I currently have a sinus infection. That’s annoying, but I’ve noticed for a long time that when I’m sick it’s like I don’t feel the ADHD symptoms.
I lose the constant slight understimulation and I’m more mentally sharp and content. It’s like my body knows I need to rest and actually gives me the mental state to tolerate that.
Obviously it sucks to be sick, but it almost makes it a nice experience for me to be able to actually hone in and make a lot of progress on my projects or whatever without fighting my brain at all.
Anyone else experience this or similar?
Do you have more hyperactive or attention-deficit symptoms? I’m attention-deficit and i can’t recall in any way feeling improvement when sick, in fact it drives me up the wall because when i’m sick i can’t stimulate myself properly and i get bored out my skull to a degree that is almost more suffering than the physical pain from the sickness.
I’m largely inattentive-type with some of the socially oriented hyperactivity issues. I can sit still but boy do I love to interrupt and finish peoples sentences. 😅
