During the 36 weeks I've been on T, I'e noticed I've become narrow-focused. I used to sneer when folks around me told me they could literally only focus on one task at a time. That was my inner multi-taksing snow coming out, because after a near-decade of working with young children, I could spin a web of concentration and minimise the damage that 18 2yo could do to one another.
Now, though, I can't even check my text msgs while talking with a friend, because when I glance down to read it, I look up to find an angry or impatient expression waiting for me. Which 1) I shouldn't be checking msgs when I'm having intentional friend time and 2) I've been blanking out for the last 20 seconds.
I'm working really hard to maintain focus, and also recognising that I'm up against actual altered brain chemistry.
Bodies are... complex. And I'm re-learning mine.
