Hello,

I need help, and I need someone to try to understand what I am going through.

All my life, I've gone through obsessions. First it was construction equipment when I was three, then sharks, then cars, then Metroid (a video game), then birds and Godzilla, then china and Buddhism, etc.

For the past years, my fixation has been on politics. But everything that I come across, it feels like it's all filtered through the politics lens. Everything is connected somehow with politics, or international news, globalization, the economy, etc.

I don't want this anymore, though. It would be so nice if I didn't have obsessions, but just multiple deep interests. Can anyone relate? I really want to get into physics, and I have other problems as well, but it feels like watching a documentary on time anymore, I just can't absorb it, like it has no more significance to me, even though it is an interesting subject.

I just don't want to be like this anymore. Is there any kind of medication out there that can help?

theorizing, and after all there must come a time to put something in to practice for it to be rewarding, be it creative or changing some habits, be the change you want to be :D , it can be as small as cleaning up your own mess or making your own meals

exercise, take fresh air, do make your body work, or your hands, to find fullfilment

Yes, as the previous poster suggested, find ways to occupy your time

> Exercise.
> Take courses.
> Do up chores that haven't been done.
> Join a club.
> If you don't have one, get a job.
> If you have a yard, start a garden.
> Take up a new hobby.

Hope this helps. :D
