obsession or addiction?

pinklaces34

Hi guys, just wanted opinions on something. Basically a few years ago i started going on a bingo site and it got to the point where i was on there all the time and got into debt. I was just wondering in terms of aspergers would this be classed as an addiction or did i continue to do it due to obsessive behaviour? I am quite an obsessive person anyway, like if i start a new hobby i end up buying every thing that I can get for it.  I'm more inclined to think obsession because I managed to stop going on quite easily and then moved on to jewellery making.

Any thoughts? X

  • I have OCD, I feel that I have things that I need to touchbase each day with the object or subject.., it is a security thing for me. The object can be quite positive, or negative depending on the cycle I am in. On the positive,  I garden, plant, plant, plant, so I have a beautiful garden, although,  I KNOW I spend to much time there. On the negative OCD, I have a negative attachment to my parents house, which leaves me stressed.

    It is a very good question, as I FEEL my Autism is rooted in OCD, insecurity and fear.

    I always thought OCD was an addictive trait, without the stimulas factor, only motivated by fear,, not reward.

    Funny how the NAS never gives an experts reply and save us all going around in circles ? It is as if we are all down in 3rd class, were no one around the captains table or crew comes to visit ? Every new passenger(member), just joins the BOAT OFF NO ANSWERS... hell we DON'T KNOW ! that is why we joined the forum so we can find out that we can not find out.. bah !
