Obsessions. Are they unhealthy??? Are there ways to keep them from being unhealthy while still appreciating the object of your obsession???

Dictinary.com defines an obsession:
1. the domination of one's thoughts or feelings by a persistent idea, image, desire, etc.
2. A compulsive, often unreasonable idea or emotion.

Now I find myself feeling that I am not obsessed with the object, idea, image etc that is on my mind as it is not always on my mind. It does however bring me great joy, excitement and it is something I can share to a degree with others. There are many people on the internet with a much greater interest. I merely wonder, as no body in my social circle has the same obsession as me. Some understand and have their own fondness, but on the whole, most people just think it's silly, which causes me to act out in secret, which causes even more excitement.

To clarify, my obsession is a tv show...for those of you who know me...you know what it is.

So how do we define when something is becoming an unhealthy obsession and when it is merely a way of using up free time or even a way of interacting and sharing experiences with others???

To be honest I don't know. I know what is the most important and that is God. It does concern me when I find myself more excited by other things, but it's the way people are I think. We have a higher connection to the physical side of life.

In conclusion, Stargate rocks! Sam and Jack are my faves and I'm a bit of a nut.
