Managing special interest? It’s consuming meeee

Hellooo

I am wondering how people moderate special interests? Mine is taking over everything lol.

I recently became obsessed with running. I found out I’m pretty good at it and so the dopamine hits from it are big. I can’t stop thinking about it, researching stuff, constantly distracted by it, want to talk to people about it all the time. It’s affecting my sleep pretty badly lol.

I’m between jobs at the moment so I don’t think that’s helping… I’ve never had a special interest take over so hard.

How to regulate thisssss??
