Does anybody else forget to not work? (kbin.social)

I’m not talking about necessarily an actual job, because I do it with hobbies to. But if I get focused on something, I need an outside source to bring me back. Yesterday at the end of my shift I found a bug in some code and it bugged me until this morning to work on it. I got to work right at 8:00 and after fixing it kept working. Next thing I know it’s 5:00 and my boss is messaging me asking if I’m still in and if I need help getting out for the weekend. I didn’t even take a lunch today. I wasn’t even hungry, thirsty, or even needing to use the restroom until I got that message. I just started working and got sucked in and forgot about basic necessities.

Does anyone else get this way?

At least I know I’m not alone 😂 I was worried there was something wrong with me

My ex used to have it a lot with hobbies and would hyper focus for hour and hours. He eventually got an ADHD diagnosis which explained a lot and his meds helped him to tone it down.

I was diagnosed as a child with ADHD but was pulled off the medication in my teens. Don’t remember why but was never put back on anything. Maybe I should talk to my doctor
