Except when it's a hyperfocus: then I go 20 steps deep thinking about it all day while leaving a trail of food, papers and other items I was supposed to put somewhere all over the house.

Hyperfocus is still just one thing. It's just that it's all the things about that one thing.

Or it explodes into a mess of related things and you end up researching 20 different ways / things that would combine well with it without accomplishing anything in the end. Except occasionally having people ask: "How do you know so many things?"

Disclaimer: I don't have ADHD according to the doc because I should have had more problems with it in school. More than just getting bullied. She refuses to send me to an institute where they might think I have ADHD, because she doesn't trust their judgement.

Props to my (officially autistic) girlfriend for basically becoming an ADHD psych and helping me structure my life and get things done.
