The lighter side of ADHD
I'm autistic, so it's not a one-for-one; but some similarities to ADHD, and what's worked for me, is exercise.
Walk 10000 steps a day and go to the gym 3 days a week and lift as heavy as you can.
Use the GZCLP program and you're golden.
Plus, you get healthier AND you'll look better naked.
yeah ill get to that tomorrow thanks
+1 for GZCLP. Of all the beginner programs out there, this one resonates best with everyone I've introduced it to.
That's similar to my experience with getting diagnosed in my early 30s (after forgetting about a childhood diagnosis with no treatment). Missing from the statement is the profound impact to self-esteem from being incapable of doing things that one should be readily capable of and being told that one needs to "apply themselves", as well as the emotional self-harm from judging oneself by neurotypical standards.
Also, good seeing you posting again, Stamets. Hope things are going well.
Fuck don't say this, I'm 30
Suddenly realize as a 24 year old i might be really young for lemmy. Every one is above 30s lol
Edit: and most seem to be ADHD, questioning what am i doing here.
Diagnosed at 42....
true, but also -- 46
37 actually
43 but we are getting my son tested he’s 11 there were signs even when he was very young. I feel a little guilty we didn’t do it earlier.
You're doing it now. That's enough. 👊
This one hurts.
Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow. The bane of every project, started or not.

I'm 30..and even medicated it's hell
Imagine going untreated even a decade after that
Even when diagnosed with medicine, I sometimes struggle to remember to eat it.
been cleaning that basement tomorrow for 4 years now.
even started it twice.
34! I was hoping one day I'd figure out what to do in life and through that knowledge everything would just click into place and things would feel good and right and worth doing. Turns out the answer to life's great mystery is amphetamine.
I've just accepted that that's never going to be something I can do and that existence is pointless and miserable and I'm not capable of doing anything more than killing time till I die
As someone who finally got diagnosed at nearly 30, this hurts. Fuck, I've wasted so much of my life.
