I'm so unmotivated today, which is very inconvenient since I have so much that I need to get done.

Ok, I'm going to go do things now.. Any second, I'll get up from my desk and do the things.

Any moment now..

Not trying to be the "to a hammer, everything is a nail" guy, but have you been checked for ? :)

Funny enough, I found out by randomly discovering some (at times) silly youtube shorts.

Here's a couple channels with really good info (even the shorts):

If any of this sounds like you, (watch a handful of videos to get a feel for the symptoms), look for a local therapist that does ADHD testing.

My biggest tells:

  • rapid mood swings which can be severe, but explainable
  • Forgetting that friends/family exist (social blindness)
  • Executive dysfunction (can't get my brain to go in a straight line, small wrinkles in the progress of a complex task can totally sideline me)
  • Procrastination and perfectionism
  • Either lack of focus or hyperfocus
  • Easily distracted
  • Losing things
  • Physically or mentally restless
  • SO MANY HOBBIES
  • Disorganized
  • Lose track of time

Not everyone has the same symptoms, but they're all generally related.

@RL_Dane @joel @btp I can tick a number of those, there's a lot of cross over with mental illness.

Yes, having ADHD with depression/anxiety as comorbidities is not fun.

You need urgency to push past ADHD inaction, but then anxiety puts the kibosh on everything. Bleh. ;)

@RL_Dane @joel nah, I don't think I have any other symptoms. Just kind of tired and unmotivated today lol.
