How do you deal with hyperfixations taking over your life?

Sometimes I’m afraid of doing new things because I can become so obsessed, I abandon necessary jobs and routines for like 2 weeks and then I need to build momentum back, it pisses me off a lot

    I have turned multiple hyperfixations into useful things and even jobs.

    For me it is about guiding it to a positive direction but also accepting that sometimes I will go down a rabbit hole that will cost me, and that’s okay. Kind of like going out for junk food, don’t make it a habit, but don’t feel bad for indulging sometimes.
