What activities do you lose yourself in?
I’m AuDHD. I can hyperfixate with the best of them. It’s easy to lose myself in almost anything that has my attention in that capacity. I mean when I went back for my bachelors degree I stayed up until 3am working on a problem for my first class because I knew it wasn’t right and I couldn’t let it go.
All that being said, that not what this prompt is about, though it could be. This wants to know the things I do that I intentionally get lost it. Sometimes, these are one and the same. Mostly, however, I get lost in my coloring. That is the number one activity I get lost in. I can color for hours and it’s my go to relaxation activity.
Other activities that I get lost in are harder to define but the general theme is problem solving or puzzles. This doesn’t have to be a game or a manufactured puzzle. If anything it is more like real life stuff. They engage my brain and I can’t drop it until I’ve figured it out. It’s both enjoyable and frustrating.

Fellow AuDHD, I know all too well how hyperfixating can be a blessing and a curse. I may take a walk before writing my own thoughts on this prompt, the time to declutter my brain. Ahaha…
