Obsessive was, still is, my natural state, and I never wondered why. I didn't mind, didn't know that other people could feel at peace. I always felt like a raw nerve, but then, I thought that everyone did. Writer and journalist Marianne Eloise was born obsessive. What that means changes day to day, depending on what her brain latches on to: fixations with certain topics, intrusive violent thoughts, looping phrases. Some obsessions have lasted a lifetime, while others will be intense but only last a week or two. Obsessive, Intrusive, Magical Thinking is a culmination of a life spend obsessing, offering a glimpse into Marianne's brain, but also an insight into the lives of others like her. From death to Medusa, to Disneyland to fire, to LA to her dog, the essays explore the intersection of neurodivergence, obsession and disorder, telling the story of one life underpinned and ultimately made whole by obsession"--Publisher's description. 600 10 $a Eloise, Marianne $x Psychology. 650 0 $a Obsessive-compulsive disorder $v Popular works. 650 0 $a Neurodiversity $v Popular works. 941 $a 4 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230912012656.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230708011537.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20221005014646.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220909011457.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=015BDFC2300511EDA406B4E81FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
