It's that but then they don't have a Viewpoint of their own because they're not allowed to have a Viewpoint of their own on the left you have to tow the line all the way or they excoriate you! That's why nobody wants to call these assholes out once people start calling these assholes out and telling them to shut up and sit down they will not until then! That's why this election is so important because if Americans want to continue to have a voice and you better vote the Democrats out of office come November the 8th cuz if you don't you're not going to have a country anymore I mean we're almost at that point now! I mean if there really are any God fearing in America loving people left on the Democratic side y'all need to join forces with the Republicans this November and vote these evil politicians on the left out! What it's going to take us for parents calling the police on these schools for every time they try to teach their kids child pornography!

Obsessions may come and go, but they don’t always mean you live with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).

When you hear the term “obsession,” you may think of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). People may misuse the term to describe someone who, for example, has particular preferences about organization.

But obsessions can and do occur outside of OCD diagnoses.

Before digging into obsession psychology, it’s good to remember that not every obsession needs to be thought of as a dangerous symptom of a mental health condition.

Though several mental health conditions can include obsessions as potential symptoms, people often experience obsessions outside of a mental health condition.

If you feel you have experienced obsessions, know that you can manage and treat these thoughts and find relief with the right resources.

What is obsession?
An obsession is a recurring thought of something or someone, where it always seems to be in a person’s mind.

Obsessions may be a passing occurrence or a long-term interest, and may or may not be uncomfortable experiences.

Obsessions may often reoccur in your daily life as:

thoughts
dreams
urges
fantasies

Kevin Majeres, MD, elaborates on this definition, saying that obsessive thoughts could be disturbing or otherwise have negative connotations.

Intrusive thoughts
Obsessions may also feel a bit like intrusive thoughts — unwelcome thoughts that may feel concerning.

Most people have intrusive or unwanted thoughts from time to time. Not all intrusive or unwanted thoughts are obsessive, though.

Worries
It can be hard to distinguish between obsessions and worries. A worry tends to be something that’s within reason or that could have a possibility of happening.

Generally speaking, an obsession may take on irrational properties.

Obsessive behavior and symptoms

According the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.), you may be dealing with an obsession if you experience stressful thoughts or urges that cause you to try to make these thoughts go away or calm related stress.

These obsession hallmarks can relate to many of the symptoms of OCD, though having an obsession doesn’t necessarily mean you have OCD.

The most significant symptoms of OCD are repetitive compulsions that result from obsessions, which may lead to repetitive cycles.


What causes obsession?

Psychologists are still debating the origins of obsessions in the human mind. However, there are a few current hypotheses on the causes of obsessions.

Many people who experience obsessions show a genetic predisposition to it. One thought is that obsessions may be something that we inherit through our DNA.

Other experts think there may be chemical differences within some peoples’ brains that might make you more likely to have obsessions.

Environmental factors may also play a role in causing obsessions, especially if you’re experiencing high levels of stress.

OCD causes

Obsessive compulsive disorder can be inherited. Other things that can trigger OCD include:

a traumatic brain injury (TBI)
a bacterial or viral infection
stress

Types of obsessions

A person may experience one or more different types of obsessions.

Again, obsessions typically take on more intensity than a normal worry. Some of the types of obsessions include:

sexual obsessions
unwanted thoughts about hurting yourself or others
fantasies about death
worrying that you didn’t do something that you should have
worrying about doing something drastically wrong within a religion or belief system
constant anxiety about offending other people
fear of germs or sickness
fear of losing control

These common obsessions may also constitute OCD. While only licensed clinical practitioners should weigh in on whether your obsessions merit a diagnosis, remember that people who struggle with OCD often try to ignore obsessions by developing compulsions.

Compulsions


Compulsions are repeated behaviors with a purpose of trying to deal with obsessive or obtrusive thoughts.

Obsessions differ from compulsions, but they often go hand in hand. Obsessions may cause people to develop compulsions.

However, compulsions can take on obsessive or extreme intensity. For example, someone may feel they must clean and disinfect their whole house when the mail person drops off a package.

Here are some common examples of compulsions:

making sure you can’t hurt anyone — for example, by removing all knives from your kitchen

making sure appliances are turned off

making sure doors and windows are locked multiple times before leaving home

checking your body to make sure you don’t have physical symptoms

reviewing or going over events or conversations that have happened

Sometimes, people develop compulsions because they feel they can keep negative things from happening by taking these compulsive actions.
