Hyperfocus is the ADHD opposite of distractibility, often masquerading as ”productivity.”

Poor attention regulation can go both ways, y’all.

This is exactly why I tossed away Adderall after 20 years.

It just intensified hyper focus and created and ruined my sleep and diet.

Please take down this photo of me

I'm either one or the other, no middle ground

Dani I feel attacked

As easily as we get deeply into things like hobbies, we also can lose interest and motivation just as fast.

They’re the same thing? 😭

I would not be where I am today without this super power in my 20.

Now it has become a problem I am working on. But then….whew I got a lot done on the things I focused on.

Same. And yeah, it's dangerous and powerful.

Yeah it wasn’t until my priorities changed (had a child) and time got right (also child related lol) that I realized what a problem it could be.

Tight*

I am in this picture and don't know how to feel. 🤔
