Obsessive thoughts (teenager)

My 18 year old son is obsessed with storms especially as we have a steam behind our hedge which he is desperate to see flood. He missed one a few years ago then missed another three weeks ago where half a months rain fell in 20 mins. Since then he can’t get the fact he missed it out of his head. It is dominating his thoughts, affecting his sleep and making him depressed.

Any advice gratefully received.

Hi, sorry, but I'm not sure from your post whether you're asking for advice regarding helping your son to pursue his special interest, or helping him to reduce it or drop it altogether. Could you please clarify what you meant?

Reduce him tho long about it all the time . I don’t know whether or not it’s possible to drop it although that would be lovely. I wonder if it’s related to the fact that he is going to uni in a couple of weeks, although it’s in his home city.
