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?
It’s like the crisis flipped you into eating cortisol instead of inconsistent dopamine.
I noticed that I dont get sick in crisis mode, and at some dotcoms I’ve enjoyed years without the flu or a cold.
For the two years i ran an after school care center i only got sick during school holidays.
