your functionality or not. That is the key question. For me, it does. I get acute insomnia and i can deteriorate into anxiety or paranoia or agoraphobia. It's fun when it starts tho. Sometimes it winds down gently back into depression. Crashing is no fun.

Your obsessions sound pretty fun. You have a wide variety of interests. Maybe you just have a bit of a magpie mind? You're right to see a professional as it's only them that can diagnose you. My info is just for sharing purposes. Hugs, Jane.
