I’m either invested in the project, or my unhealthy fear of failure fuels the anxiety that forces hyperfocus. I don’t recommend the latter if you can avoid it. It’s exhausting.

Yeah, kind of like how adrenaline can let a person ignore a serious injury for a little while, there’s always a brick wall on that road.

Great analogy.

That wall hits like sleep deprivation or dehydration, just a clueless and careless fog that falls over me after running for too long on anxiety.
