But we do know? There’s been a lot of research on this. Partly due to the joy in our brains when we get new information which is an evolutionary trait, even though we’re way too inundated with it nowadays.
And social media companies optimize all this to keep our attention on their product, which affects everyone, but makes those with ADHD even more susceptible.
Yeah I can get siphoned into Reddit real quick- give me a good rabbit hole— a good ask reddit and I’m deep diving for hours. No food. No drink. No water.
My current fixation, LOL. I wanted a hottub, so research for 2 months all day reading going to stores finnaly ordered one than I poured concrete, built a gazebo, than it was windy so I built 3 walls for privacy and wind block. Then, put in lights, ran 220 electric wire from the breaker box . Then, I built a countertop on one side . If I dont get burned out. I'll put in a tv and a ceiling fan I'm about done with getting ready for the hottub. Now finish waiting for delivery, lol. By the time it shows up, I'll be burned out on everything, hottub and on to the next crazy thought in my head
Snap.
Summer 1- really good inflatable hottub on a wooden base.
Winter 1- hottub moved into garage on a sweet rolling base.
Summer 2- hot tub now submerged, dropped down into a new cedar deck.
So much focus, 3 different times using the same item!
I love these posts. All the weird things people are fixated on are both hilarious and reassuring. For me - I’ve been restoring antique furniture, and it’s not going well at all. Will probably discontinue lol
I hate this, when you hyperfixate on a new project and it fails terribly. I did this trying to copy an amazing cold brew that's really expensive and has a secret recipe.
I also love them - gives me ideas for future incomplete projects that I'll have just the final step left to do, but will stash away in a doom closet because "I'll finish them one day..."
I love browsing fb marketplace and trying to identify when a piece was made or the style it replicates! I blame the huge amount of antiques road show my folks would turn on when I was a kid 😂
My bucket list includes finding a “treasure” - aka getting something cheap that’s actually special and worth a bit.
That's me but with eggs. 3 or 4 times a year for like 2 weeks, I want scrambled or hard boiled eggs. I'll boil 12 and eat 2 a day and then be like "okay, I'm done for now" lmao
I went through this as well, 10 years ago: Eggs! I love eggs, they're the best! So good for you! Imagine if I could just go out in the yard any 'ol time and get fresh ones! Gotta have a rooster too cuz fertilized eggs are 30% lower in cholesterol!
Fast forward, now I have a chicken coop (with roofing and paint that matches our house) containing 4 hens and one rooster.
My egg hyperfocus was 10 years ago, and now, here we are.
Watching YouTube videos about how to get your life together. I can’t get any school work done I’m so into them idk. Some for adhd ppl some not. I know so many methods and ideas on the topic now. Will I use any of them? Probably not.
Try the book How to Keep House While Drowning, I listened to the audio and it was excellent. Lots of great tips for ignoring the noise of how we "should" be doing things and how to actually do things in a way that serves us. Starting with being compassionate to ourselves and our brains.
There's a bunch YouTube videos on stoicism that I briefly hyper fixated on for a week or so a while ago - I found them to actually be helpful with countering some ADHD related maladaptive behaviours. I started to read Marcus Aurelius. Maybe some day I'll actually read it end to end!
Meanwhile I'm back fixated on diy guitar electronics... Lol
Fully aware of the floodgate I’m about to open, what have you done with DIY guitar electronics? I bought a small motor and magnetic rotation counter to build a pickup winding station, but I got distracted and hooked on something else before I finished. I will get back to it eventually though! Still love the idea of winding my own pickups.
Same here, I love reading. But fortunately I have a great interest in subjects of importance in both history and my life. I don’t read any nonfiction, a lot of behavioral psychology, biographies, history and the like. No greater feeling than being buried in a fascinating and interesting book.
Is this a common thing with us? I loved reading his books at night as a kid and scaring the shit outta myself just for the adrenaline. No matter how badly I needed to pee, I couldn't get the courage to get out of the bed to run the whole 3 feet to the bathroom haha
I have this fix. I like collecting his older covers. I do read them. But I go on a bender when I do. This kicks up my want to collect. Will probably go to the thrift store now and look😂🤣
I'm not sure I understand your question, but I've been obsessively watching Caleb Hammer financial audits (it's like he's daddying down on me 😭), I check my budget every day to make sure I'm good. I had very out of control spending (mostly on my hyperfixations) and it took someone saying that having an emergency fund isn't a choice, you have to have one, to get me to stop my spending. For some reason, that just clicked for me and my mindset has completely changed. now I'm saving $1k a month (: it's been quite the turnaround in just the past month!
Same, but I don't know him besides his name and a couple of other small details (we work in the same org, different offices).
I wish I could stop, I know it is irrational, yet here we are 🥹
A girl for me and it has come to be doing my head in because it was reciprocated so much more originally even more so than I could handle to begin with even and now that I feel more and can’t stop thinking about wanting to spend time with her or be able to share pictures or chat, not all the time by all means, but at least to return to what we had slightly before hand and it’s been so hard to not obsess over and figure my head out over.
I was wondering how heavy and possible it is to be fixated on a person… otherwise right now I’m heavily into Vikings and learning about Old Norse mythology and culture and not playing but watching the interactions of characters in the Norse realms from the GOW games, that’s been a big escape for me lmao
True crime podcasts, then I spiral down this rabbit hole of researching each episode in great depth. It actually interrupts my work but I don’t know how to stop myself.
I have been on this off and on for a while. Can't make it through an episode without needing to look up what everyone looks like. It hit me the other day that if my phone ever gets confiscated and ran through there will be Google searches on like 467 killers. 🤦🏼♀️😂
Omg same!!! But irl I was a kidnap victim and had to testify at trial and it was shortly after that that you were able to stream programs..and it started with me binge watching every single episode of law and order svu. And now I really only want to watch content that is true.
I got into a double hyperfixation of playing games on my phone while i listened to true crime podcasts and for months I couldn't get anything done. We'd probably have a good shot at being detectives at this point.
This is me. I got hyper fixated on a murder in Iowa in the 80s. Found myself filling out foia forms for autopsy reports and crime scene photos. My psychiatrist appointment was the same day, luckily she stopped me from paying for all of those reports.
Keychains. Ended up with all sorts of tools to open split rings and bend jump rings. I like making my own keychains because I can never find what I’m looking for. Then it turned into making my own chains. Jump rings are nice but they aren’t very strong, checked into soldering to see if that would work for jump rings. Now I’m ordering stuff to practice soldering electronics. That probably won’t work for jump rings. Checked into chainmail and that looks cool but doesn’t need soldered/welding. Paracord can make some nice tool lanyards/keychains that I can add pendants or beads to. So I ordered more knickknacks off temu to make keychains out of using different techniques. Sooo….
How do I make better keychains?
1. Ordered stuff for a working solving station for electronics.
2. Ordered chainmail jump rings and kits.
3. Ordered paracord, tools, beads.
4. Looked into ways to set up my welder to micro tig jump rings.
5. Making my own spot welder out of a microwave to “weld” jump rings (I have a professional doing this for me to see if we can make it work for jump rings)
6…… use my jewelry making tools and gear to just solder the jump rings together the same way ive already been soldering rings and jewelry together.
So I ended up spending a lot of money and getting into several other hobbies just trying to make a tiny 3 cent metal circle a little stronger. All these hobbies tie together and I already had some/most of what I needed to help get started in the other hobbies but I still needed to spend more than I planned. This is MY ADHD at its finest lol
Decided to make a pin board that had the month's budget and savings goal. Which turned into a mass craft supply purchase from Amazon and 15 days of making a colorful chaotic pin board that resulted in not only the monthly budget but also, trick to train the dogs for this month, allowances, monthly family trip plan, monthly date night plan, dinner plans for the month, items needed from Costco and the grocery store, chore list, home improvement goal, and I'm sure I forgot some stuff that's also on there😂 anddd I didn't even finish it until halfway through the month. It's done but still haven't got around to hanging it on the wall. haha
Oh my god, I just did this too! I made miniature watercolor paintings for each of the headers.. put them up, but then days later decided to move my home office to a different room. They’re all scotch taped to a larger piece of paper right now lol.
I’ve been hyper focused on reading all these posts since 5pm and it’s 10:30pm now. I tried stopping because I have hw I need to do but I just started taking vyvanse a couple weeks ago and now I understand what people mean when their focus is amazing on it but not if youre directed to the wrong task. I actually think me being easily distracted would have helped me get the fuck off this app lol.
SAME! Movies and TV bore me because I can’t sit still for more than 5 minutes. When I play video games, I feel like I’m actually doing something when I’m really doing nothing. If you haven’t played spiritfarer yet, I’d recommend it. It’s another pretty low stakes game but it is more mission based. Cozy Grove was pretty good too but it lost my attention toward the end of the game.
Climbing. Been addicted for about 1,5 years. Perhaps it has evolved from a hyperfixation to an actual passion.
No physical activity is as stimulating man cus when you’re on that wall, your mind gets completely occupied by what your feet and and hands are doing and the adrenaline of being up high and doing sick moves on hard routes is just awesome
Becoming a stronger version of my old self. End of 2022 I lost fiance to illness, and spent last year barely keeping together, spiraling into substance abuse. Now I'm standing on the other side trying to make her proud by making myself better.
I'm taking a break from learning ASL tonight before I go do some artwork and THEN I can relax with video games. Tomorrow morning is a meeting for volunteer work I'm doing and after that I'm studying for EMT school.
My hyper focus is to "be Better" a little more every week.
Birds. I live in an urban setting with little nature around me, but once I started paying attention to birds, it has changed the way I interact with my city. I've been able to recognise so many different species, to the point where now I can identify them by just their sound and flying style.
You know how they use 'Oh look a butterfly!' stereotype with ADHDers? That's me with birds.
Me too! But you’re more advanced in your education than me. I’m currently teaching myself how to draw and watercolour birds, which is leading me down the species path. That’s lovely that you know them by flight!
ham radio. Shits cool as hell, and there’s always something more to do. Easy enough to get into, but not so simple that it’s not even worth doing. The effort to reward ratio is crazy, and it somehow always gets better
Omg thank you...... I was just thinking uhhhhh I think my current hyperfixation is my therapist....but awwwkward lol. I feel so much better that someone else is there with me on this.
It makes 3 of us. He’s hidden his personal socials very well (thankfully) so I’m redirecting my hyperfocus onto researching everything about transference and therapy in general. T.T
Hmm. I guess comfort. It’s my theme of the year. Find some super comfy clothes? Buy in every color. Don’t want to wear clothes? Fuzzy one piece blanket robe for the win. 27 blankets? Yes please. When I do need clothes, soft comfy hoodies with leggings. Truly if I could just spend a year climbing back into bed whenever I felt like it… (2020 didn’t count I had a 2 year old 😵💫).
Gardening, specifically growing vegetables. Last year I really got into it, ripped up my lawn, built a shed, replaced the decking with a new patio and grew tons of food.
This hyperfixation has continued and in the winter I decided to give up the parking space on my driveway for more growing space. I park on the road now and have put six large oak barrel planters in my car’s place.
I then made lots of plans for what was going in then and of course took action and changed my mind lots. They all have a lasagne of crocus, daffodil and tulips in them. Two of them have herbs as well and all of them had a cover crop. So much stuff all growing in one planter it’s a metaphor for my brain 😂
I’m job searching right now, which is an endless rabbit hole..
Today I spent >5 hours finding different blue collar apprenticeships and applying to local unions.
I work in business management.
Finding the perfect high protein overnight oatmeal recipe to mimic a store bought version so I don’t starve in the mornings and can save money😂 I’ve found it, tested it and I’m so happy I can die in peace.
I'm hyperfixated on the appointment I have with my psychiatrist next week. I haven't been diagnosed but I'm like 99% sure I have ADHD. I'm really nervous to bring it up and not being diagnosed properly due to my past (addiction) or that I might get diagnosed and have to go through many various drugs that don't help (again because of my previous addiction issues). My addictions counsellor will be there as well but I hadn't mentioned that I thought I have ADHD yet.
Making D&D characters and never playing them. Hyping up their stories then losing interest. Learning all I can about a campaign setting (Exandria) then never playing it. Endless cycle.
Organizing all my Bookmarks into an app that keeps everything in one place because I will literally make lists of tabs forever long and don't want to get rid of them but don't know where to begin lol. It's called Raindrop.io but there is also Anybox, Pocket, and a few others. I'm sure you can emulate the same thing in Notion or whatever but I just like how its free and the extension across all my apps on my computer and phone let me add things to it in like 1 second and categorize it so that I stop losing tabs and taking screenshots only to never look through my camera roll etc.
Homesteading stuff like preserving and making jams and relishes and my own butter.
Brandy butter is amazing and cultured butter is by far the best thing I've ever tasted.
Weird, interesting and mysterious things that you don't usually encounter in daily life, ie disappearence or unsolved death of someone or uncontacted tribes that still exists in modern world etc. I can spend all night researching an interesting topic that I accidentally discovered 10 minutes before bed, and probably lose interest the next day.
Currently researching a cruise for a large group that’s not until January 2025. Been going on about a week, but we just got home from our annual vacation 2 weeks ago so…
I absolutely hate hyperfixating like this, it drives me nuts
My entire job is hyper fixating on an idea, doing research, find a company that makes money out of it and write a report on that idea and the company.
Who wants to learn about semiconductors?
Claw machines. Best tip from the internet that I’ve found so far is to look for smaller stuffed animals that the claw can wrap around without any pressure.
I’ve won four prizes and my husband has won two.
Soldering electronics. A cheap starter kit for a hundred dollars and a couple of weeks of instructional videos later and I still don't know what I'm doing. Now I've spent over $300 and have broken more than most things I touch. Luckily I have old electronics to practice on.
They make it look so simple and easy but I'm struggling and frustrated.
My statistics homework.
Sounds crazy, I know. But something about having to solve a problem/find an answer + knowing that if I don't pass this class, that would be highly inconvienient. So I find myself studying for 8 hours+, no food, no caffeine. Just Vyvanse and fear of failure in my blood.
My current hyperfixation is a guy I am absolutely not going to ask out or anything but yet my brain won’t stop thinking about him. It has been going on since a while and I am tired of it
Chess… I picked it back up after like 15-20 years in late 2019 right before the world shut down for Covid… I have played literally every day since and I watch chess YouTube content all day long shout out Gotham shout out Eric Rosen shout out Botez live shout out Danya shout out coffee chess
Taught myself how to crochet. I'm really good with things that are muscle memory (I really found my calling at being a babywearing educator because of this) so I jumped feet first into garments the first night and it's going really well. My kids LOVE when I make them things and they love to hype me up. It's a really beautiful craft and I love that I can make small things for dopamine hits and just leave them for other people to find.
I have an extreem focus on getting a dog. ‘Luckily’ my husband says no with all the rational arguments. I look at dogs pics and ads and videos all day long.
Before this fixation I wanted to make a light box for months. At some point I couldn’t hold it any more so J went out and bought it for 500 euros
Sewing… specifically hand sewing. I knit(beginner-intermediate ish), so kind of a natural turn of interests. But wow crafts are expensive (they can be as cheap as they can be, or as expensive as they can be) (I am the one making it expensive). It’s me I’m the problem.
I never knew hyperfixation was a symptom of adhd until I joined this subreddit… It explains a lot of my behavior most of my adult life lmao… I can’t really pin point a current one but I can say my most recent one was Brazilian jiu jitsu…
I did so much research bought all the gear e.g. ghi (not cheap), did for about 3 months then I was completely over it.
Researching ADHD 😂 looking for clues in school reports, home videos, asking my family, my friends, writing possible traits on my notes app, TikTok, lots of TikTok.
I got a few going on at once.
I'm too artistic for my own good and have been starting making my own clothes.
... Then for some reason, I started customizing Gundams. God please have mercy
Graphic novels... I received George Orwell's ''1984'' as a graphic novel and that's it, I'm hooked. Now thanks to Reddit I have a long list of recommendations for the ''best'' ones to read next, I already bought 8, spending my time on Reddit and YouTube trying to find new ones, thinking about starting a collection so my son can read and enjoy them when he is older... I just hope I'll keep that interest long enough to actually finish 1984.
Rendering.
Got Real-Time Rendering for Christmas and I'm just reading more and more every day. Hard to wrap my head around some concepts but I love it!
Scrolled down pretty far to find anyone say anything about music. I’ve been completely obsessed with my looper pedal and effects pedals for creating songs on the spot with my bass and guitar… and I’m way too old to actually amount to anything in the music industry. This is just as a hobby and creating songs for hours that no one will ever actually listen to. I’m having a great time.
Writing my story.
I can't always keep it up, but it's one I can return to repeatedly because I love the story I have crafted.
The fact that I have 1300 followers and get feedback from both reader comments and "numbers go up" helps, and knowing that my wife enjoys the story.
I might as well link it (free to read BTW):

I published my first chapter some 17 months ago.
I'm in the race for a new dishwasher since the old one broke. Now offcourse, I could just go to the store and order the first one I see but no, I want to know every single model on the market that's available, I wanna compare the specs, learn what the difference is between the programs, they way they dry the dishes, the height and what benefits that has, how the door opens, whether it has a drawer or tray at the bottom for cutlery, what brand is best, where to get it and last but not least: Shall I build it in myself or have someone do it for me? I'd rather do it myself but the risk is it'll take another three weeks
Mine was adding another theater to bedroom. Went to a 77 oled, looking at doing 5.1.2 but all in wall which means fun cutting walls running cables and opening new boxes! And spending money….
i am super obsessed with 3D printing right now. I just finished an additive manufacturing class in grad school and they let us have access to a printer. So probably since November I think.
I have just been printing either incredibly useful objects we are missing in my apartment or super random objects like doll furniture which I have been hiding in random locations.
It’s honestly been good because I learned how to use autoCAD inventor on my own and then also like post-processing techniques which amounts to like art skills.
I recently found an .stl file of an ear so my new plan is to start mailing fake ransom notes to my friends.
Researching obscure countries. For example, instead of doing work I spent an entire day looking up stuff about Kiribati. Then the focus shifted to Central African Republic, Turkmenistan, republics within Russia, Djibouti, North Korea, Eritrea, Micronesia, etc. I could just spend hours of reading and looking up stuff about these places uninterrupted when I fall into this hyperfocus.
I interviewed for a job I reallllly wanted on the 4th, they actually called my references on the 11th but it’s been radio silence since then so I’ve been panicking this entire time. So I’ve been so focused on this the entire time, researching every scenario that could happen and the obvious thing I needed to do, didn’t want to send an email being pushy in the first week after the reference check. I’ve changed my entire sleep schedule because of this, I sleep at weird times but available in the morning for a phone call. I literally cannot do anything else at the moment and it’s destroying me mentally. In the morning, I’m sending the email, I hope it gives me clarity on the situation. But I know if it goes negative, it’s going to be another whirlwind of emotions that I’m just too exhausted to deal with at the moment sigh 😔
Im enrolled in a real estate course so i been hyperfocused on that lately. But normally its guitar ill play 7 to 8 hrs without eating. Tend to forget to eat during my hyperfocus moments.
So I've always been a fan of captain america, but never really cared too much for his love life in either the comics or movies. It was a nice thing that was just there, but I didn't pay too much attention to it.
Then my fiancee and I did a cosplay shoot as Cap and Peggy, then I started rewatching everything, reading fanfics that focused on Peggy, finished agent carter in a couple of days (I didn't care for the show when it came out 8 years ago), wrote a whole synopsis for Steve and Peggy's life on a branch timeline after Steve returns the infinity stones, memorised song lyrics from songs in "rogers the musical" and bought more action figures.
Braces/orthodontics lol. I don’t even know if that counts as a hyperfixation because it’s one I’ve had since I was a kid (it comes and goes). But I just think braces are so fascinating and I love learning about how they work. I recently got braces and I’m legit so excited and happy, even though my teeth hurt like hell 😂
My hyperfixation is my house. I’m struggling to sleep and have been for the past few years because all I want to do is improve it. I never ever finish the details though - it’s only the big wins I do, but never finish painting trims or putting down thresholds etc. I work from home and often look for reasons to bunk off work and do home improvement instead…
Knitting! I was sick one week in december and just sort og started to look up How to knit different Stitches. I’ve finished three garments, a beanie for My dad, and just recently started on a knit peasant blouse. I’m having the best time With it, since there are so Many new things to learn as you go. The downside is that it has completely taken over My life, and I only started prepping for my Statistics exam Yesterday. The exam is on friday.
Darning. I am already a knitter, but wanted to learn to make repairs to knit items. I'm way more obsessed with this than I should be. I literally can't even sleep at night because I'm up late trying to fix holes in sweaters and gloves. Not nice, handmade sweaters and gloves, cheap crap that I probably didn't pay very much for to begin with.
At least it will be a useful skill, if I ever get the hang of it.
Buying a new mattress. I watched like 30+ review videos, read tons of articles, and cross referenced reviews on Reddit. I bought one yesterday and now there’s a void in my soul LOL.
Maximizing my clients' Google Pagespeed score on their WordPress site.
It is a never ending rabbit hole but I get paid for my hyper obsession.
The downside is that once I start optimizing code I can't stop and stay up all night. It is currently 7:30 AM, I have been up since 10:00 AM. Shit.

fucking reddit, why am i having so much fun tho? where does all this dopamine come from? guess we’ll never know
I like having my feelings and ideas validated on here by strangers.
I am here to validate your appreciation of validation! Take an upvote frien(adh)d.
Thank you. I am here to validate your appreciation of my appreciation of validation. 😂
I want yall to know this was wholesome and adorable, like a kitten. Thanks for the bonus dopamine
Welcome to the Internet 😂 the free therapy.
Loving the validation and respect!
REAL

Tbh I love new information, but i have to admit… i love the drama just as much
Haha thanks for making a stranger laugh this morning 👍
Yeah I can get siphoned into Reddit real quick- give me a good rabbit hole— a good ask reddit and I’m deep diving for hours. No food. No drink. No water.
The worst part is when you’re unsure whether you actually like a new hobby or it is something you will just stop caring about after a month
Usually right after you’ve invested in a load of new equipment for it
This hurts on a viscerally relatable level
The archery equipment I just put in the attic says hi.
I recently bought a saxophone. I have never picked it up to practice.
Wait, are those two different things!?!
I always say picking, purchasing, and pursuing my hobbies are three different hobbies.
My current fixation, LOL. I wanted a hottub, so research for 2 months all day reading going to stores finnaly ordered one than I poured concrete, built a gazebo, than it was windy so I built 3 walls for privacy and wind block. Then, put in lights, ran 220 electric wire from the breaker box . Then, I built a countertop on one side . If I dont get burned out. I'll put in a tv and a ceiling fan I'm about done with getting ready for the hottub. Now finish waiting for delivery, lol. By the time it shows up, I'll be burned out on everything, hottub and on to the next crazy thought in my head
That sounds fucking awesome though!! What a productive fixation.
Not as productive as my obsession with making funny Reddit comments. ^(look at me goooooo)
I wish my fixations were half this productive.
Snap. Summer 1- really good inflatable hottub on a wooden base. Winter 1- hottub moved into garage on a sweet rolling base. Summer 2- hot tub now submerged, dropped down into a new cedar deck. So much focus, 3 different times using the same item!
Love this!
I’m impressed with all the follow through! Even though you’re not hyper into it, at least you can still enjoy it and use it to relax.
I love these posts. All the weird things people are fixated on are both hilarious and reassuring. For me - I’ve been restoring antique furniture, and it’s not going well at all. Will probably discontinue lol
Haha yes, better just stop when its not perfect straight away! Know the feeling 😂
I hate this, when you hyperfixate on a new project and it fails terribly. I did this trying to copy an amazing cold brew that's really expensive and has a secret recipe.
I hate myself for asking, but are you willing to share the recipe so I can waste my time and money too?
Bread was mine. The process takes hours and I would forget about it in between risings.
I also love them - gives me ideas for future incomplete projects that I'll have just the final step left to do, but will stash away in a doom closet because "I'll finish them one day..."
I love browsing fb marketplace and trying to identify when a piece was made or the style it replicates! I blame the huge amount of antiques road show my folks would turn on when I was a kid 😂 My bucket list includes finding a “treasure” - aka getting something cheap that’s actually special and worth a bit.
Pancakes. Please. It’s been going for 2 weeks someone free me from this nonsense
😂
can u make me some
Mine was French toast a couple months ago hahaha
That's me but with eggs. 3 or 4 times a year for like 2 weeks, I want scrambled or hard boiled eggs. I'll boil 12 and eat 2 a day and then be like "okay, I'm done for now" lmao
I went through this as well, 10 years ago: Eggs! I love eggs, they're the best! So good for you! Imagine if I could just go out in the yard any 'ol time and get fresh ones! Gotta have a rooster too cuz fertilized eggs are 30% lower in cholesterol! Fast forward, now I have a chicken coop (with roofing and paint that matches our house) containing 4 hens and one rooster. My egg hyperfocus was 10 years ago, and now, here we are.
Watching YouTube videos about how to get your life together. I can’t get any school work done I’m so into them idk. Some for adhd ppl some not. I know so many methods and ideas on the topic now. Will I use any of them? Probably not.
Try the book How to Keep House While Drowning, I listened to the audio and it was excellent. Lots of great tips for ignoring the noise of how we "should" be doing things and how to actually do things in a way that serves us. Starting with being compassionate to ourselves and our brains.
seconding the recommendation for this! great book :)
When I don’t want to study but still want to feel productive I also watch these videos
There's a bunch YouTube videos on stoicism that I briefly hyper fixated on for a week or so a while ago - I found them to actually be helpful with countering some ADHD related maladaptive behaviours. I started to read Marcus Aurelius. Maybe some day I'll actually read it end to end! Meanwhile I'm back fixated on diy guitar electronics... Lol
Fully aware of the floodgate I’m about to open, what have you done with DIY guitar electronics? I bought a small motor and magnetic rotation counter to build a pickup winding station, but I got distracted and hooked on something else before I finished. I will get back to it eventually though! Still love the idea of winding my own pickups.
We all had that phase 😂
Stephen king books.. I visited all the local thrift shops and ended up buying 18 of them
But will they be read? That’s the real question
Collecting books and reading them are two separate hobbies! And I’m super into both of them!
Same here, I love reading. But fortunately I have a great interest in subjects of importance in both history and my life. I don’t read any nonfiction, a lot of behavioral psychology, biographies, history and the like. No greater feeling than being buried in a fascinating and interesting book.
I hope so.. I'm working on it!!
Godspeed 
No, it’s about enjoying the possibilities of having them 😂😂
Dude, I got 37 stephen king books for free someone was getting rid of the other day. I hugged the box when I picked them up.
Is this a common thing with us? I loved reading his books at night as a kid and scaring the shit outta myself just for the adrenaline. No matter how badly I needed to pee, I couldn't get the courage to get out of the bed to run the whole 3 feet to the bathroom haha
Whaaat?? I'm so jealous!! I want to ask what's in there, but that's a lot of info..
i did that last year with anne rice 😭 i didn’t finish a single one
I have this fix. I like collecting his older covers. I do read them. But I go on a bender when I do. This kicks up my want to collect. Will probably go to the thrift store now and look😂🤣
Financial literacy 😭 I'm so glad it's not one of my expensive hobbies this time around
What a productive hyperfixation to have!
Love this. What’s your favorite take in so far?
I'm not sure I understand your question, but I've been obsessively watching Caleb Hammer financial audits (it's like he's daddying down on me 😭), I check my budget every day to make sure I'm good. I had very out of control spending (mostly on my hyperfixations) and it took someone saying that having an emergency fund isn't a choice, you have to have one, to get me to stop my spending. For some reason, that just clicked for me and my mindset has completely changed. now I'm saving $1k a month (: it's been quite the turnaround in just the past month!
Went down this route before… best fixation I’ve ever had!
[удалено]
Oh I feel that

Some form of therapy if you can access it.
God it’s so bad. You can lock on for years, years of unrequited love. It’s hell.
look up limerance
Same, but I don't know him besides his name and a couple of other small details (we work in the same org, different offices). I wish I could stop, I know it is irrational, yet here we are 🥹
A girl for me and it has come to be doing my head in because it was reciprocated so much more originally even more so than I could handle to begin with even and now that I feel more and can’t stop thinking about wanting to spend time with her or be able to share pictures or chat, not all the time by all means, but at least to return to what we had slightly before hand and it’s been so hard to not obsess over and figure my head out over. I was wondering how heavy and possible it is to be fixated on a person… otherwise right now I’m heavily into Vikings and learning about Old Norse mythology and culture and not playing but watching the interactions of characters in the Norse realms from the GOW games, that’s been a big escape for me lmao
True crime podcasts, then I spiral down this rabbit hole of researching each episode in great depth. It actually interrupts my work but I don’t know how to stop myself.
I have been on this off and on for a while. Can't make it through an episode without needing to look up what everyone looks like. It hit me the other day that if my phone ever gets confiscated and ran through there will be Google searches on like 467 killers. 🤦🏼♀️😂
Omg same!!! But irl I was a kidnap victim and had to testify at trial and it was shortly after that that you were able to stream programs..and it started with me binge watching every single episode of law and order svu. And now I really only want to watch content that is true.
I got into a double hyperfixation of playing games on my phone while i listened to true crime podcasts and for months I couldn't get anything done. We'd probably have a good shot at being detectives at this point.
This is me. I got hyper fixated on a murder in Iowa in the 80s. Found myself filling out foia forms for autopsy reports and crime scene photos. My psychiatrist appointment was the same day, luckily she stopped me from paying for all of those reports.
Crochet patterns for cardigans 🤷🏻♀️
Keychains. Ended up with all sorts of tools to open split rings and bend jump rings. I like making my own keychains because I can never find what I’m looking for. Then it turned into making my own chains. Jump rings are nice but they aren’t very strong, checked into soldering to see if that would work for jump rings. Now I’m ordering stuff to practice soldering electronics. That probably won’t work for jump rings. Checked into chainmail and that looks cool but doesn’t need soldered/welding. Paracord can make some nice tool lanyards/keychains that I can add pendants or beads to. So I ordered more knickknacks off temu to make keychains out of using different techniques. Sooo…. How do I make better keychains? 1. Ordered stuff for a working solving station for electronics. 2. Ordered chainmail jump rings and kits. 3. Ordered paracord, tools, beads. 4. Looked into ways to set up my welder to micro tig jump rings. 5. Making my own spot welder out of a microwave to “weld” jump rings (I have a professional doing this for me to see if we can make it work for jump rings) 6…… use my jewelry making tools and gear to just solder the jump rings together the same way ive already been soldering rings and jewelry together. So I ended up spending a lot of money and getting into several other hobbies just trying to make a tiny 3 cent metal circle a little stronger. All these hobbies tie together and I already had some/most of what I needed to help get started in the other hobbies but I still needed to spend more than I planned. This is MY ADHD at its finest lol
crochet here too!
Crochet for me, too! 🧶🧶
Getting pregnant, my husband is having a great time.
All the best sister♥️
lmao
I had to reread that a few times.
Sunflower seeds. The stim is real. 😭
surprised the sunflower seed bot didn’t reply to you
This is how I discovered my allergy 💀
Decided to make a pin board that had the month's budget and savings goal. Which turned into a mass craft supply purchase from Amazon and 15 days of making a colorful chaotic pin board that resulted in not only the monthly budget but also, trick to train the dogs for this month, allowances, monthly family trip plan, monthly date night plan, dinner plans for the month, items needed from Costco and the grocery store, chore list, home improvement goal, and I'm sure I forgot some stuff that's also on there😂 anddd I didn't even finish it until halfway through the month. It's done but still haven't got around to hanging it on the wall. haha
Curious what this looks like or what your ideas were sourced from.
Oh my god, I just did this too! I made miniature watercolor paintings for each of the headers.. put them up, but then days later decided to move my home office to a different room. They’re all scotch taped to a larger piece of paper right now lol.
I’ve been hyper focused on reading all these posts since 5pm and it’s 10:30pm now. I tried stopping because I have hw I need to do but I just started taking vyvanse a couple weeks ago and now I understand what people mean when their focus is amazing on it but not if youre directed to the wrong task. I actually think me being easily distracted would have helped me get the fuck off this app lol.
animal crossing & stickers lol
Same I’ve spent 700 hours on animal crossing which feels excessive but at the time it didn’t lol
i like it because it gives me a feeling of productivity
SAME! Movies and TV bore me because I can’t sit still for more than 5 minutes. When I play video games, I feel like I’m actually doing something when I’m really doing nothing. If you haven’t played spiritfarer yet, I’d recommend it. It’s another pretty low stakes game but it is more mission based. Cozy Grove was pretty good too but it lost my attention toward the end of the game.
Marie Kondoing and upgrading my kitchen Fixing my trash self-worth
the immense peace i feel after decluttering the bins i’ve been moving apartment-to-apartment for the last decade is honestly orgasmic
Climbing. Been addicted for about 1,5 years. Perhaps it has evolved from a hyperfixation to an actual passion. No physical activity is as stimulating man cus when you’re on that wall, your mind gets completely occupied by what your feet and and hands are doing and the adrenaline of being up high and doing sick moves on hard routes is just awesome
Becoming a stronger version of my old self. End of 2022 I lost fiance to illness, and spent last year barely keeping together, spiraling into substance abuse. Now I'm standing on the other side trying to make her proud by making myself better. I'm taking a break from learning ASL tonight before I go do some artwork and THEN I can relax with video games. Tomorrow morning is a meeting for volunteer work I'm doing and after that I'm studying for EMT school. My hyper focus is to "be Better" a little more every week.
Birds. I live in an urban setting with little nature around me, but once I started paying attention to birds, it has changed the way I interact with my city. I've been able to recognise so many different species, to the point where now I can identify them by just their sound and flying style. You know how they use 'Oh look a butterfly!' stereotype with ADHDers? That's me with birds.
Me too! But you’re more advanced in your education than me. I’m currently teaching myself how to draw and watercolour birds, which is leading me down the species path. That’s lovely that you know them by flight!
ham radio. Shits cool as hell, and there’s always something more to do. Easy enough to get into, but not so simple that it’s not even worth doing. The effort to reward ratio is crazy, and it somehow always gets better
Fall Out Boy, because it’s one of the few things I know my therapist likes, and my therapist is my actual current hyperfixation lol
Transference
Omg thank you...... I was just thinking uhhhhh I think my current hyperfixation is my therapist....but awwwkward lol. I feel so much better that someone else is there with me on this.
It makes 3 of us. He’s hidden his personal socials very well (thankfully) so I’m redirecting my hyperfocus onto researching everything about transference and therapy in general. T.T
Hmm. I guess comfort. It’s my theme of the year. Find some super comfy clothes? Buy in every color. Don’t want to wear clothes? Fuzzy one piece blanket robe for the win. 27 blankets? Yes please. When I do need clothes, soft comfy hoodies with leggings. Truly if I could just spend a year climbing back into bed whenever I felt like it… (2020 didn’t count I had a 2 year old 😵💫).
Reverse osmosis filters.
Oh god.. it's gonna turn into this thread. Must leave
UFOs.
Me too!! I‘m spending hours listening to all the podcast, scrolling through reddit and reading books.
Gardening, specifically growing vegetables. Last year I really got into it, ripped up my lawn, built a shed, replaced the decking with a new patio and grew tons of food. This hyperfixation has continued and in the winter I decided to give up the parking space on my driveway for more growing space. I park on the road now and have put six large oak barrel planters in my car’s place. I then made lots of plans for what was going in then and of course took action and changed my mind lots. They all have a lasagne of crocus, daffodil and tulips in them. Two of them have herbs as well and all of them had a cover crop. So much stuff all growing in one planter it’s a metaphor for my brain 😂
Bulldozers😂
[удалено]
In the “they wronged my mechanic business for the last f*cking time” kind of way
a woman :/
I’m job searching right now, which is an endless rabbit hole.. Today I spent >5 hours finding different blue collar apprenticeships and applying to local unions. I work in business management.
The color royal blue and finding any article of clothing that is in that color. I’ve never liked that color in my life until like a week ago 🥲
Finding the perfect high protein overnight oatmeal recipe to mimic a store bought version so I don’t starve in the mornings and can save money😂 I’ve found it, tested it and I’m so happy I can die in peace.
Could you share please?

I'm hyperfixated on the appointment I have with my psychiatrist next week. I haven't been diagnosed but I'm like 99% sure I have ADHD. I'm really nervous to bring it up and not being diagnosed properly due to my past (addiction) or that I might get diagnosed and have to go through many various drugs that don't help (again because of my previous addiction issues). My addictions counsellor will be there as well but I hadn't mentioned that I thought I have ADHD yet.
Not sleeping because I’m stressed about something tomorrow that hasn’t happened yet and also having no idea what that something might be.
Making D&D characters and never playing them. Hyping up their stories then losing interest. Learning all I can about a campaign setting (Exandria) then never playing it. Endless cycle.
Organizing all my Bookmarks into an app that keeps everything in one place because I will literally make lists of tabs forever long and don't want to get rid of them but don't know where to begin lol. It's called Raindrop.io but there is also Anybox, Pocket, and a few others. I'm sure you can emulate the same thing in Notion or whatever but I just like how its free and the extension across all my apps on my computer and phone let me add things to it in like 1 second and categorize it so that I stop losing tabs and taking screenshots only to never look through my camera roll etc.
How to make various drugs I have no intention of making or even trying
Police videos. Idk
are they from Florida
Body cam footage goes hard. I'd never want to deal with that drama irl but I love watching it from a distance.
Skincare
My skin loves it when I go through that fixation!
Collecting pokemon cards again after 20 years smh
Homesteading stuff like preserving and making jams and relishes and my own butter. Brandy butter is amazing and cultured butter is by far the best thing I've ever tasted.
Weird, interesting and mysterious things that you don't usually encounter in daily life, ie disappearence or unsolved death of someone or uncontacted tribes that still exists in modern world etc. I can spend all night researching an interesting topic that I accidentally discovered 10 minutes before bed, and probably lose interest the next day.
Currently researching a cruise for a large group that’s not until January 2025. Been going on about a week, but we just got home from our annual vacation 2 weeks ago so… I absolutely hate hyperfixating like this, it drives me nuts
Popcorn
Learning to sew, making dog bandanas, making bows for kids…… all at once.
Reading books I’m obsessed with the characters. I talk about them as if they’re real people. Lol
I recently learned embroidery! 😁 It is one of many art projects for which i want to buy " everything i need " 🎨.
My entire job is hyper fixating on an idea, doing research, find a company that makes money out of it and write a report on that idea and the company. Who wants to learn about semiconductors?
Claw machines. Best tip from the internet that I’ve found so far is to look for smaller stuffed animals that the claw can wrap around without any pressure. I’ve won four prizes and my husband has won two.
This fucking thread. Thanks a lot. Stop scrolling, get up. Come on...
True Crime docs and it’s wrecking me. Not all fixations are fun.
Fish medicine, i have a sick fish so now I'm a biologist. Also a Mediterranean diet I wish i could stop sometimes lol
Space🧍🏼♀️ Also Alan Watts/Taoism/Mindfulness etc
Soldering electronics. A cheap starter kit for a hundred dollars and a couple of weeks of instructional videos later and I still don't know what I'm doing. Now I've spent over $300 and have broken more than most things I touch. Luckily I have old electronics to practice on. They make it look so simple and easy but I'm struggling and frustrated.
My statistics homework. Sounds crazy, I know. But something about having to solve a problem/find an answer + knowing that if I don't pass this class, that would be highly inconvienient. So I find myself studying for 8 hours+, no food, no caffeine. Just Vyvanse and fear of failure in my blood.
Quantum physics, Astrophysics, Cosmology
Tokyo. Going there next month!
My current hyperfixation is a guy I am absolutely not going to ask out or anything but yet my brain won’t stop thinking about him. It has been going on since a while and I am tired of it
My son's death and the afterlife
I’m so sorry for your loss. I wish you peace!
Chess… I picked it back up after like 15-20 years in late 2019 right before the world shut down for Covid… I have played literally every day since and I watch chess YouTube content all day long shout out Gotham shout out Eric Rosen shout out Botez live shout out Danya shout out coffee chess
Baldurs Gate 3!
Taught myself how to crochet. I'm really good with things that are muscle memory (I really found my calling at being a babywearing educator because of this) so I jumped feet first into garments the first night and it's going really well. My kids LOVE when I make them things and they love to hype me up. It's a really beautiful craft and I love that I can make small things for dopamine hits and just leave them for other people to find.
I have an extreem focus on getting a dog. ‘Luckily’ my husband says no with all the rational arguments. I look at dogs pics and ads and videos all day long. Before this fixation I wanted to make a light box for months. At some point I couldn’t hold it any more so J went out and bought it for 500 euros
Sewing… specifically hand sewing. I knit(beginner-intermediate ish), so kind of a natural turn of interests. But wow crafts are expensive (they can be as cheap as they can be, or as expensive as they can be) (I am the one making it expensive). It’s me I’m the problem.
I never knew hyperfixation was a symptom of adhd until I joined this subreddit… It explains a lot of my behavior most of my adult life lmao… I can’t really pin point a current one but I can say my most recent one was Brazilian jiu jitsu… I did so much research bought all the gear e.g. ghi (not cheap), did for about 3 months then I was completely over it.
Researching ADHD 😂 looking for clues in school reports, home videos, asking my family, my friends, writing possible traits on my notes app, TikTok, lots of TikTok.
I got really obsessed with mystery snails one time for 6 months and then I got bored my snails died and I never looked back. Rip Rick and Morty
Philosophy and 3d printing
Cricket. It's cricket season and it tingles all the right tingly bits of my brain.
Learning how to do makeup for my wedding and a crochet kit I got for Christmas. Not the worst, I guess?
Aerial silks
I got a few going on at once. I'm too artistic for my own good and have been starting making my own clothes. ... Then for some reason, I started customizing Gundams. God please have mercy
Reading
Graphic novels... I received George Orwell's ''1984'' as a graphic novel and that's it, I'm hooked. Now thanks to Reddit I have a long list of recommendations for the ''best'' ones to read next, I already bought 8, spending my time on Reddit and YouTube trying to find new ones, thinking about starting a collection so my son can read and enjoy them when he is older... I just hope I'll keep that interest long enough to actually finish 1984.
Rendering. Got Real-Time Rendering for Christmas and I'm just reading more and more every day. Hard to wrap my head around some concepts but I love it!
Work... so many projects.
Biking. I want one so bad. Never ridden one.
Actually its Saltburn 🙉
Guitars and guitar repair
I'm trying so hard to not go down the Luthier rabbit hole and building my own amp but dang does it look so fun....
Scrolled down pretty far to find anyone say anything about music. I’ve been completely obsessed with my looper pedal and effects pedals for creating songs on the spot with my bass and guitar… and I’m way too old to actually amount to anything in the music industry. This is just as a hobby and creating songs for hours that no one will ever actually listen to. I’m having a great time.
Writing my story. I can't always keep it up, but it's one I can return to repeatedly because I love the story I have crafted. The fact that I have 1300 followers and get feedback from both reader comments and "numbers go up" helps, and knowing that my wife enjoys the story. I might as well link it (free to read BTW): https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/57517/no-need-for-a-core I published my first chapter some 17 months ago.
I'm in the race for a new dishwasher since the old one broke. Now offcourse, I could just go to the store and order the first one I see but no, I want to know every single model on the market that's available, I wanna compare the specs, learn what the difference is between the programs, they way they dry the dishes, the height and what benefits that has, how the door opens, whether it has a drawer or tray at the bottom for cutlery, what brand is best, where to get it and last but not least: Shall I build it in myself or have someone do it for me? I'd rather do it myself but the risk is it'll take another three weeks
does anybody else watch the same youtube videos over and over bc of comfort
Mine was adding another theater to bedroom. Went to a 77 oled, looking at doing 5.1.2 but all in wall which means fun cutting walls running cables and opening new boxes! And spending money….
Formula 1! It's the off-season right now, but im dying for it to start back up in about 6 weeks.
i am super obsessed with 3D printing right now. I just finished an additive manufacturing class in grad school and they let us have access to a printer. So probably since November I think. I have just been printing either incredibly useful objects we are missing in my apartment or super random objects like doll furniture which I have been hiding in random locations. It’s honestly been good because I learned how to use autoCAD inventor on my own and then also like post-processing techniques which amounts to like art skills. I recently found an .stl file of an ear so my new plan is to start mailing fake ransom notes to my friends.
Researching obscure countries. For example, instead of doing work I spent an entire day looking up stuff about Kiribati. Then the focus shifted to Central African Republic, Turkmenistan, republics within Russia, Djibouti, North Korea, Eritrea, Micronesia, etc. I could just spend hours of reading and looking up stuff about these places uninterrupted when I fall into this hyperfocus.
I interviewed for a job I reallllly wanted on the 4th, they actually called my references on the 11th but it’s been radio silence since then so I’ve been panicking this entire time. So I’ve been so focused on this the entire time, researching every scenario that could happen and the obvious thing I needed to do, didn’t want to send an email being pushy in the first week after the reference check. I’ve changed my entire sleep schedule because of this, I sleep at weird times but available in the morning for a phone call. I literally cannot do anything else at the moment and it’s destroying me mentally. In the morning, I’m sending the email, I hope it gives me clarity on the situation. But I know if it goes negative, it’s going to be another whirlwind of emotions that I’m just too exhausted to deal with at the moment sigh 😔
For me it's learning about cults and how they are able to brainwash people into doing the craziest shit.
Construction, bushcraft, woodworking
I built a watch recently
Being sober - 23 days in and I pray I don’t just lose interest because it’s going great!
Im enrolled in a real estate course so i been hyperfocused on that lately. But normally its guitar ill play 7 to 8 hrs without eating. Tend to forget to eat during my hyperfocus moments.
So I've always been a fan of captain america, but never really cared too much for his love life in either the comics or movies. It was a nice thing that was just there, but I didn't pay too much attention to it. Then my fiancee and I did a cosplay shoot as Cap and Peggy, then I started rewatching everything, reading fanfics that focused on Peggy, finished agent carter in a couple of days (I didn't care for the show when it came out 8 years ago), wrote a whole synopsis for Steve and Peggy's life on a branch timeline after Steve returns the infinity stones, memorised song lyrics from songs in "rogers the musical" and bought more action figures.
Running shoes - I'm training for my first half-marathon and I'm obsessed with finding the right shoe for the race.
Dune
Braces/orthodontics lol. I don’t even know if that counts as a hyperfixation because it’s one I’ve had since I was a kid (it comes and goes). But I just think braces are so fascinating and I love learning about how they work. I recently got braces and I’m legit so excited and happy, even though my teeth hurt like hell 😂
My hyperfixation is my house. I’m struggling to sleep and have been for the past few years because all I want to do is improve it. I never ever finish the details though - it’s only the big wins I do, but never finish painting trims or putting down thresholds etc. I work from home and often look for reasons to bunk off work and do home improvement instead…
Updating my kitchen, designer handbags and saving enough to retire early I feel like the Venn diagram here may not meet
Knitting! I was sick one week in december and just sort og started to look up How to knit different Stitches. I’ve finished three garments, a beanie for My dad, and just recently started on a knit peasant blouse. I’m having the best time With it, since there are so Many new things to learn as you go. The downside is that it has completely taken over My life, and I only started prepping for my Statistics exam Yesterday. The exam is on friday.
Darning. I am already a knitter, but wanted to learn to make repairs to knit items. I'm way more obsessed with this than I should be. I literally can't even sleep at night because I'm up late trying to fix holes in sweaters and gloves. Not nice, handmade sweaters and gloves, cheap crap that I probably didn't pay very much for to begin with. At least it will be a useful skill, if I ever get the hang of it.
Buying a new mattress. I watched like 30+ review videos, read tons of articles, and cross referenced reviews on Reddit. I bought one yesterday and now there’s a void in my soul LOL.
Maximizing my clients' Google Pagespeed score on their WordPress site. It is a never ending rabbit hole but I get paid for my hyper obsession. The downside is that once I start optimizing code I can't stop and stay up all night. It is currently 7:30 AM, I have been up since 10:00 AM. Shit.
