Celebrity Worship Syndrome

I have Celebrity Worship Syndrome. It's basically fangirling described as a mental illness except amped up to an extreme where it seriously messes with your feelings and affects your life. I don't think CWS is recognized enough so I want to raise awareness for the illness.

CWS: What is it? Celebrity worship syndrome is an obsessive-addictive disorder in which a person becomes overly involved with the details of a celebrity's personal life. Psychologists have indicated that though many people obsess over glamorous film, television, sport and pop stars, the only common factor between them is that they are all figures in the public eye. The term Celebrity Worship Syndrome is in fact a misnomer. There are three stages: Simple Obsessional, Love Obsessional and Etromanic.

1) Simple Obsessional: Simple obsessional stalking constitutes a majority of all stalking cases, anywhere from 70%-80%, and is dominated by males. This form of stalking is generally associated with individuals who have shared previous personal relationships with their victims. However, this is not necessarily the case between a common member of the public exhibiting celebrity worship syndrome and the famous person with whom they are obsessed. Individuals that meet the criteria of being labelled as a “simple obsessional stalker” tend to share a set of characteristics including an inability to have successful personal relationships in their own lives, social awkwardness, feelings of powerlessness, a sense of insecurity, and very low self-esteem.

(2) Love Obsessional: Love obsessional stalking is the category that most celebrity stalkers fall into. As the name suggests, individuals who demonstrate this sort of stalking behaviour develop a love obsession with somebody who they have no personal relation to.

(3) Erotomanic: Erotomanic, originating from the word Erotomania, refers to stalkers who genuinely believe that their victims are in love with them. The victims in this case are almost always well known within their community or within the media, meaning that they can range from being small town celebrities or famous personalities from Hollywood. Comprising less than 10% of all stalking cases, Erotomanic stalkers are the least common.

So do you have CWS symptoms?

Say yes to the following and you may have low-level CWS:

My friends and I like to discuss what my favourite celebrity has done.

I enjoy watching my favourite celebrity.

Learning the life story of my favourite celebrity is a lot of fun.

Agree with these more intense feelings and you may have a moderate case:

I consider my favourite celebrity to be my soul mate.

I have a special bond with my celebrity.

I have frequent thoughts about my celebrity, even when I don't want to.

Agree with these and you may be obsessed, borderline pathological and suffering seriously from CWS:

If someone gave me several thousand pounds to do with as I please, I would consider spending it on a personal possession, like a napkin or paper plate, once used by my favourite celebrity.

If I were lucky enough to meet my favourite celebrity, and they asked me to do something illegal as a favour I would probably do it.

I would be very upset if my favourite celebrity got married.

I know how much CWS can affect your life and how other people may not think you have a 'real' mental illness. I am here for anyone who thinks the have it and wishes to talk it out.
