Putting your foot down and telling yourself to do something then not doing it because nobody tells me, not even me.
1: Cut all those chains and never get anything done!
2: …
3: There’s no profit in this.So is that why I’m decently productive at work but it’s a miracle if I can force myself to do the laundry or load the dishwasher or other chores?
Very likely. I find it also has a lot to do with environment, like work is the place I go to get stuff done, home is the place I play games and chill. So when it’s time to get stuff done at home, the wires get crossed a bit.
I’ve recently taken up using a check list app to make sure I do the million stupid little dumb things I need to do during the day and it’s been really helpful.
Which one do you use may I ask? My life is hell.
yep. ugh
Memes like this are why I asked to be screened for ADHD as an adult. Thanks for this. Vyvanse is the best thing to have ever happened to me, when I can find it.
Combine ADHD with BED and #ThisIsWhyImFat. “I want to lose weight and get healthy”…”too fucking bad”.
Can you elaborate a bit?
The meme’s from this sub often do resonate with me, but I had understand that most of these things are commonly experienced by people just generally, but a diagnosis of ADHD will depend on the degree to which these things are experienced, and the harm they’re causing.
I do struggle with my mental health, (as in, struggling to be productive because I’m paralyzed by anxiety), but thus far (I’m 41) I’ve managed to hold it together. I’ve built my own small business with a few staff. IDK if I’d call it “successful” but it’s enough to provide for my family so I must be “functional” in some capacity.
I’d love to be diagnosed with whatever thing that is easily treatable with whatever drug that will cure all that ails me, but having been on and off SNRIs and SSRIs over the last few decades, I know that’s a promise that meds rarely fulfil.
Some of these memes are scarily accurate to me, I’m very seriously considering getting a diagnosis.
Do it. Whats the worst that could happen, you find out you’re normal?
Or you could self assess first. The diagnostic criteria is public knowledge.
My wife tried to talk me out of it, talking about Ritalin zombies from elementary school. Honestly if anything, compared to my baseline I feel like a superhuman when my SSRIs and amphetamines kick in. Then I realize that that’s what “normal” is supposed to feel like.
Spot on
Except I think of it more like this
The trick is games. When the computer gives you an objective and then your score, you don’t feel like it’s some other asshat trying to play you. You’re doing the playing!
Now get Habitica from the play store.
Habitica worked for about a month until it lost the new factor and I just never looked at it again, just like all the other habit apps
I started a bullet journal to manage my days and it helped a lot with this.
this worked wonders for me
then bullet journals lost its “new” factor and now its dusting in the corner w all the other calendars, organisers, diaries and notebooks I tried to start
