Obsessed - I HAVE to know and I will NOT forget

I am really tired of this presidential election. Maybe not for the same reason everyone else is, but it is very hard for me to read news stories in mainstream media. I have been trying to step back for my own mental health.. Not out of anger, but the anxiety it causes from using fear on both sides to manipulate the American public. Using fear works to manipulate us, so I do not think my self awareness of feeling anxiety when I read political news stories is so strange. Fear causes anxiety - right? I have an anxiety disorder, so I am sure I am more cautious and aware of feeling anxious than those who do not deal with it daily.There IS one news story I just cannot get enough of, and this does happen every now again, that I get so completely...perhaps obsessed with a story? It has not simply just happened but been building over many weeks.I know myself. If the headlines disappear, nothing more is said, I will not forget. If years go by and there is not an answer? I will not stop searching until I find SOMETHING to satiate my mind. I am just like that when I get like this. I do not know why and trust me, I wish I could change this about myself. Like a horrible itch that I cannot scratch, but way worse than that.The Wikileaks story and Julian Assange. Slowly my interest has been increasing. I hate to write any type of political opinion in my blog but is it political? Wait - yes, it is very politic...
