It’s been so long since I’ve had a hyperfixation that I forgot how much they suuuuuuuuuck. It’s all I can think about. No matter how much media I consume I just want more. It’s hard to enjoy other things. I’m not having fun anymore

My last one finally ran its course this week and wrapped up in a disastrous way, it’s weird. It’s, No longer controlling my life and honestly I think I’m all the better for it.

Hyperfixations really are the best or worst things in my life depending on the day. It’s fr like a drug, thinking about my hyperfixation gives me butterflies and a rush of dopamine every single time. 😭 But it also inhibits productivity for me bc I can’t get work done when I need my fix. 🫠

Yeah it ruins my performance at work, my appetite and my sleep and probably other things that I don’t notice. Even worse when you can’t stop thinking g about it all day and then when you finally get to it anxiety hits and rips everything away from you. Not only was your day shit but the one thing that was supposed to make you happy you are now terrified of.

i’ve had two special interests simultaneously, one since about 2017 and one since about 2019. one of them is an artist and i saw them 5 times on their last tour, one is a show which you don’t even want to know how much i’ve rewatched. it literally will never be enough i will never be able to get enough of it to satisfy my brain
