YES all of this. One of the things that I’ve been working through the last year or two is the notion that my periods of hyper fixation have to be productive. Like I have to make money or produce a Thing for it to be worthwhile. That’s not actually true and figuring out how to move away from that mindset (that i built in like 20 years ago) makes it easier for me to treat fixations like an ongoing hobby.

I’m been really fighting with this for college with everything going online

the trail of dead hyperfixations left in my wake are just too many to count. Getting burnt out on hyperfixations, even if I was enjoying them at the time, has resulted in me beating myself up for wanting to try new things cause "I'll just lose interest anyways" which is really defeating. I have been working with my therapist to try and find a balance to this but it's hard

This totally never happens to me... *laughs awkwardly as she nervously shoves giant pile of different projects done when she should have been doing other things under the bed*

This one really hits me hard cause I just got chewed out by my dad for this.

This is everything! After many months of trying different meds with no effects I've just decided to go without them. Needless to say my chances of finishing school right now are hanging by a thread - but I did finish a few commisions already and also started to train for a charity run :D Anyway, thank you for your amazing work as always - your comics are seriously some of the best content od ADHD there is <3

I talked myself down yesterday from starting my own soap making business to simply buying the ingredients for a single batch of bath bombs. It was so much work to reign in my impulses that I was too burnt out to get to bed before 4am. Why are our brains like this???

Felix

Too real. Who is talking in the last panel though? I'm not following if there are two sides to the conversation.

Itamar Croitoru

This is me exactly.

This one hits really close to home for me, especially right now.

Oh this is SO relatable! <3

As I sit here with 20 tabs open looking at different daily planners so I can try to appropriately compartmentalize time and energy and fixation and obligation.... dang. Spot on.

*whispers* DINOSAUR!!

I really love this 😭 I’ve been thinking a lot about my energy levels and how ADHD impacts them (or honestly really shifts the way they work completely) but it’s so hard to explain to neurotypical people!
