Anyone else get like this when they find something that completely grabs their brain?
For four days now I have been so hyper-focused on a project that I have hardly slept, hardly eaten, or even drank properly.
Literally getting by on a couple of hours sleep and even then it's restless because my brain won't switch off.
I see it all when I close my eyes and when I open them.
When I'm in that state, nothing takes me away from it.
I could sit there undisturbed and just keep going and going.
Most conversations pass right through me. My brain instantly replies, yet I haven't really taken a word in.
The thing is, I know this isn't good. It's not good for my health and it's not good for my family.
What do people do to switch off when they're in a state like this?
I'm trying to have some time out with a soak in the bath, but even then my focus keeps drifting back to the project. But also on how this affecting Louise, the girls aswell as my-self.
Why do I do it though?
Because deep down I know that if I don't keep going, it'll probably end up stacked away with the hundreds of other unfinished projects.
I think a visit to the GP might be needed because when I do eventually crash, that's it. I'm done. Just another extended period of being a piece of the furniture. 😔
On that note, I'd best get ready for Saturday.
No rest for the wicked 🤣
