Me when I don’t have an active hyperfixation: *sleeps too much* *barely any motivation to do anything* *feels empty and unfulfilled because there’s nothing to fill The Void*

Me when I do have an active hyperfixation: *loses sleep to research* *grades slip because I’m so focused on the hyperfixation* *has no motivation or energy for anything else* *ignores the growing mess in my room because that doesn’t matter to me anymore* *I only ever think about the fixation* *forgets to eat, drink water, and go to the bathroom regularly* *friends continuously call me annoying and ask me to talk about anything else*

#I feel like no one really talks about the bad parts of having a hyperfixation #it’s almost always like ‘teehee I know so many fun facts!’#and never really ‘I haven’t slept in 3 days and my rooms a mess and my friends wont speak to me and now I’m failing most of my classes’#but at least I can go onto tumbr dot com and gush about it there #people don’t get mad at me for posting about it multiple times a day here :)#I think this applies to autism special interests as well #adhd #autism #dont get me wrong the seritonin my fixations bring me usually cancel out all the bad things #but I just wish the bad things were talked about more (without stigma of course)#audhd things #audhd #hyperfixation #special interest
