    You try having ADHD and going 24 hours without food. All you can think about is eating. It’s very distracting. It’s an ADHD thing 🤷‍♀️

      ironically I often forget to eat and get trapped in binge/fast cycles unless I painstakingly log every single thing I eat.

                It also helps to check for signs of pre-diabetes, as afaiu healthy people don’t get this issue. I didn’t start getting the shakes until I gotten fat and unexercised.

                  Yeah, sugar intake, I’m aware of that and fighting for a long time. But no, it’s officially no drug, hrhr. Fun stuff to look up, the sugar cartel.

                  Anyhow, my condition is okay but I’ve got too many neurological issues which basically make it impossible to read my own body, so that’s there, too.

      That is literally so easy, I regularly do it by accident because I hyperfocus on some nonsense.

        Took me fourteen hours to fix a problem yesterday. I bet it would have taken 4 if I had eaten something during the troubleshooting

          Yes but is that worth the utter and complete agony of stopping what you’re doing and then starting again 10 minutes later? /s
