Ah, focus. Yeah, my brain doesn't work that way, until it super works that way - but you never know when that will be. That unpredictability results in your leaning hard into that focus, which is great and all until you realize you've neglected everything else over the excessive amount of time you've unwittingly spent working on "this". Boom overwhelmed again.

Not hating on this post, or the other helpful advice and encouragement throughout this thread. It's just not quite that simple for some of us, and it can be frustrating when people try to help by sharing the same approaches you've tried innumerable times without success. I appreciate the willingness to try to help, but sometimes it feels very reductive of the challenge in managing ADHD.
