Does anyone else get so hyperfixed on something or someone for long periods of time to the point it physically and mentally hurts? It makes you happy, but it takes up so much of your life that you can't stand it? And no matter how hard you try to think of other topics, you can't?

      Just curious, are you talking about limerance? Like you're creating a view of them that you're super into, or are you referencing more like hate obsession like Malfoy/Potter?

"Yes, there are people who experience obsessive hyperfixation on a person or thing that takes up their whole brain and is all they talk about. They express wanting to stop but finding it difficult to do so. This can be associated with conditions like ADHD. Some individuals also describe a love-hate relationship with hyperfixation, where they enjoy focusing on something they like, but feel weird or empty when they're done hyperfixating and struggle to focus on anything else."
