obsessed
Can't stop thinking
Obsessed describes a state of being consumed by a persistent thought, desire, or fixation.
Someone obsessed with a person, idea, or goal can't stop thinking about it: She's obsessed with true crime podcasts.
The word often implies unhealthy preoccupation, but casual use has softened it to mean simply very enthusiastic: I'm obsessed with this new restaurant.
