I found a blog post about OHD - obsessive hobby disorder.

It's like I wrote it myself. My obsessions are always about comics, anime, movies and video games. To the point where I had to quit (Video games) recently to get a grip.
One comment really hit the nail on the head for me:
It is a mental escape from reality- just like sports or gambling and shopping. The promise of happiness is just around the corner. And the real payoff is the distraction from your real life that you unhappy with.
It is a distraction and escape from a generalized feeling of anxiety (and probably ineffectiveness and power over your life) that you very well may have been carrying around since you grew up in a dysfunctional household.
For me it wasn't a dysfunctional household but just that life has dealt me a bad hand.
