But yeah this is me but replace it with general productivity, insightful ideas, and a general will to get my life in order. By 8am time to wake up and get back to spiraling.
Or with creative things, constantly re-read what I write, constantly analyze and revise u til it no longer resembles what I wanted and abandon the idea to move onto the next thing.
No? Just me? 🥺
I get a little spike in the morning but it's usually over in less than an hour. Then I get hit with task paralysis for the rest of the day, spiral when I go to bed, and if I'm lucky I'll get tired enough to slip into a mildly dissociative hyperfocused state.
I also can't do creative things. I have too many ideas, they don't mesh, I get frustrated and give up. And nothing is ever just right. There's always something to nitpick, something that needs to be changed. Writing is so hard. I have the thoughts, but I struggle to put them into words. When I do find the words, they never feel right. Sometimes it takes me an hour to write an email. It all just gets really frustrating sometimes.
