As for how to keep functioning may I recommend leaning into absurdism, free floating disassociation, and hyperfocus on the present moment?

this is a brilliant observation, its almost like the more you lose yourself in hyperfocus the more the margin of success increases!

I hyperfocus when I read; essay collections give me an obvious break, so I *can* set the book down 😂 ADHD: not a superpower when it screws up your life!

I was put on medication for bipolar disorder at 20. It was *not* good because that was *not* a thing I had going on and that's some intense medication to be taking erroneously! But I think they were really struggling to explain my hyperfocus borderline-mania & how DEPRESSED I was being undiagnosed

autistic hyperfocus has always been with us lol

Ah, so there's a "boiling the ocean" component to it, but married to a pleasurable hyperfocus?

Also my mom thought I had hearing trouble because I would hyperfocus on books and not notice her calling for my attention for a full 30 seconds. Ironically she figured out she had ADHD at some point but never thought any of her kids did.

New hyperfocus found: gematria.

On a brighter note, I got like everything done and the next several things, but #Hyperfocus#Autistic#ADHD

trying alternating game/music weeks, hoping this makes it easier to hyperfocus on each without interrupting the other... music is even less of a real job than games but i think its healthy for me like physically emotionally psychologically etc
