Primary inattentive here, I’ve normally been a binge eater kind of guy. I won’t even be hungry, or am actually full, and I still crunch and munch away for the dopamine. I’ve taken to intermittent fasting (since once I start eating I don’t stop) and somewhat obsessive exercising to manage it
Recently experienced personal trauma and wowza I’ve had difficulty eating and drinking. The day it happened my wife had to force me to drink water
In maybe a similar manner I usually excel at driving, but occasionally something will happen that exacerbates my symptoms and just causes my driving ability to evaporate. In this case it’s usually the passenger trying to have a serious, fraught conversation
Not sure if I’m trying to make a point about anything, just maybe working through stuff in my head by vomitting words on the screen
I guess one positive from this is I’m going to look for a therapist again, so at least there’s that
I get hyper focused on whatever I’m doing and stop thinking about my needs like eating or using the restroom. At least, until I really have to go or I feel sick from not eating.
Honestly, working from home is so much better for me because every so often, my dogs want my attention to eat or go outside. I get up to take care of them and that’s when I realize that I need to take care of myself too.
I fully agree. Remote work has greatly improved my quality of life and my ability to manage things in my house. I can do things at home when there’s a lull at work or when I just can’t even, gives me more time overall for my brain to do it’s weird things. You can start a stew in the morning and hopefully remember to watch it the whole day until it’s done
