Re: The Sixty-hour hyperfocus COMA

@Rick — Thanks for the reply. You are completely correct, and if there was anything in my original post that made it sound like I was saying “I’m ok, she’s not” I apologize. I have missed out on a lot of things due to this intermittent OCD behavior. I was really trying to point out that this is yet another symptom we need to learn to effectively deal with.

As for everyone else, thanks for your additions and enhancements. I think this is the worst symptom that plagues me. I don’t mind being easily distracted and what a now deceased friend referred to as the “OOH!!! SHINY!!!” syndrome. That has never cost me anything of value, and certainly never cost me any worthwhile friends.

But hyper-focus definitely does cost me more personally than it helps me at work.

Now I have to fight the temptation of finding out what this “ETSY” thing is all about….
