Primary inattentive here, I’ve normally been a binge eater kind of guy. I won’t even be hungry, or am actually full, and I still crunch and munch away for the dopamine. I’ve taken to intermittent fasting (since once I start eating I don’t stop) and somewhat obsessive exercising to manage it

Recently experienced personal trauma and wowza I’ve had difficulty eating and drinking. The day it happened my wife had to force me to drink water

In maybe a similar manner I usually excel at driving, but occasionally something will happen that exacerbates my symptoms and just causes my driving ability to evaporate. In this case it’s usually the passenger trying to have a serious, fraught conversation

Not sure if I’m trying to make a point about anything, just maybe working through stuff in my head by vomitting words on the screen

I guess one positive from this is I’m going to look for a therapist again, so at least there’s that

    I absolutely get that more with driving. I’m usually a very alert and proactive driver, able to feel the road as if the car was a part of my body, almost. But sometimes without warning, that part of my brain just turns off, and I can’t drive for shit. Like I find it hard to even look straight ahead.
