How do you deal with hyperfixations taking over your life?
Sometimes I’m afraid of doing new things because I can become so obsessed, I abandon necessary jobs and routines for like 2 weeks and then I need to build momentum back, it pisses me off a lot

Since when I was a kid and poor and had a random interest in topic X and asked my mom to go and spend some money to invest into that X only for me to be forever regretful and feel bad to see it all rot away sitting quiet in a corner whithout me touching it ever again… I just learned to never pick anything up in the real world and just sit looking at tv waiting for said will to dissapear. Simple.
Another way is to over focus on everything tech related that is contained to the internet or specific things that can provide endless hours and days of random deep diving on all kinds of weird things… For free, without ever having to spend a dimme.
On the job I try to sell myself into doing things that I can focus for a few days to learn about some random thing. But then when it’s over it’s freaking hard to start anything else for almost 2 days.
