I’ve realized that I kind of rely on my periods of hyperfocus to complete things (when I’m able to direct it toward the right task). If I go onto medication, will I still be able to hyperfocus? As destructive as hyperfocus can be when it’s pointed at the wrong thing, it’s like a superpower when it’s pointed at the right thing. Sometimes I appreciate the periodic flurry of activity and inspiration.

It's true, at least for me. I can actually control the focus now instead of digging down a rabbithole of for 6 hours at 3am.

If I'm going down that rabbithole now, it's because I want to.
