I’ve realized that I kind of rely on my periods of hyperfocus to complete things (when I’m able to direct it toward the right task). If I go onto medication, will I still be able to hyperfocus? As destructive as hyperfocus can be when it’s pointed at the wrong thing, it’s like a superpower when it’s pointed at the right thing. Sometimes I appreciate the periodic flurry of activity and inspiration.

If it's that easy to make go away, it wouldn't be a problem, would it?

Don't worry, your superpowers aren't going anywhere. If anything, the newfound control will make it more awesome
