Obsession is it a typical bi polar thing.

ADHD/BP2 here: I wonder this myself because it has always—always been the case with me. Before my BP diagnosis/treatment, I would obsess over diseases I thought I may have caught in some unlikely way, and over certain people, often ones I didn’t know.

I still have the people ones; I’ve been pleasantly obsessed with one fairly well-known person for almost 3 years now, and I mean 24/7 imagination times. I hate even typing it out because it sounds so creepy and messed up, but I’m a loner and an incurable daydreamer and I’ve never known anything else.

Hobbies, interests, ideas, theories, paranoias, etc.— I cycle through them nonstop, with a few steady ones. So yeah, I’m thinking obsession is a thing for our kind!
