On Friday, trying to complete a very involved application, I hyperfocused from 10am-10pm to complete it.
But then yesterday (Saturday) I had a brutal migraine and diarrhea all day.
Has anyone experienced this sort of bodily response after using their hyperfocus ability all day?
Not those specific symptoms, but short periods of hyper focus are how I get through my job. I can sometimes sustain the hyper focus for a few days.
But the cost is extreme tiredness, inability to do anything, low mood and sometimes cold-like symptoms for days afterwards.
That’s interesting. I’ve always thought my ability to hyperfocus was a strength but it does indeed give me low mood and fatigue. Have done about 4 hours work today and I should be feeling accomplishment…. But instead I’m grumpy and tired.
