Never thought I'd be posting about this, but I just feel sick to my stomach and hopeless because of how long I've been keeping this in.
Does anybody else really hyperfixate on a person/band/anything and then get super upset when you find something wrong about them? Like the "not wanting to do anything for weeks" kind of upset?
I hate to admit it, but it's absolutely wrecking me inside and there's nothing I can do about it because I can't really choose my long term hyperfixations.
This is usually how it goes for me:
• I find a really good obsession/get back into it.
• It consumes my life for months. It's my lifeline, taking up 60-70% of my thoughts every day, possibly more.
• Very swiftly, they become my role model(s). I get very passionate about them and it's the only thing I can compare myself too, even if I feel like dirt. Probably one of my only reasons to live too.
• I get a nagging itch to learn everything about the history of said obsession and the people behind it.
• Somehow, some way, I find a controversy/wrongdoing with my role model and I'm just absolutely destroyed inside. Sometimes it isn't even sensible to be so sad about or just a rumor, but I just spiral into wanting to kill everything inside and then myself.
• I tunnel into despair until I find a new obsession to latch onto and inevitably hurt myself with.
It's even bled into being a passive fear of mine. What if even the people I love and surround myself with IRL are the ones who are going to do things I can't tolerate? What if one of them could do horrible things to me?
Sometimes I feel like there are no more truly loving people on this earth. Except maybe the very kind ex-addict lady at my childhood church who treated me like my own person, never violated me like the others, and checked in on me when she caught wind of me hurting myself. I always thought to myself that her baby boy was lucky as hell to have a mom like her.
Hell, at one point I even considered her an angel because of the way she shielded me from my aggressive father and made sure I was okay. Not even my own mother had the guts to protect me like she did, and I had only known this lady for half a year before shit went down.
...Alright... Deep breath...
Yeah. That's it. Just wanted to get that off my chest, and I kind of didn't want this on my main blog so here it is.
