Hyper Focus

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.
