Obsessed w/ Fictional Character

[TacoCat25]

I don’t know if this is OCD, but I have been highly obsessed with this fiction character. I think about him like 24/7, I draw him whenever I doodle, I have a fangirl account. I’ve never told anyone because I’m embarrassed. This obsession hasn’t made me slack in school, but I have come to the conclusion that it’s not helping my anxiety. Does anyone know a way to lessen the obsession without completely removing it from my life?

Exactly right!! The book “overcoming unwanted intrusive thoughts” echos what you just stated. Second to God, the book has been a life changer for me. Highly recommended!
