What was the most unhealthy things you've obsessed over...?

Post Reply New Topic

Gaming & internet, that's pretty much all I do,

After learning about the Holocaust in the 6th grade (I was 11 or 12 years old) I also started reading Holocaust memoirs, biographies, eyewitness accounts, etc. Threw what little faith in humanity I had left right out the window.

-getting drunk and high
-guys

-crime stories
-public speaking (fear)

People (when I used to be sick in the head )

Various illnesses, and I'm a hypochondriac. I read book after book on different diseases, worried that I might have one. Definitely not healthy for me, and I know it, but I do it anyhow.

I had a pretty big obsession with transsexualism, alternate sexual identities etc. back in middle school. I actually still find it fascinating, but it's definitely decreased in intensity. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with said obsession, but I always cringe a bit when I remember going on about it to people who likely weren't interested.

I also had a longterm, fairly intense infatuation with a person, but I tend to think of romantic/sexual longing as being distinct from special interests.

I used to obsess over death and suicide when I was 18-20 yrs old. And then I got sent to the psych ward when I was 19 which was a mistake. After that disaster, I kept my suicide obsessions to myself. For the longest time, I didnt understand why people wanted me to live yet socially torment me while I lived.

Other sorta obsession. When I was little, I used to obsess over my scabs. I used to peel them and obsessive over the dent in my skin trying to soak up the flowing blood to leave a dent in my skin. I used to peel my scabs a lot unless they were big, Yes weird I know. I still peel my scabs sometimes. The one on my ankle is taking forever to heel cause of that.

I was obsessing over peeling, cutting my nails since I was 6 yrs old. Never could have long nails cause of that. My fingers nails have bleed so many times that I think Im desensitized to the pain in that area. I also cant hang nails and bits of skin hanging. So I yank them off and my fingers bleed. A couple of my nails have weird ugly dents in them cause I have a facination with cutting them.

I stuck my hand into a blender once.

I really didn't mean to hurt myself. I looked in at it spinning and it seemed that the center part of the blade wasn't turning at all so I reached in and touched it to see. As soon as I touched it, it kicked my finger into the blades.

(Assuming by "unhealthy" you mean being 'too obsessed' with something), I say my unhealthy obsession would be Jewish celebrities.

his name was John.

Probably thermite.

The most unhealthy obsession I had is with girls who I had crushed on while in middle school and high school. Those crushes didn't turn out well because I was almost in trouble with law enforcement because they reported me to them I was stalking and sexually harassing them.

I didn't clearly see anything wrong with it at the time. But a 10-day suspension while in 10th grade and being put in an alternative school while serving my 10 days made me realize that my behavior was wrong. I had to find a replacement one which is pocket billiards while suspended.

Computer games. I can pretty much go through an entire day without food and water just stuck to my computer.

The most unhealthy thing I have ever obsessed over was another Aspie who doesn't have any interest in befriending me.

suicide.
