hyperfixating on things at night?

Question

for some reason lately i’ve been hyper-fixating on things such as cleaning at night. i’ll get the sudden urge or idea to clean or organize something and i’ll do it from like 10:00 pm to 3:00 am. i’ve been pretty stressed out lately due to me not doing things i need done especially with school,( i’m 17 in high school) could that be a reason why i’m doing this? or does anyone else do this and might know reasons why?

Answer

Stress. Trying to find control when you feel out of control. Cleaning and organizing is a way a lot of people cope. As long as everything is how I want it, at least I can find a balance in my life. Maybe you are dealing with stress, anxiety, high demands, feeling as though not big you do is ever enough. Looking for validation or acceptance or approval or love or attention or affection from family and if I do everything just right they won’t yell at me or will give me compliments meanwhile you feel like an avalanche around you screaming on the inside and if you make one wrong move the avalanche is going to come crumbling down. You don’t feel comfortable in your own skin. And this is how you cope. You are overwhelmed in your life and now it’s bleeding into your nights. Maybe some therapy. Or taking a look at your life. What can you take off your plate. Have someone else help you with. College and the future or jobs and getting into a good college and the pressure you are putting on yourself and the expectations of others. You are going to burn out if you keep this up. You are trying to keep all the balls in the air juggling everything and responsibilities and you are doing everything you can not to drop a ball. Meanwhile it’s all gonna come crashing down if you can’t let someone else help you to find balance in your life. Take care of yourself.

Answer

It could be stress related, a way for you to regulate yourself or it could be more.
