Very often I catch myself finding something to obsess about and obsessing over and over to the point of insanity. I think I do it out of boredom. Life can be so dull.
It can be a project, an idea, a person, an insecurity, just anything and I get so into it that I actually start imagining something that is not real. I think I end up causing myself pain in the long run from that.
I need to have better self-control. I told myself that so many times. It's better to just not give a damn about anything than force yourself to hallucinate.

This is such a great post. I look forward to reading much much much more! Very inspiring! My idea of a solution to the negative effect is getting the right input your brain loves that also creates great output. Then design your life to put distance between you and the negative-resulting input options. You know you have something good there, just remove the bad part and it will be perfect!
the sheer brilliance of this post is staggering...
Sounds eerily familiar. You're right: Sometimes it's best to create a distance from the things that drive the obssessions, be they people, projects, ideas, situations. And in some cases, just to give a damn.
