I have a difficult time concentrating on what's important to me, I spend more time doing worthless shit like listening to music for a couple hours that lead me to staying up late. Every time I try to improve myself such as, exercising, eating healthy food, going outside, try to talk to people, I will eventually mess up again and again and again and then go back to being a bum who still has no friends.
>>34321553Try and find something that motivates you: programming, writing, learning a language, whatever really sparks up your interest.Even then it’s not constant: I have periods of time during which I’ll be productive for 10 hours everyday and others where I won’t do shit. These can last from one week to several months.
>>34321553have you tried detoxing and boring yourself to the core before?like sitting still or doing nothing for hours or going without a phone and stuff to do for a week at leastjust curious
>>34321553It's because you need to attach a punishment or a reward to the end of everything you want to achieve. ADHD brain does not fucking care about processes. Processes are for autistics, linear point A to point B to point C shit bores you to death. What ADHD means is your brain is goal driven, not process driven. And whenever you encounter a process you give up. Unless you attach a punishment or reward at the end, a goal. And yes punishment is a goal too, specifically the avoidance of punishment, being able to evade punishment feels like an accomplishment. ADHD brain requires constant micro-goals, micro-rewards, micro-punishments.Here's the best part: You already do this by default as an ADHD. That's why you get sucked into music or doomscrolls. That's your brain seeming reward, reward, reward. And then when you fuck up or lament about not doing stuff, you do what? You punish yourself mentally, "impostor syndrome" kicks in and you start torturing yourself in your own head viciously over it.The trick is to keep doing both but rechannel those energies. Reward yourself for doing things, no matter how small or trivial. Punish yourself for things too, but don't fall for the gay self punishment in the form of bullying yourself in your own head. Start taking away privileges from yourself, deprive yourself if video game time, start taking away distractions as punishment. This forces ADHD brain to iron itself out
i am not op
>>343215531. Consult a private psychiatrist.2. Tell them your story and your concentration problems and how this affects your life.3. They will prescribe one of these three: methylphendiate, lidesxamfetamine, or aderral.4. Take the medication.Problem solved.
adhd isn't real OP. stop using their ownership language. it would be like a slave saying "gosh it really sucks being a slave what should i do?" well first try seeing yourself as something else.
>>34322760Who cares. What matters is shit like how I should've gone to sleep hours ago in order to go to the gym early morning. And right now I'm watching baneposting vocaroo on yt instead
>>34322746Imagine needing some shit like this just to function Pathetic
>>34321553>adhdtoxins and parasites
>>34321553Don't look upon failure/messing up as a loss. Because it's actually a gain. Every time you percieve that you have messed up you have graced yourself with a learning opporitunity to analyze how it could have been better. I am literally number one in the world at multiple things because I have ingrained this into my mentality for years. The master has failed more times than the novice has ever attempted.
>>34326171Counterargument: Limited lifespan + brain development capacity declines in young adulthood. Fate is cruel. Father time is the rapist.There is NO ADHD advice that surprises me anymore, none. My instinct for the right course of action, how to ensure those priorities are met, what I need to think about, what I need to do is excellent frankly. Even ideas that run through my head that aren't quite right or potentially aren't right, I can frame as a logical problem waiting for ever-clearer resolution with ease. The meta-perspective to color my thoughts with different shades of truth and connecting them back to my master plans comes easily to me. My goals and their merits are straightforward as fuck.So at least for now, the novelty is flatlined: I just have to sit back and watch myself stumble and fuck up as I slowly and gradually crawl up the self-improvement line. Until I manage to take control of my sense of agency, it all just looks like disgusting fate: me looking like a clown, fucking up, screwing around and embarrasing myself, less and less and less, far too fucking slowly.Not OP, I'm just in a fucking venting mood because I'm procrastinating on facilitative shit
>>34322746What about Vyvanse
anyone who uses the term "adhd" unironically is lost. time for a reset op. adhd doesn't exist.
