| yesterday | comment | added | Trigger2931 | It's close but the wrong connotation Thank you though. I did figure it out eventually from your response though. Instead of Idea fixation it's Fixated ideation. Fixated ideation is a mental state characterized by an obsessive and consuming focus on a specific thought, idea, or topic that is difficult to disengage from | |
