Scared to start watching a new show because I don't want to risk losing my current hyperfixation.

ADHD executive dysfunction, task paralysis, and burnout are really fucking up my life right now. Again. Old coping mechanisms and strategies (read: last minute panic and adrenaline getting me to work for 5 days straight on barely any sleep and tons of caffeine and sugar) no longer work for the nature of a PhD. I need to find a way to compartmentalise and hit hyperfocus (or any focus, really) at work. Activate Margo Madison Mode. MMM. M³. But without the treason.

forgot that being obsessed with fictional characters is not something normal people do. I hear someone say they’re too obsessed with a fictional character and for a moment I’m like “???? and what about it? isn’t that like??? normal???” then I realize that for a lot of people, it’s not.

I genuinely cannot imagine not being obsessed with the characters from the media I hyperfixate on and I genuinely cannot imagine not having a piece of media to hyperfixate on 😭

[usinglifeup]

A few times in my life I've had moments in between fictional character hyper fixations (rather than the usual gradual or sudden flip to a new or repetitive one) and felt genuinely lost, like my brain didn't know what to do with itself.

I always think of the description I saw years ago: Self-imposed deadlines don't help me, because I know the person who set them, and they're full of shit.

Fanfiction is awesome because you can watch your otp fall in love a thousands times , in a thousand different ways

[grenade-maid]

Unless your otp is a rare pair, in which case you can watch them fall in love six times, in six different ways.
