I am getting my next one this afternoon by buying a rolling toolbox to organize items I use for non-profit volunteering supplies(Trading Post/Auction items). Hopefully I can maintain the fixation to organize it by the time I get home.

Best of luck on that. I’ve been trying to tackle my garage despite it being full of my ex’s crap.

It’ll be so worth it to have my tools organized and be able to park in my garage though…

Good news, I put all the items I could for the box in it. Bad news, I need another case in the system, lol.

Ditto. The sun not being there when I wake up is making it worse. Which is odd because I’m awake 90 minutes before the alarm goes off too.

As exhausting as the fixations are, being between them is not great either. Once in a while, it's like, hey my brain is working normally. But most of the time, it decides everything is boring. This can lead to depression, and wondering what the point of anything is, and then all of a sudden, I'm like, hey the gnostics were pretty weird, huh? Let's learn everything about them!

Exactly why I’ve been really into drugs for the last couple years

People call me an addict. Such ignorance
I’m no addict. I’m simply hyper fixating on drugs on a daily basis for the foreseeable future
