Holy shit, it's already been four weeks that I've been hyperfixating?
What the actual hell?! When did it become March?
At least I'm managing it this time around. At first, I felt hopeless. I felt like hyperfixation might not be manageable, Like it's an uncontrollable feature (or bug?) of my brain that I have no say in. That's an incredibly frustrating feeling.
But, it seems like I've found some tools that are working to some degree. Tools that are helping me find balance, manage my energy, and avoid burning myself out on my fixation.
Maybe there's hope that it's manageable and sustainable, if not completely controllable. That I can feel healthy and balanced while achieving deep and prolonged focus. I used to think those concepts were mutually exclusive.
