I’ve always been an obsessive person whether it be a person, place or thing. I’ve done tons of therapy and all kinds of self healing but this is one of the biggest things I just can’t seem to let go of. I’m aware it’s a coping mechanism and I’m aware it’s unhealthy but shitttttttt it is SO hard to not become obsessive over the smallest things. 

I’m currently fixated on a person in a band I’ve never met… it’s annoying, embarrassing, ridiculous, etc. but the past few days has been consuming my thoughts. It’s honestly painful a lot of the times because it leads down a spiral of negative thoughts about myself and it’s almost impossible to stop it. 

Does anyone have any coping skills or things they’ve found helpful to stop the silly obsessions?
