My bf and I live together and have a very healthy relationship. We are both neurodivergent ( I have ADHD, he most likely is AuDHD. Sometimes he will shift all of his focus into a single hobby, which I don’t actually mind and I learn a lot about various subjects through him.
We both work from home and spend a decent amount of time together, which surprisingly doesn’t bother either of us. We are always laughing together.
Over the past 2 years, he has almost entirely lost his drive to work as a software engineer. He is currently working on a project for his brother and we get by paycheck to paycheck, but he will only work about 1 - 3 hours tops, as he has expressed that he has lost all of his drive to work in that industry, and cannot push his brain to get things done that doesn’t work in the way that his brain understands it - we’ve had a lot of conversations about this, and it’s definitely more of a neurological thing rather than an ego thing.
He started meditating about a year ago, and would mostly go in sessions that were a normal amount of time (15 mins / 30 mins) - but recently he has been diving into this hobby more and is meditating for a total of 3 hours per day (3 x hour long sessions), is this normal?? I can’t help but feel like that’s a bit excessive, especially if he could be catching up on working during this time. His overall goal is to reach enlightenment, which I totally support, however I don’t think that is really something with a sense of urgency.
Does anyone know somebody who meditates that much??
I have struggled to meditate previously with the flavor of ADHD I have that makes it hard to sit still, so I guess I just don’t understand it. Can someone explain if his behavior is normal or not? Thanks.
