I swear there's a sweet spot for going to bed after my meds have worn off otherwise my brain just runs off in some random direction like normal.
Sometimes (rarely) it's a productive direction, other times I'm bouncing through ideas too fast for any depth.
The nightmare of circular thinking that used to lead to panic attacks before I actually addressed my ADHD

Straight up the last time this feedback loop happened to me was before I started the meds I'm on. Now it's easier to break the loop because I can focus on other things rather than find myself hyper fixating on hyper fixating.
Edit: Usually it was caused by me overthinking on a social situation that I was sure I messed up in some way, that I ended up messing up because I was thinking I was messing it up so I tried to be more not me.
I think we've all been here at least a few times

Almost every time I do laundry and the dryer stops after my meds have worn off this ends up being the case
The good news is it usually gets folded in the morning after that days meds kick in
The struggle is real, especially when The Focus hits on new creative work

Depicted in the image is Sisyphus pushing his legendary boulder up a hill, written in the boulder are the words, "The fucking dishes and the fucking laundry."
End image description.
Straight up though I recently learned a really weird way of editing pictures for creative distortion (it involves Audacity (the sound editor)) and I straight up forgot to do both before work.
Yesterday and today.
Good news is I learned a lot on how editing those pictures works. Bad news is tonight's dinner was cereal eaten out of a mug with a fork.
