Episode 13: Dry Erase Groupies

Welcome back to the ADHD gravy train! This week, Garet & Katie recorded on a morning when they were both extremely exhausted somehow but they still take you down the rabbit hole that is HYPERFIXATIONS! A rarely studied, often just anecdotally reported, ADHD symptom that is sometimes also called "hyperfocus." Don't be fooled, though! Hyperfixation and hyperfocus are actually two different things, and either way, we manage to squeak out some tips to snap out of it so you remember to eat and drink water throughout the day, and also how to maybe set yourself up to get INTO your hyper-whatever state when you need it! What is your current hyperfixation meal? Because we have them and can you tell it's lunchtime? We want to hear what you're obsessed with eating right now!
