To ensure this thread won't be closed, you must adhere to several a number of simple rules;
Please use spoilers when quoting a post with pictures and/or videos.
When posting large quantities of media (pictures or videos), please begin spoilering after the first piece. Grouping related videos in the same spoilers & labeling is recommended.
No reposting of old material unless justified
Posting any material with little or no relevent discussion accompanying it
No passion-induced flaming of each other because 'x said y sucked' etc.
Keep the expression hate of music individuals/groups to a minimal level
No 'pagetopping' in any form whatsoever, as it constitutes spam equal to posts similar to 'first'.
No vulgar fan fics or wet dream stories. It is creepy, weird, and it dehumanizes the people who you are here to celebrate/discuss.
Normal posting standards that you find throughout the rest of the site still apply and will be enforced more strictly from here forward (2012/03/11)
Due to the poor nature of this thread in the past, temporary two-day bans will occur more than often if people slip up.

Abnormal? Yes, probably. Harmful? I dont know - no one knows here, except maybe you (and that view might be wrong^^).
Overall, if you're seeing a psychiatrist there's (normally) a reason for that. You think to have (or someone thinks you have and convinced/forced you to go) a "problem". That said - a psychiatrist is a doctor like every other doctor as well. You need to be able to "bond" with him/her. If you can feel that bond - tell it. If not - get another psychiatrist, it's normal that you dont bond to all doctors.
Possibilities to mention it: what you do all day, what are your hobbies, etc etc. Also, saying "There's something else which I do a lot, but I'm not comfortable enough to speak about it (yet)" is a valid answer.
That said: Good luck, dont be afraid. Worst case he cannot help you. As in he sucks!

dont worry, the main job of a psychiatrist is to know what you are not saying and ignore what you are actually saying.
I probably wouldn't consider it a problem if you were still in your teens because you still have awhile before you mature and outgrow some things but I'm pretty sure you're old enough to realize that your unhealthy worship of Nicole could end up negatively affecting your life. Unless you have some other serious health issue and just use Nicole as your relief from said condition or something, that can be understandable. Otherwise, there's no point in hiding Nicole from your psychiatrist because it could be a source of your problems.
O yeah. Acceptance/Admitting is the first step as they say. Or was it denial?
Eh, honestly dude, I don't know if it'll be super productive. I mean, yeah, you should tell your psychologist everything, yadda yadda, but when I was regularly going to one, I feel like it was just pointless to explain some of the stuff I said. I tried to explain gaming and other nerdy shit that I enjoyed, and I felt like half of it went in one ear and out the other. If he asks about any obsessions or like, unrequited love or whatever, bring it up, but if that's not what you're there for it'll just be more hassle than it's worth, imo.
Hey KMD, I will be seeing a psychiatrist for the first time ever on Wednesday after being on a waiting list for like 4-5 months... And I'm wondering... Should I tell him about Nicole ?
ya print out the wet dream post and show it to him
I'm starting to come to the conclusion that what I should do is just be open and not try to "shove" the topic of Nicole in his face but rather let it develop. Like someone pointed out, maybe if he asks what I do in my spare time, I could then say I'm involved in promoting an artist, etc...
I think that course of action is what would have me the most at ease. However, I don't really like the fact that it depends on him having to ask the right questions...
Thanks KMD, you may now resume discussing idols, music and armpits.
well if they are very good and professional then you would naturally tell them about everything. Just go in with an empty head and I think you will naturally end up spending most of the time talking about the thing that is causing you the most anxiety, whatever it is.
Hey, I never liked the song, nor the video. Go back like 2k pages or something and you'll see, I posted my dislike for it. But since people were mentioning it starting to die out, I just posted stuff I've seen on my Twitter timeline. C'mon now... Why would I like Psy, he denied KARA of multiple victories on music shows...
