![]() For four years! …all the while KNOWING in my head that the hyperfixation was just w r o n g on so many levels. So the boss, the environment, the sounds, the teeth grinding were all gone, but I was still healing. So, so frustrating! My hyperfixation example is the four years it took me to quit thinking of all the angst I suffered from a micromanaging boss. ![]() In split seconds of time, I’m internally angry at the loud sound, angry that it jolted me, angry that now I have to regroup and how dare he drop that pan lid on purpose?! Externally I KNOW that he didn’t do it on purpose, but by the time my mouth quits saying his name, I learn that I blurted out “are you alright?” in an accusatory tone that implies he best be unconscious. Some tasks can be hard to concentrate on, while others. People have difficulty controlling where they focus. No biggie (because by now I don’t even realize I’m married let alone that he is in the building.) But then suddenly he drops a large metal pan lid that jolts me out of hyperfocus. Hyperfocus is the intense state of concentration experienced by some people with ADHD. For example, let’s say I am hyperfocused on my hobby. Not necessarily forever, the abiding passion can fade sometimes abruptly, like the ADHD student who after years of work finally finished their thesis and then can’t be bothered to hand it in, and they never get their doctorate, never get their diploma. Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), characterised by problems relating to attention, impulsive behaviour and hyperactivity, has become widely accepted to be a neurodevelopmental. Rick, I LOVE all your modeling work! It teaches us a new thing about our friend! (that is you by the way) When I hyperfocus (hf) my sensitivity can make me really grumpy. Hyper fixation is something you come back to again and again and again.
