Does anyone else experience anything like this?
I can go through periods where I only see the one thing that is in front of me and don't see anything else.
Some examples. If someone I care about is sick, my mind will focus 100% on that at all times.
I will not be able to watch TV, Won't notice the trash is full. House is dirty. Car is dirty. Lawn needs mowing. Not eating/shower properly. You get the idea.
It is like that one thing consumes all of my attention.
It can happen with anything, good or bad.
Conflicks are especially bad. One small conflict and my mind will get stuck in a visual loop for weeks.
It can also happen with personal interest and things I enjoy.
I feel it could be related to fixations/hyperfocus?
It is like a blindness or tunnel vision of the mind.
