Once again, I am in this picture and I do t like it
what's that when you hate going on time but you have no issue doing it out of your own volition?
like if I set my gym time to 17:00 every Monday, Tuesday, Friday I can stick to that for less than two weeks.
if I don't set any time and Just go whenever I feel like I will go all those days to the gym and around the time I would have set out anyway,but it just feels different, like the first one is a chore you have to do and the second is, freedom, I do whatever the fuck I want whenever I fucking want.
And if you put two buttons in front of me, and one said "accomplish literally nothing for the entire rest of your life" and the other one said "participate in a single structured activity" I'd immediately slam the first one.
But how do we stop? I've been thinking about my days on Adderall when I was younger and that maybe I need to be back on something like that to get out of the hellscape that is my head.
No idea, I still haven't figured that out. Currently I'm trying to get a psychiatrist that will give me meds that will work for me.
Every time I see an ADHD meme I think of my kid.
Probably nothing.
You should 100% look into it just in case.
The comment was tongue in cheek. We're already preparing for a meeting with his GP.
I'm very happy to hear that. Growing up with untreated ADHD is miserable.
Doctor
Do I have to accept more pain to make this shit brain work?
Ie. Going into "prison"
I just made this comment, you may be interested in it: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/4112313
Yes! ❤️
Is there some kind of "reverse ADHD"? I feel the complete opposite.
I mean.. not opposite, but in this specific case: Autism?
Yes. Structure (of my choosing and creation) is good. And executive dysfunction is always present (the structure helps combat it some but anything outside the routine is really hard to get to).
Exactly this!
I also get mad when someone interrupts my routine.
Yup, there's good reason I do the same things the same/similar way every day!
Is that why I'm so fucked, having both Autism AND ADHD?
Yes
Autism
Imagine having both 🥲
I don't have to imagine unfortunately. But the need for structure vs the need for change balances out juuuust enough that it's like I'm almost normal.
Yeah I meant to communicate that I had the same issue. It's a "fun" combination
Is that just an internal battle constantly
Yes. For me, more and more so for the last few years it just starts to turn into freezing. I get stuck. My mind is racing and thinking of all the things I "could" do and instead I just sit motionless and borderline unable to move by my own will trapt in thought.
Like scrolling through My List on streaming media instead of watching anything!
I've literally done that for like 40 minutes on Netflix, but my Steam game library is even worse.
My List is where good movies and shows go to be ignored so I can pick something random not on the list that I have zero expectations of being good to avoid being disappointed.
Why imagine when it's already my waking nightmare? 😂😭
I'm kinda contrary. I can't make anything if I don't plan it extensively.
