I have bp1 and adhd as well. You nailed it perfectly, everyone teases me about being the dog from Up. Whenever I'm not paying attention or am not focused the wife just says "squirrel" and I try to refocus my attention. Kinda like our own code word. But my family does enjoy teasing me about it. On a funny side note, we were in Dallas one time on a family trip and we were talking about something and out of the blue I yelled out "Squirrel" (those are a rare sight for me since I live in the desert) and I really did see a real squirrel and everyone thought I was making fun of myself and not paying attention to the conversation (to be fair, I really wasn't listening to the conversation since my mind drifts a lot). Everyone laughed and they still tease me to this day about it. What can I say, I'm easily distracted and fascinated by squirrels.

I have the shortest attention span known to man (not really known to man but close enough, lol). I'm currently on adderall for my adhd and for the most part it does well in giving me focus (not 100% but a whole lot more than usual).
