I'm gonna describe something that I deal with.Maybe some people will find it a bit of funny but in reality it's not.:/ I can't find something similar or anyone who can relate to that.Well,I am obsessed.But as I said this kind of obsession is different.I am obsessed with a foreign country.Now you'll tell me: but it's not bad to like an other country.And I'll answer you no,it isn't.But there is huge difference between "liking sth" and "being obsessed"with sth.Obsession is a passion and passion is never good.And I feel that I don't just like this country,I am obsessed.
Now I will expain: It's been 5 years and all I wish is I could live there.Or sometimes I wish i were half of this nationality.No I don't like mine anymore.Every time,I try to find people from there and when I success(I've found many),I become very clingy and emotional dependent to them and it's annoying.I've learned everything,the history,the language,the culture,even their national anthem!! it's funny I know but it's true.Sometimes I go to chat rooms and I pretend that I am a person who lives there.Kidding people is bad I know,but it became an addiction.When I was younger I also told my friend a big lie.I also sometimes wear clothes with the colors of it's flag.I am really "in love"with this country and it's painful.... and I don't know if it's normal anymore.It's obvious that I don't like the life I live here.I am not ok with who I am and where I am now.It's like I'm living in a prison and this country will be my sign of freedom.Travelling there is my biggest dream,but liking it there since I live somewhere else,is my worst nightmare. I don't know what to think anymore but I feel really obsessed.I know when I just admire a country it's different cause I've admired many countries but it's not the same. What's your opinion? I don't even know if I want this to stop

Are u diagnosed OCD? Sounds like it could be that... I would talk to a therapist about it... I agree that is doesn't sound like a healthy obsession

oh, isee.
typically an obsession is something that we find we have no control over and seems to eventually encompass all areas of our lives.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
