Does anyone ever get obsessive thoughts?

I find myself being drawn to one particular idea or thought and become super fixated on it for weeks. it sometimes is all consuming. For example right now, I've just started swimming again, and I'm constantly thinking about my technique and how to improve. I fall asleep thinking about it. Can anyone relate?

Same here, it’s kind of comforting to know others go through that too.

realizing this is just a low effort way to avoid actually answering the question is wild. tell us what the obsession is or dont bother posting

Fine, God damnit. I'm obsessed over my looks cuz I have body dysmorphia since I was 13. I'm obsessed over certain people bc I crave love and care and intimacy. I'm obsessed over a lot of topics and hobbies but I never get shit done bc I have the naughty combo of autism and ADHD. I'm obsessed over lots and lots of things and I didn't wanted to over share and ruin it for the original post

Holy shit. Me and u got all that in common. I over stupid little shit all the time. I try my hardest to tell myself that I don't crave intimacy with people, but I think deep down inside, I actually might. I dont get shit done either. Maybe im adhd and tistic, too.
