Before focus meds:
My attention is like trying to touch teflon--with enough pressure and effort, you can remain in one spot, but things slide around otherwise.
After focus meds (at least so far):
My attention is like touching velcro, with other velcro. Easy to attach, takes an effort to detach and relocate.
Not better, but different!
Meds
@mawr Yeah, I think I could more easily learn to live with the velcro though. Find methods to break me out of longer hyperfocus, stuff like that.
I'd rather have that than the teflon. O.o
