    The worst is when I’m hyper focused and my son needs to eat or is late for school and I can’t defocus.

      It’s not really fast, we just suffer through inhumane conditions until the thing is done because the thing is the only thing that currently exists. Thats atleast how i feel if i hyperfocus on something. No food, sleep or really anything until it’s over and iam a nervous grumpy wreck.

      I’m sure inhumanly was the intended word here. But hyperfocus can sure be inhumane sometimes.

          Uhg, I hate when that happens. The worst is when realizing I haven’t eaten triggers my aloof interoception and I suddenly start shaking from hunger.

    ADHD can really suck but I love my hyperfocus ability when driving long distances.
    I am the car and the traffic around me, it feels like Neo navigating the Matrix.
    Just don’t try to talk to me while I’m at the wheel.
