    The hyperfocus line drives me nuts because if I could do that I wouldn’t have a disorder. In fact I would be particularly “ordered” wouldn’t I? Hyperfocus but I can control it? Sigh me the fuck up! I get hyperfocused because certain activities trigger a hella sweet dopamine rush that my brain is craving. Unfortunately, I can’t control which activities will trigger that reaction, and no amount of self-discipline or willpower will compel my brain to “want” to give me a hit while doing something i find tedious or uninteresting. I can still do stuff I don’t want to do, usually… sometimes… ish… but the odds of me falling into a hyperfocal state while doing so are naught.
