“I can’t function. I have ADHD.”
“No, you have depression!”
“NO, I AM DEPRESSED BECAUSE I CAN’T FUNCTION BECAUSE I HAVE ADHD”

All focus and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
On the flip side, I sometimes get into hyperfocus mode, and can’t do anything else but what I’m currently doing. Sometimes it’s stuff that is relatively minor in the grand scheme.
Hyperfocus is simply fixating something and being unable to stop doing the task when needed and move to something else depending on the situation. I really wish we had a better mainstream term for this because “hyperfocus” makes it sound like it’s something good but in reality it’s not good at all. :c
Can relate. They should call it Attention Control Deficit Disorder. (Or, really, Executive Function Disorder but anyway…)
It’s especially bad if it’s “totally work related” but you have a really big thing you need to do but can’t bc ur too busy being obsessed about that “totally work related” thing
I can relate so much!
The really fucked up situation is when you’re stuck in this mode to the point of severe burnout because of your environment which you cannot escape in any reasonable amount of time.
This is kind of dark and depressing.
