Obsessiveness Filter: I fixate on and plan obsessively about moving to new (specific) places, and I'd like to know why.

However, periodically I do something that I find odd and that I can't find specific references to in information about OCD, depression or anxiety. I pick a place that I might vaguely like to move to, and become obsessed with planning every detail about it. [more inside]
