Being ADHD is annoying as fuck. There's a billion games I want to play, I uninstall a bunch, download a bunch, play them, get bored, then repeat.
>>744643018ADHD people work best under a timer.
I think that sand can be quite usesul too.
Stop giving in to made up labels, discipline your mind. Don't take drugs given by doctors
>>744644672Every time someone mentions ADHD, there's always that one dude that's like "ADHD is fake, bro, don't take drugs, get disciplined", completely denying any and all science and research like a fucking caveman.>ADHD didn't exist before the digital age!And people used to believe cutting your skin and allowing blood to spill would cure you of disease. People also used to believe that you could prove a woman was a witch (or not) by drowning her underwater. Germ Theory wasn't even a thing prior to the 19th century.We have technology to avoid retardation. Let's fucking use it instead of calling shit made up.I bet you avoid vaccines too, don't you?
>>744644672I don't take the meds but you sound like a retard. It's very clearly a real thing.
>>744644856the funny thing is, ADHD would likely be a beneficial trait in the pre industrial era
>>744643018Is this adhd? Cause I do this a bunch and dont know how to stop other than just installing and playing one at a time
>>744643018Wait untill something randomly clicks and now youve spent the last 2 months playing one game 20h /day and you cannot do anything else in your life and everything around you is falling apart.
>>744643018Honestly I don't know anon, I've heard you should set systems and maybe find something outside of games but honestly, there are few things like videogames that provide that instant feedback and dopamine that our brains so thoroughly crave
>>744644926It /could/ be inattentive-type ADHD. I'll tell ya my story and you (and other nonnies) could pick out similarities.When I was in my early twenties, I never considered I had it. I was hanging out at my friend's house playing on their playstation and he watched me open up a game, play it for five minutes, close it, and then open another, repeated for like ten games.I didn't even realize I was doing it. Like, I had zero clue until he was like "Dude, you went through like 8 games and you only played them for like three minutes".I thought about it when I went home. Talked to a psychologist. Got tested. Lo' and behold, ADHD (inattentive-type).Now, for context, I was already diagnosed with Severe Recurring Major Depressive Disorder (depression), so I was already lacking in dopamine. There was the chance I didn't have ADD at all and it was simply depression being a bitch.That said, ADD medication has 100% helped me out, so I'm p confident in it, but every brain is different.
>>744644926When you consider that normgroids just play CoD or Fortnite every night for an hour or two after fucking their girlfriends it becomes obvious something is wrong if you're juggling 4-5 different niche games constantly and playing 6+ hours a day every day.
>>744644856Oh my fauci
ADHD is not real lmao
>>744644856Hey I got "diagnosed" too, but I didn't use it as an excuse for everything and decided to actually try. You're in control of your mins>>744644883Take the ritalin retard, you don't have a brain to fuck up anyway might as well take some meth
>>744643018Play Nuclear Throne.
>>744645254Why this particular game? Genuine question
>>744644856People saying that ADHD is fake just because it wasn’t recognized historically are retarded and aren’t really worth debating with, but it’s also good to recognize that many people have a learned attention disorder that comes from bad habits and can be eased by curtailing those bad habits.I wouldn’t recommend anyone to run to doctor first if they have trouble focusing, but to first try to fix their brains by slowing down the pace of their lives by removing most of the optional ”noise” and avoiding multitasking. Now, if that doesn’t help and/or symptoms have been continuous since early childhood, then you have a case for meds.
>>744645245I mean, obviously, don't use ADHD as an excuse to sit there and bedrot. I'd personally say if you have the time, hit the gym.If you hit the gym, you'll find a bit of dopamine from exercising, a bit of happiness from knowing you're doing something objectively positive, and, most importantly, maybe a hyperfixation. If you develop a fixation to exercising, you win life. Everyone with ADHD should head to the gym to see if it "clicks" with them. Just don't take roids.And then because you're not playing games every day, they start to have a novelty factor that helps you actually complete them regardless of ADHD.Good to do. And you can do it even if you're unmedicated or undiagnosed but suspecting.
ADHD and autism. Why does everything feel so wrong, anons?They even said I'm unemployable. I just wanted to fucking stock shelves at Walmart because organizing shit is actually enjoyable for me. "You never work a day in your life."
>>744644856It doesn't help that you also had waves of overdiagnoses. Like starting in the 90s in the US (South Park made fun of it), while in my country ADHD diagnoses were handed out like candy 20 years ago to unruly dumbass piece of shit kids leading to people getting the impression that it's just a general form of retardation.>Germ Theory wasn't even a thing prior to the 19th century.Given how normies operate, I wonder if there were people who had the inkling of germ theory prior to that but were dismissed at best and actively harmed and suppressed at worst.
>>744646067>while in my country ADHD diagnoses were handed out like candy 20 years agoAlso happened with diagnoses of dyslexia in my country, btw. There is a massive difference between kids who just won't bother to learn how to spell and clinical dyslexia, in case of the latter there's a huge disconnect between their general level of intelligence and how they spell, they can be fucking incomprehensible and even do shit like confuse the letter W with M.

>>744646067There were plentyOne of them being Ignaz Semmelweis>early 1800s, maternal wards causing high deaths for moms and doctors alike>Doctor who first advocated for hand washing before entering wards>Reduced mortality rate from 18% to 2%>Claims rejected by public>Outcast by the community>Committed to an asylum and beaten to deathF. At least his work was given its rightful dues after his death
>>744645381Many games are very slow and boring in pacing in comparison to Nuclear Throne. It is also satisfying to play Nuclear Throne even if you had a very short session with it.
>>744643018I had the ability to actually obey my ADHD urges abused out of me, so I just get intensely sleepy after playing anything I enjoy for like half an hour as my nerves start disengaging. The only consistent exception I've found is stuff where I have to restart so often I never fall into a flow.
When i get overwhelmed by an MMO i make a list of things i want to accomplish, like x amount of quests doneIt helps for about an hour or two
>>744646681Fuck, I didn't know this story. Normalfags are profoundly evil people.We saw a microcosm of this behavior during covid. I hate to be all like "le both sides bad" but both among "trust the Fauci" narcs and right-wing types who outright rejected science.
>>744647048I feel the same way. I was sceptical of the covid vax because it was a slapdash rush job that came out in 1/5 the time it nornally takes for a vaccine ti be approved with zero long term clinical trialsBut i still get my meningitis boosters
>>744646803Thank you, I'm gonna try the game
>>744643018What's up with this ADHD/autism spiel that been going around lately, is it the latest scam?
>>744643018Oops, better take your pills! That'll surely make things all better.
>>744645965you should try working at a library, idk how it works there but here people diagnosed with disabilities are pretty much guaranteed an interview. We have lots of employees with the 'tism that just like to sort books. I spent a whole day last week sorting our comics by publisher and series because I didn't like that they were all mixed in with each other.
>>744643018Some of my time i'm like that, i download, install, play a few hours then uninstall. Currently i started a CK3 and HoI4 binge that will last 1-2 months
>>744646681>beaten to death for telling people you need to wash your hands
>>744644896True, just do primal shit OP.ADHD is just a fancy term for Primal brain.Go outside, climb a tree, carry a big rock up a mountain.My neighbors all think I'm retarded, they're correct.When it rains or the sun goes down, then you go back to your cave and play vidya.
Legit question. Can people with ADHD play grand strategy games? From time to time i hyperfocus and play 10 hours a day and other times i can't be bothered to boot the game.
>>744652419I shit you not back in grade school kids would make fun of me for washing my hands after using the toilet. Normalfags are filthy by default, they need to have cleanliness beaten into them from early childhood. Many of them stopped taking showers altogether during covid because it wasn't expected of them socially (normalfags base everything they do on social expectations, that's why they'll drop a hobby they may have enjoyed individually if they believe it'll make them look bad in front of people). Many people already admit to not showering daily and like 20% of men in the UK wear the same pair of underwear all week, and that's just the amount that will admit it. Remember that the next time they'll spout mocking platituted that you don't have a girlfriend because you don't shower.
>>744654081>Remember that the next time they'll spout mocking platituted that you don't have a girlfriend because you don't shower.Many men don't even wipe their ass and get a GF.Only people who enter other's homes, Internet, plumbers, etc. Know the true squalor these subhumans live in.
>>744643018Pick one game and finish it before playing another game.
>>744654665Yes, people tend to hang out with ones like them. This is why many moderately high IQ people have severe trouble dealing with genuinely low IQ ones because they can't fathom their behavior, they are like Native Americans with no defenses against smallpox. I was quite sheltered as a kid so I received quite a bit of culture shock in my young adulthood.Also, a few years ago I ordered a used Xbox 360 E cheaply. The console was at least functional but the casing especially in the vent area was absolutely slathered with filthy gunk, and the controller was so filthy I had to disassemble it and clean the buttons because they'd struggle to press. It gave me another glimpse because I wouldn't even know how to make it so filthy on purpose.
>>744654875easy to say as a non ADHDer
I really hate how stigmatised ADHD. From those who think it’s fake or those who make it their entire personality. It’s a struggle but you see chicks online go “teehee my ADHD made me do it!”I don’t think I’ve told anyone I have ADHD because it’s nothing but downsides. They’re not gonna excuse anything I do and I wouldn’t want to be a person that wants anything I do to be excused
>>744645965My favorite ADHD waifu
>>744644672You can't change biology by thinking hard. It's a brain makeup/chemistry thing.>"If I really really really want it, I don't have to eat or sleep anymore!"
Video game?
>>744652749That's hyperactive-typeInattentive is the bad one. That's where you just procrastinate constantly, forget things, have no motivation and can't be bothered to climb a tree because you've done it before and it's not novel anymore.
>>744658849Honestly part of ADHD getting misunderstood is due to the name alone. Normies are all about vibes, they look at the "hyperactive" part and think it's all about running around and being distracted like "oh look a squirrel" when there's so much more about it and more debilitating.But misconceptions happen anyway regardless of semantics. There's so much (justified) focus on the social aspect of autism that very few non-professionals pay attention at the fact that it's also a disorder of movement, or that being obsessed about a subject does not guarantee that one will be competent about it.
>>744658849I was diagnosed with ADHD combined type, what super powers did I get?

I have insane ADHD and I have 4-5 games installed at one time and play one depending on whim. I have 8+ games I haven’t played yet in my tabs and I’m always reading 4 or more books at the same time>>744653106Idk if you count CKIII as grand strategy but I play that sometimes
>>744656421Geo fucking won.
>>744643018>schizoid>play arpurger>>oh wow these companions are so cool having friends is so fun I must get them irl >irl people aren't like arpuger companions and aren't fun or interesting to intecact withI wish I had normal brains
>>744665313Mega Manly he is.
>>744643018Most people aren't actually ADHD they're just a combination of low intelligence, neglectful parenting and youthful vigor. If you just shut the fuck up and focused on the task even if it doesn't immediately stimulate your little pecker you'd quickly learn to escape this undisciplined retardation you call "ADHD" This goes for 100% of the anons ITT who thinks they have it The good news is is that the fix for you really is simplehttps://youtu.be/sdb4rNFRzU0
>>744666481The funny southpark bit works on children out of fear and they also end up learning how to pretend they are doing shit.Do this to an adult with ADHD and they are not going to comply that easily and it is hard to find someone willing to constantly want to babysit a manchild.
>>744666481>>744669021I've seen that clip reposted a lot on xitter by the "ADHD is bullshit" crowd where they don't know they're being made fun of in that episodeThat side of xitter is weird anyway, like PC Principal and the episodes that mock SJW shit are a decade old at this point but I see those clips reposted and people treating them as if they were brand new
