When I am doing something like reading, a project, or artwork, I can do it for hours or days and totally ignore the world around me.

I am in a fog and it is hard to snap out of it until I feel I am done with whatever I was doing. I get this glazed over look in my eyes.

My husband and kids laugh and say 'mom is in the zone'.

I dont mind but it does cause problems sometimes with missed appointments or being late for one.

Its not OCD, its just loving what im doing and getting 'stuck in the zone'.

Never been diagnosed with anything and dont see a therapist so, I dont know.

I come from a long line of artists and musicians and wonder if its just a character thing?
