“When I’m in a worst ADHD symptom competition and my opponent is erectile dysfunction”
or something, I don’t know, the post was too long, I didn’t read it all.
The trick is to just passively work out at all times when not doing something that prevents you. Just start doing some squats or something. Nonfiction audio books or educational podcasts also fun.
You won’t get more done, but you will get, for example; thighs that can crush steel like a hydraulic press-first invented in 1795 by the same guy as the modern flush toilet and…
Occasionally I’ll start vacuuming or something just so I can stop, because I’ve been going for like an hour and I feel kinda sick, but that can’t be counted on.
I’ll start that tomorrow
I just wish I could bottle enthusiasm. Some days I’ll get nearly bottomless drive and energy, and shit gets done. I’ll go like the tasmanian devil in reverse and everything gets super clean and tidy and I can not be stopped
Most days ill do fuck all useful. Just an entire day of checking the time and wondering what I was supposed to be doing, spending 15 minutes looking for my shoes and then forgetting why I needed them.
If I could just save the excess inspiration from my good days and ration them out as needed life would be so easy.
It’s pretty much the only symptom that my meds help me with, when paired with the structure of a 9to5 job (it’s still not enough to make me function outside of work).
Having a 9-5 is such a trap for me. I excel as a waiter or barista, where I can manage lots of high priority/low importance tasks (I’ve been in customer service too long to really consider anything that happens in a cafe important, unless something’s on fire. The other important thing would be serving someone unsafe food, but I don’t fuck around with food safety), but just can’t make myself do low priority/high importance tasks with any regularity. I used to have a job where I was legally required to do things within 30/60/90 days and I regularly pulled all nighters to make up for weeks of inaction.
I would really like to earn more money than customer service yields, but it’s hard to find something that fits. I’ve started teaching, which is new and therefore not a problem, but I can already tell that I’ll let corrections go longer than I should once the shine of teaching wears off
My meds used to manage my executive dysfunction very well, but now they don’t I have been dragging my feet through the mud ever since.
OP, just use hyper focus as a super power!
/s obviously.
I had someone saying this one. That hyper focus is a super power. As if I can ever control what it’s focused on or when I get it. I really dislike when people try to make ADHD seem like something useful and quirky instead of something debilitating.
I wonder how peoples with these problems get those memes done. I’m still writing in my head a text which I wanted to post on another community half a year ago.
simple, just pick a task that’s crucial to your health and wellbeing that you absolutely have to get done by the end of today and, voila it’s 11:25 PM and you look down and see a bunch of memes you just made instead of doing the critically important thing that you now have 35 minutes left to do
“simple” is a very relative term ;)
simple: just have the random hyperfocus topic generator say that it’s meme time
Good example of “simple doesn’t mean easy”
