Ok first of all OCD is a mental illness while what you may have is an addiction to a video game. The test to see whether or not you are addicted is to see if A. It is affecting the rest of your life i.e. you don't go out with friends so that you can play, you refuse to eat dinner cause your in the middle of a game... and B. How long can you go without playing, if you HAVE to play daily you may want to wean yourself off the game.

I get "obssesed" by different games all the time and it usually lasts a week or so then I move on...

Hope this helps.

OCD is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It does sort of mean you're obsessed with something, but not in the way you're thinking. People with OCD, for instance, can be highly aggitated whenever they think of germs and dirt. They have to repeatedly wash their hands over and over again like, 8 times or until they feel their hands are clean. Some people just have a daily routine and if they mess it up, they have to repeat the one part. Some of them try to ignore the urges to repeat the task, but some feel if they don't, their parents might die or something horrible could happen, so they repeat it. I remember watching on TV once people who had it and this one girl put butter on her bread like, 4 times and kept smearing it until it was even, and another man who was getting up in the morning, had to keep putting on his deoderant over and over. Another girl also as she entered and left the house, she had to tap the top of the door and in her bathroom she had to turn of the left-side of the room's light first and look to the left like she was looking at God, because she was afraid if she didn't do those ritulas, her mother might die.

But anyways, I doubt you have OCD. You're just really in love with that video game, haha. Don't worry. There's this one game on the Disney Channel I won't stop playing sometimes. It's the Hannah Montanna Photography game one where you have to take perfect pictures. I've never made the high score list, and I'm determined too, haha.

Anyways, I hope I helped.

I think it's just a phase of something you like. You know how when you buy something that you love, like a t-shirt or something, then later you don't even know why you liked it.. your situation kinda seems like that to me, you probably won't even like it in a couple weeks if you don't get tired of it before then. You're def not stupid.
