I've lost entire days (and honestly weeks) to hyperfocus before. Staying up working on whatever-it-is-at-the-moment until I literally crash (usually more than 20 hrs later) and repeat for several days in a row. An honest-to-god hyperfixation is not a 'tee-hee' bragging moment. It can fuck you up (not eating, not sleeping right, not moving your body when/ how you should as often as you should, not using the restroom as often as you should, etc.) Then there's the ever so delightful rage you experience the moment someone or something rips you out of the hyperfocus. And the immense guilt after the rage passes because the person 100% did not deserve that out-of-proportion tantrum.

Enter me hyperfocusing about the difference between bipolar and ADHD… and so happy I stumbled upon your video… trying to convince myself I have ADHD because doctors will not give me medication because … 70%of people with bipolar have ADHD but it’s not the other way around… just like i had to self diagnose myself that I’m allergic to milk. 🤦🏻♀️ we know ourselves more than anyone can learn in an hour appointment argh. Thanks for doing these videos to help people like me ❤

I love this, I hate how people overuse terms that actually have meaning and then it becomes a casual thing that everyone thinks they experience.
I will hold my pee until I’m in physical pain and not eat until I have low blood sugar and spend 3-4 hours just comparing shampoos because I just feel the NEED to keep going down a rabbit hole or say “just after this” for hours on end 😂

I'm not diagnosed with ADHD but I am a diagnosed autistic, and I do experience hyperfocus the way you describe it ever since I was a small child. I just get so focused on one of my special interests it's like the world around me disappears. Not only I forget about it, but I also can no longer see, hear or feel what's going on outside of the thing I'm focusing on. The world is just no longer there unless someone happens to manage to get my attention either by touching me or by getting directly in front of my line of vision.
It happens mostly when I'm writing or reading. I can just spend hours doing those things without even remembering to go to the bathroom, eat or drink water, or sleep. It can get pretty scary tbh

I considered anxiety dirsorder having this hyper focusing talent. Bc they obsses over a certain kind of bad situation that might happen and they do everything in their power to avoid that catastrophic event. My bf has anxiety and when be focus too much in avoiding a bad event i redirect that anxiety towards a hobby, like building lego sets.

I am not usually one to be out of bed after 9:30 pm, but, me being the horrible procrastinator I am, I had a geometry project do third period the next day and for extra points we could make our nets cool. (we were taking shapes like cubes and cylinders and coloring them before cutting the nets out and making the shapes.) I sat down at around 8 pm, the project should have took 10 minutes max, by the time I had completed this project it was 1:30 AM. ... I had no clue that time had passed while I was working on this. I only found out after showing of the cylinder I made, a Morton's salt substitute shaker that actually shook out the correct product (I mean this thing was amazing bar code and all), that the news was on full volume telling everyone in my household that there was a tornado that was getting close to us and another one right by my friend who lives in/by Sulfur. I got extra the points.

I hyper focus while I’m drawing or crafting sometimes. I will ignore texts, not eat, not use the bathroom, or drink anything for hours. I blink and it’s been 3 hours focusing on a task. I also cannot hyper focus when other people are around, only when I’m alone. Even if I’m being left alone, the knowledge that someone else is there keeps me out of it.
