Yup I will sit there hyper focused on code for hours and often ignore the need to eat, hydrate, or urinate, which results in frequent UTIs, dehydration headaches, eye strain, and chronic back/hip pain. People say hyper focus is a super power, but it comes at a cost. Meds help with powering through undesirable tasks, but they can make the hyper focus even worse.

Omg, I can relate to this so much. Sometimes I don't have my meds because I don't want to risk hyperfocusing on something for too long. I don't see many people talk about this one.

Fortunately I can't sit still for too long, so I don't get back pain.
