Episode Synopsis
Episode 3: "Bingo Balls in the Brain" - ADHD & Hyperfocus vs. Inattention
Jason "Rudy" comes prepared with a video from Olivia Lutfallah (@olivialutfallah) that sums up exactly how he operates in situations where he overfocuses. In this video, we see a woman who wants to start the dishes and is derailed by unfinished tasks in the way. In essence, she needs to do seven tasks to do one. Add to that her underlying voice talking to her saying things like, you're so irresponsible and your voice sounds prissy.
Rudy talks about his own internal voice and how much his thoughts are like the bingo ball machine, bouncing around even after one ball has been called. Later on, they explore how that chaotic brain can hyperfocus on one ball when they're under a deadline. He also discusses how his wife likes to reorganize the kitchen. And then how hard it is for him to admit that he can't remember where she said she put stuff.
Krista goes into detail about how hard it is for her to deal with the ADHD inattention to instructions or information. Krista also experiences this kind of mental distraction, though for her it isn't a voice in her head. Instead, it arises when she is online or trying to work on one thing and an email pops up that pulls her attention away.
Sarah too has the mental voice that derides or delights in her past self who either did -- or didn't -- remember to buy the garbage bags or that other essential item. She describes, too, how it's an internal cacophany of competing goals and when there are too many bouncing around in her head, she malfunctions and simply stops all activity.
