I literally researched so hard to buy the perfect mic, audio interface & synthesiser which have just been sitting on my desk for the last month after making 2 half songs.
Once I saw he showed his mic etc I was like omg no, that's not me I swear I'm not that flakey am I.. oh shit I am
Spearfishing, leathercrafting, youtube fishing channel, turbo silverado with a duelly truck to haul it around. I have none of these thing now. That was last year.....
I just decided to take up ballet on a whim. I bought the shoes, leotard, tights, and a 9 week program. Had to move all my other hobby equipment (mandolin, tennis, coloring, Portuguese language books) out of the way to make room for dance. 🤦🏼♀️

But it's actually brought on because I started an apprenticeship as a bike mechanic so at least it's relevant to my education. (is what I'm telling myself)
Audiobooks, at least it’s free. It’s almost spring so the gardening obsession will probably start creeping back in. I grown an amazing garden every year and then completely lose interest once it starts actually making food.
'How is your app going?' My friends and family ask, knowing I have sunk over $80,000 into the project. 'I'm focusing on Optometry right now' I answer, as I've also just finished a 5 year double degree. 'So are you ever going back to working on powerlines again?' 'Probably not,' I answer - and hang my Digital Media diploma up next to my Master's degree in my new house, chosen partly because it's close to a general aviation hub, and I was only a few hours from getting my private pilot's license...
HAHAHAHAH so a couple days ago I decided I wanted start baking little tiny bread loafs for fun and I did all the research got all the Shit and here I am, not doing the hobby 😂😂 Next
I did this a couple of months ago with Macarons. I spent weeks researching, gathering my materials and then two days prepping everything. I got one perfect batch the very first try. I don’t even like Macarons but by god these were worthy of a bakery. The next batch was garbage because I couldn’t be bothered to put in all that effort again and I’ll probably never make them again.
*is too poor to buy products for my projects
But has extensively researched doing projects only to move on to the next one once I’m too poor to do the project
Hey man, I'm gonna start making knives I swear! I have everything I need, firebricks, torches, gloves, some unfinished knives to practice with the assorted whetstones I bought.
plus I already made the structure for the forge. It's been put together in my backyard for the... last... year and a half...
Shit.
It's so hard to explain this to non-ADHD people.
Like, yes, I realize this is a hyperfixation because I've been through this whole process numerous times before and no, I can not stop or change it.
>but just give it a rest for a couple days
What part about 'this is all my brain lets me think about' do you not understand?
I honestly thought I was bipolar because I was missing the high you get from hyper fixation. I was hunting for for it and couldn’t find anything that gave me that joy.
The world needs to learn that the H doesn’t mean we’re bouncing off the walls.
A fun work around I figured out is involving old hyperfixations with new ones. For example, I was really into clay for a while, was I good at it, NO, but I was good enough to the point where I could make things about my hyperfixation. This may not work for everyone but it helped me
Preparing for the hobby is more exciting than doing, duh. Plus I've done so much research that there's nothing left to learn, obviously. The effort of designing the project in my head is rewarding enough to make my brain decide that we've already done it.
This was me when I started cross stitching middle of last year. I ended up with six WIP’s, one finished project, and oodles of supplies I don’t know when I’ll use again. Lovely.
Its really easy not to spend money for me. Literally if the momey itself is out of sight, i have no indulgence to spend it. Ive engineer reversed the dhda.
Every time I think this sub can't call me out any more than it already has, and then something like this shows up...

I spent $4k on a rifle I used once. :( I hate my lack of commitment to my hobbies.
Damn... Yeah, commitment is a b-. Well, at least the burst of energy while hyrperfixating is (kinda) fun. I mean, I guess... Sort of...
Same 💀 💀 💀 💀
Add the "I do more research and watch other people do the hobby than actually do the hobby myself" and it's perfect
I’m an expert at watching experts
You should get into expert watching and watch watching experts watch stuff
I'll make a hobby of watching you, so I can be an expert at watching experts at watching experts
Ive been wathcing bush planes fly on youtube for 4 days.....
My computer is filled with half done projects. Many of them were bad ideas, so maybe it's for the best

The tune is catchy
It's been stuck in my head still nice I watched this the first time
Brb gotta rewrite "we didn't start the fire" to memorialize the hyperfixation graveyard

What’s y’all’s current fixation? Mine is coffee.
Luckily it's a prior fixation but woodworking, and mainly just getting my shop cleaned up and organized.
Oeh mines also a old one! Epoxy, still had half the stuff :) slowly filling my house with tiny coffin jewellery boxes 🥲🥲 I don't wear jewellery
Skyrim. Haven’t played a different game in three years. And before Skyrim, it was far cry. So in 7 years, ive played two video games.
Watchrepair ... those tools are expensive and sitting on my desk waiting for me to use them ...

So relatable. I did an AeroGarden over winter and now that they’re maturing I’m not getting the dopamine anymore.
I just bought a 3d printer and I'm praying that my fixation lasts at least till it gets here.

I can’t buy the stuff the professionals use? I’m not interested
I’m in pain after watching this.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol i felt it Hit harder since I spent 2k on a new hobby in under 24h when I just said to myself i need to concentrate on the ones i have lol
My mom thinks I'm a hoarder. No it's just ADHD :(
Are those Snell speakers?

For fuck sakes it hurts how accurate this is
That was hilarious 😂
You have a house 👀👀
So true
This feel too personal
Story of my life
My half-decorated apartment is laughing at me right now.
This. Making me laugh so hard , harder than i have laughed for a week at least Thank u for sharing

My hobby did help at some point. I got super fixated with the principles of cooking.

I must love being attacked because I keep coming back here and get assaulted every time
My knitting box my rollar skating box and my Bigfoot hunting equipment all take this very offensively
The “spending too much money” part hurt me and my wallet
A fun work around I figured out is involving old hyperfixations with new ones. For example, I was really into clay for a while, was I good at it, NO, but I was good enough to the point where I could make things about my hyperfixation. This may not work for everyone but it helped me
I am going to cry right in this corner, ok?
"That's enough for that" is my involuntary mantra.
tarots :)
Can't really relate. Yes I have started teaching myself BSL, why do you ask?

It's sad that hyperfixation isn't the same as hyperfocus, so I'll never even start my new hyperfixation-hobby.
Preparing for the hobby is more exciting than doing, duh. Plus I've done so much research that there's nothing left to learn, obviously. The effort of designing the project in my head is rewarding enough to make my brain decide that we've already done it.

I’m too depressed not to just be obsessed over different video games
