How do you stay focused when solo driving for more than an hour? After 22 minutes I slowly lose focus and after 45 minutes I can't stop my mind from thinking about my projects or books.
As a 24 year old kissless handholdless hugless virgin, when I drive i can only think about how good sex with a girl you're attracted to must feel.
>>29032419you need ADHD medication
Good instrumental musicAlso be in a country where defensive driving is mandatory because everyone is a psycho
>>29032419Your cockpit is not setup correctly.I had the same issue as you.You need to slightly adjust your seat, steering wheel, and mirrors until it stops happening.You might feel like you are already dialed in, but you are not. Make small adjustments within your comfort zone and test settings until you can fully concentrate and focus on driving from hours on end.Also, if you are driving a luxury car, try cracking a window open to get oxygen.
>>29032419>I can't stop my mind from thinking about my projects or booksthis is literally the best part of long distance driving, just letting your mind flow and stuff, it's so relaxing
>>29032419Ride a m/o/torcycle, every 22 minutes when you start to lose focus you'll almost crash and traumatize yourself. After a good while, your brain will be hardwired for hyper focus from all the trauma
>>29032439Except the car in front might come to a sudden stop even if not likely in your lifetime and your reaction might be slow.>>29032430I can read for several hours straight. I don't think I have adhd
>>29032458
>>29032459...okay, that might be me then. Wat do
>>29032419If I have to drive that far I usually just scroll instagram. Makes the drive feel a lot shorter.
>>29032465find a decent psych and get diagnosedit can be tough because there's lots of people out there going>I totally have ADHD bro I totally need tons of adderall I swear gimme a script bro I definitely need itbecause they want to get zooted or sell itbut if you actually show all the symptoms and can explain them and don't just act like a drug seeking speed freak it shouldn't be too bad
>>29032458I do and it makes me hyperfocus. It also means I can't listen to any extended conversations, or anything annoyingly short like short videos, radio ads, or phone calls. If I have to make or take any calls, I keep them short. I don't know how people talk for hours.
You don't. You train yourself to be in an idle driving mode where the only consious information that matters is the size and brightness of the tail lights in front of you, hazards, and sudden movements.
>>29032429if an automobile, as enthusiasts know it, can be considered a kind of life form, driving and maintenance is kind of like sex. the intended offspring is human inspiration and machine performance. if cars feel joy it is through being made better and faster and tougher and driven harder and longer than anyone says they should go.
>>29032469Sounds excessive, im just gonna try and find a diet and some supplements.
>>29032491It's worth it I promise
>>29032439mmmmm......84 somewhere east of boise? looks familiar
>>29032459only a (((doctor))) could come up with this retardation
>>29032702160 just south of Pahrump, funny how all the intermountain west states look like that, I find it quite beautiful The road is visible in this pic on the far right, if it wasn't smoggy and low res, pic from mt potosi
>>29032419You can't think about other stuff while operating a motor vehicle? That's weird
>>29032733crazy i got pretty close on the longitude
>>29032419You can't drive and think at the same time?
>>29032419Drive faster.
>>29032419Cocaine and airplane bottles
>>29032419You have a learning disability or something and shoudl not be driving. Normal people can focus on the road and think of other things at the same time
>>29032733>PahrumpFuckin knew it. High desert METHHEAD
>>29032439This. It's comfy as fuck.
>>29032919wym I literally live right at the base of the Sierra Nevadas, pic rel is like 15 min from my house
>>29032926Is that a nice place to do meth?
>>29032929I wouldn't know, I just drink beer and coffee
>>29032933Fixed hard top two door sidekick? I feel like I only ever see the removable ones.
>>29032933Most desert Californians do a lot more than Beer and Coffee. Let me guess, you do a lot of sex huh. Non-vanilla sex, iykwim. It's always either drugs, weird sex, or both.
>>29032942The black one had the removable top, this one was solid >>29032943idk why you're coming up with weird fantasies about me, I literally just wake up and drink coffee and work on cars and trucks til it gets dark, then I go shooting with night vision and thermal and drink beers, this is almost every night of my life
>>29032948You coulda just said "yeah bro i fuck your mom at coachella" but now i know you're into weird sex. Highly inappropriate.
>>29032950the game
>>29032956NiceWhere you at let me ride up and escape my wife. No sex for me though.
>>29032469NTA but God damn it. How the fuck do I not look like a fiend when I genuinely need it? I think I've found the missing piece to the fucking puzzle but now there's junkie fags that foil my health. I have everything you described.
>>29033041NTA but just find natural alternatives, no need to give the pharma jews money
>>29032419I blast loud as fuck music that makes me want to go faster
chainsmoke to a good playlist. cigars if youre fancy.
>>29033041A lot of it is just finding the right psych honestly>>29032704>>29033132Don't listen to these retards, they don't have ADHD or haven't actually been on medication for it
>>29032419drive faster like you could die any moment
>>29033326methamphetamine?
>>29033326If I take some adderall and I hyperfocus, that means I don't have ADHD right?
>>29033730Not quite, but most stimulants affect ADHD brains differently than neurotypicals.>>29033732If it makes you feel super wired then you probably don't have it.
>>29033733>super wiredYup. That was 20mg. I tried bringing it down to 5mg but it just made me feel horrible.
>>29033733>but most stimulants affect ADHD brains differently than neurotypicals.Not true, they affect everyone the same. Why wouldn't they? That's just what people tell themselves to feel special. Obviously someone who has taken it every day for years will have tolerance and won't feel the excitement and curiosity of someone who takes a sizeable dose first time.I was Dx'd in '03, I can take the same dose and get zooted one time or have hyperfocus the next time. Set, setting, and expectation - if a kid is told that they have a special brain and this will make them focus, they're more likely to use it for focus.
>>29033742You probably do not have ADHD and were misdiagnosed because some amount of hyperactivity and lack of focus is perfectly normal for children.
High-tempo music, good sleep the night before. Tap your fingers or dead pedal foot to the music to keep blood flowing. On a highway, focus on something like lane discipline or hypermiling to have something to think about.>>29033746Right. I don't think ADD/ADHD are even real physical disorders, I think it's a learned set of emotions and behaviors. Same with autism (which I was dx'd with in the '90s). I think you've been fed a bunch of BS by drug peddlers. You know antidepressants? The theory that serotonin differences causes depression has been fully disproven, but psychs still will tell it to you, because it's convenient for them.Adderall can make anyone focus, there isn't some magical "keyhole" that only appears for ADD. And, really, is spending 30-60 minutes answering silly questions enough to diagnose something like that? No, just because some psychiatrist says you have something doesn't mean you do; it's their job to diagnose you with disorders.This is not the time or place to argue this.
shut the fuck up you normie faggot you have no clue what you're talking about
>>29033753What you think is not particularly relevant.
>>29033758More relevant than what some liberal arts major thinks.https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2022/jul/no-evidence-depression-caused-low-serotonin-levels-finds-comprehensive-review>“Thousands of people suffer from side effects of antidepressants, including the severe withdrawal effects that can occur when people try to stop them, yet prescription rates continue to rise. We believe this situation has been driven partly by the false belief that depression is due to a chemical imbalance. It is high time to inform the public that this belief is not grounded in science.” They're there to sell you drugs, they don't care about the truth. They don't care it they're incredibly physically addictive, they can just keep prescribing and collecting their paycheck. Adderall actually works, but it works for everyone just the same.I read medical journals, want to make adderall stronger? Consume CYP 2D6 liver enzyme inhibitors and a stomach basifying agent (baking soda) a while before dosing. I read medical journals, psychiatrists do not.
>>29032419when you're not driving, play grand strategy map games. don't listen to podcasts, ever. your attention span in general is fucked not just when you're driving.
>>29032419The trick is to drive a car with vague as fuck steering - if you don't focus, you'll drift 2 lanes and PIT a small family.
>>29033811That’ll do it lol. I did an 800 mile trip in a Suburban that drifted right, you can’t lose focus and you’ll be angry as all hell by the end.
>>29032419When the miles get long I watch a movie on my phone. Pic sorta related but I keep my phone in my hand by the steering wheel.
>>29033829I heard a story about a girl who was in a car accident and can't drive without panic attacks, so she watches spirited away on her phone.
>>29033811Just ride a bike, lose focus and you die
>>29033827
>>29033772If it worked the same for everyone then everyone would be taking itEveryone doesntCoffee and smoking affect peoples moods differently with ADHDThats a proven thing.
>>29033733I remember back in the day grandma trying to make a point that I had autism by giving my mountain dew (it made me go to sleep)
>>29033772>prescription rates continue to riseI think the hard truth that they're not gonna admit is that the world fucking sucks right now and antidepressants are just another bandaid on the open wound.If you could still get a union job with a firm handshake and buy a house and a car and a car for your wife on that salary then I don't think so many people would be depressed.
>>29032459>"ATTENTION deficit">"Hyper FOCUS"Can't fool me with that jew pseudo-science
low dose cannabis
>>29036672it turns out that things are often more complex than their name alone would suggestwho knew
I drive 110km to work and back daily. To stay focused around the normies I blast the loudest millennial music I know and as a result I have never had a normie rekt my car.
>>29032419window down + music works wonders brother
>>29032419If you are addicted to nicotine you need to reup your nicotine reserves every 60 minutes
>>29036691What would that be?
>>29036654I disagree, companies get a ton of gibs so hire frequently. If you work as a mechanic in a city with a good position you can make a ton.
