        Vor’Thalarium entwines the threads of understanding, Tzal’Narethin veils the familiarity of @Martineskirt. Let the realms of relatability part, and the shadows of disconnect descend.

        Did it work?

          Nope, I’m still there. I’m more powerful than any of your curses. My only weakness are my cat ears but you will never get them!

    Eh, I love structure. Cos I get dopamine from getting shit done. If I don’t get that daily dopamine, I get sulky.

    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.

      World expert Dr Russell Barkley seems to say that it’s a chemical issue in your brain, and that meds are by far the most effective treatment we have. And that ADHD affects all aspects of your life, so if the meds do work for you, you would probably benefit from being medicated at all times.

      Some don’t like the meds, or they don’t work, but he advocates for taking your time to try many different drugs, in their many different forms, at various dosages… because once you find what works for you, it’ll make all the difference in the world.

      Personally, generic vyvanse (lisdexamphetamine) has been a godsend. The onset is so smooth, I don’t realize it’s working until I’m working, and then I’m like… oh shit, I’m making progress on my job search, sweet!

          Well yeah, there’s at least also structural differences in the brain, but the chemical aspect is the one that we understand best so far. At least that’s my take away from all the lectures and videos I’ve watched of his (and others)

            I just wanted to set things straight because people may misunderstand it (((says the person who posts screenshots of text with not ideal wording))).

        For me it was generic Ritalin with the same results, except instead of a new job I got a huge promotion and have been moving up ever since.

        Other meds had horrible side effects, which is why trying out several is absolutely necessary if the first one doesn’t work!

      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.

        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).

            Yup, there’s good reason I do the same things the same/similar way every day!

            Edit to add: I literally run on my routine as oppose to running on what time it is NT’s seem to, by which I mean, for example - I won’t have breakfast/lunch/dinner depending on it being breakfast/lunch/dinner time, but rather on where I am in my routine, so I’ll often have “breakfast” after noon, “lunch” in the evening, and “dinner” in the small hours of the morning, just because those are the times it happened to be when I reached those points in my routine, rather than the time of day dictating my actions… Does that make sense?

            Yeah I meant to communicate that I had the same issue. It’s a “fun” combination

            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.

                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.

    I’m kinda contrary. I can’t make anything if I don’t plan it extensively.
