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.

I take ritalin and in my experience it's made my hyperfocus more efficient and in a way stronger, since the medication mainly gets rid of my executive dysfunction. Can still very well focus on the wrong thing lol but it's made doing projects and in general existing waaay better
