Can There Be Ppl With Adhd Who Don’t Hyperfixate? I’m Diagnosed But I Can’t Tell If It’s Hyperfixation

can there be ppl with adhd who don’t hyperfixate? i’m diagnosed but i can’t tell if it’s hyperfixation or if i’m just telling myself it is idk agsgshsh

Every brain is different, and in the same way, every hyperfixation is. For one person, they can be very strong and take over all thought, and for others they can be weaker. Because ADHD is an inability to regulate attention, I think everyone does experience some sort of hyperfixation—we lack dopamine, so our brain clings to one thing we find that provides us with that dopamine.

But that doesn’t mean it has to be incredibly strong—it can be one interest that you feel especially drawn to for a period of more than a day. If there’s a book or show that you love and feel like you just have to keep reading/watching it because it’s so good, that can be a hyperfixation! You don’t have to be completely obsessed, just… not wanting stop, and wanting to carry on from where you left off when you have free time.

Dhampir hunter — your mother was human, but your father was a vampire, and you’re betraying his ancient blood. Your human self is your weaker self. Humans are nothing more than livestock.

Me when I look into myself and I can't remember my own feelings or feel my feelings and now I can't really connect with anything.

I wish I hadn't forgotten all my pain. I want more of myself. I wish my bed was wider so it can fit what has poured out of me when I lay on my sides. I need to look at it and remember even when it’s unsightly. Even if it was the figure in the dark I thought were clothes hanging on the door or piled on the chair. I think I’d cuddle it and hug it close to my chest. I wish my heart isn't too far inside of my skin, I wish I can just have it in my palm. I want to hold it and see what I've hidden in its folds, then flow inside and go to my brain just to look at my heart again. I knew she will keep me safe even when it hurts. I want to go back to myself. I wish I remember

Anyone else has like... The inability to form habits?

Like normal people, they repeat something daily for a couple weeks and it sticks. They might miss a day here or there, but the overall habit is formed.

Me? I can push myself to do the same task daily for 8 months, forget one day, and it's gone. I realize 3 weeks later that i have not done it a single time since.

"should autism exist in my fantasy story?" yes. "should psychosis exist in my fantasy story?" yes. "should personality disorders exist in my fantasy story?" yes. "should ADHD exist in my fantasy story? should intellectual disabilities exist in my fantasy story? should dissociative disorders exist in my fantasy story? should trauma disorders exist in my fantasy story? should anxiety disorders exist in my fantasy story? should mood disorders exist in my fantasy story? should--"

yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

you don't have to include their real actual names and you don't have to have main characters with every single one of these things. But neurodivergent and mentally ill people should EXIST in fantasy stories and fantasy societies, because we exist in real life. We deserve to be acknowledged.

me as a child: i'm gonna do all sorts of cool things when i'm older! travel the world! be a writer! do art as a job! etc, etc

me now at 25: hey maybe today my body won't hurt so bad and i'll be able to walk upstairs without wanting to sit down, cry, and/or hyperextending a joint!
