Also, there's apparently almost no help from official sources on trauma and emotional control. I had to do everything by my own research. Therapists and councellors just gave me blank stares of confusion at any of my issues. Should I go onto any medication? The anxiety and avoidance is a huge issue. I think all my problems stem from poor emotional control. I can spend literally 16 hours on something I find interesting, but if it's "work" i have zero interest in it. I also can't read like at all without my mind wandering and not being able to focus on the page. https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20200121-why-procrastination-is-about-managing-emotions-not-timeApparently emotional disregulation and lack of focus is a part of ADHD.
>>32185848Stop listening to "doctors"All you need to do is harness all of that energy in a way that's productive. Once you find that thing that you're really good at, nothing else matters
>>32185977I obviously have real problems, but one on one intervention has been utterly useless. counselors and therapists seem like nitwits who know nothing.Which is wild because I've made progress, and done reading and watched youtube vids by psychologists. So in person i get blank stares, but these sources gives me specific tips and practices. I'm just confused why that is.
very bad.
you need meds. meds now.
>>32185848If you've made this thread twice before, I've already offered advice, but heres more.1. Be honest with yourself. Like, completely honest, embrace the bad feelings. 2. Don't seek validation from others. We all are just as fucked as you, not a single person in this universe is flawless or perfect. 3. Based on these 3 paragraphs and my own complete lack of experience, I would say you are "neurodivergent". Do with that what you will.
>>32185848>severe chronic procrastination>can spend literally 16 hours on something I find interesting, but if it's "work" i have zero interest in itvyvanse this is literally a textbook case of a drug existing that cures one specific problem. you have that problem. you need to take at least a little levoamphetamine salt now and then. any further inquiry is just denying the truth, you have a solved problem
>>32187502I disagree>can spend literally 16 hours on something I find interesting, but if it's "work" i have zero interest in itIf you can, genuinely, spend that much time consistently on one thing, I really dont think thats adhd. Or you are just literally addicted to that one thing. If you take adhd meds, and you already have the capacity to hone in on something for that long, I really dont think the meds will be helpful to you at all? You'd just be tunnel visioned like crazy
>>32187824>>32187502lol drug addicts
>>32187824adhd is either or focus. hyper focus on one thing, no focus on anything else.
>>32190536"adhd" isn't anything, just a list of symptoms. I've never met anyone who can do anything for that long that isn't already on stimulants
