Obsessive Behavior

            Worries, doubts, concerns, and superstitions are part of everyday life. People can handle the stress of a little anxiety in their life. But when the individual becomes engulfed in a wild lifestyle of too much control, they can often be described as obsessive compulsive. Obsessive behavior does not always have to be compulsive but in many cases what one would call obsessive is really a mental disorder.
             Many people who are obsessive simply are zealous about a certain thing and think about it or do it a lot. When those rituals are designed to alleviate discomfort or dread in a person's life, then there is a psychological disturbance. Sometimes people who have obsessive habits can be characterized as having weak personalities but in reality they have a problem with processing information.
             People turn to obsessive behavior to fill a void that is missing in their life. Many times after a family member or close friend dies a person needs something to take their mind of the grief and give them something that makes sense to compensate for their pain. Other people turn to obsessive behavior to make a routine that can make their "out of control" lifestyle in control. In reality what the person thinks is in control can sometimes spin very out of control.
