Hey now. I wasted my whole day doing pointless stupid shit, so I need those extra hours after midnight to do my pointless stupid shit.

[–] Szyler@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

I feel personally attacked. I just had a 2 hour nap because I did this yesterday.

It’s either that or a sudden frantic focus on important tasks but it’s already 1am.

Or an urge to work on something meaningful but you had one singular drink and you can’t focus but have the motivation lol

Well, it can take 2-3 hours to brush and floss if I think, "I'll glance at my phone," in between.

No diagnosis, but at least similar issues. Best metaphor I've come up with is that it's like trying to push two magnets together that are the wrong way around. Visually it looks simple as can be, but the invisible forces preventing it feel impossible to overcome.

But also "ooh, shiny" and proceeding to spend a few days obsessed with shiny new things.

[–] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

But just a few days, and not in a way to be able to capitalise upon it

The thing is, if we could do all the things that could fix our life, we could also do all the things that would make it worse. Better to not do anything it all.

[–] neatobuilds 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Except some of those things that make it worse are fun so I'll just do a little bit of that this time

[–] LouNeko@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

How else are we supposed to endure...

Oh come on it's too early for this reality shit, I want to laugh

for everybody reading this who haven't tried them already:

The meds help a lot. Stop overthinking it and just get the meds.

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I mean. Get diagnosed first. It might be something else

[–] Pxtl@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This is !ADHD@lemmy.world, I kind of figured people would join this sub after a diagnosis.

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

the internet is full of people who self diagnose

It’s the start of the semester, and this is me. Unfortunately I’m feeling it even while on my meds :( I think I’ve become tolerant to them.
