🧡 September 2022 Hyperfixations 🧡
I thought it might be fun to keep track of these things!! Why? Well, because my brain is changing so often, I feel like I lose so much of what I actually enjoyed and how quickly things changed. This is my way of documenting it for myself, but also in a fun way for the like 2 people who actually enjoy my stuff and not just the things I reblog 🤣 Anyhow, on with the content!
This was a “slow month” because it was full of yard work and homework, but, in being neurodiverse, of course I still had obsessions/hyperfixations ✌️

Other Updates:
I decided to explore my gender identity / expression again!!
I “blink and you miss it” changed my name lol; I still like the name Anakin, but idk if it’s an every-day kind of name? We’ll see
I quit a job I hated after going through a long, long process of application, interview, background check, etc. for a job I think I’ll really like! It starts the first work week of October, so the initial review will be in next month’s post
For the first time since I graduated high school, I had enough money in my bank account that I actually felt proud instead of disappointed in myself
I started a new medication, and messed around with dosages, without having an anxiety attack over it (I did have attacks, just not over THAT lol)
I got a new diagnosis that actually makes sense for a lot of aspects of my existence: BPD, or BPD traits (my psych and I are of differing opinions on severity atm). So, now we’ve got GAD, ADHD, and BPD … lots of D’s for an afab person (I know, I think I’m funny)
Started a cosplay project while obsessed with Star Wars… I hope to finish it because Halloween is coming up and idk who else to be except the person I spent over $300 to look like (*cough* ALMOST-NAMESAKE *cough* ANAKIN *cough*)
Cut my hair… this should not be surprising to people who know me offline. This occurs once every 2 or so years. This time I still love it EVEN MORE nearly a month later!! That’s the new part! And, so what if it’s a mullet? Fuck off, if y’all lust after Obi-Wan while he had a mullet, why can’t someone do the same for me? 😡
Lost more weight, in a healthy way! Well… mostly. For a time I lost like 10-15 lbs in a week because I wouldn’t/couldn’t eat, but that was due to thinking I was going to lose my job, so that doesn’t count. Otherwise, I lost fat-weight and gained muscle-weight by doing yard work all month!! Yay!! (Except for the yard work part; landscaping in a desert climate sucks)
Got my wisdom teeth taken out FINALLY!! And saw a dentist for the first time since Pre-pandemic!! Woah!! — I got the teeth out because it was perfect to do so during the transition between jobs, and now I can start my Invisalign journey once I’m fully healed!
