Hello, I am new here....

Then promptly get distracted and don’t finish

If I can’t bring myself to get around to an important task, such as filing a tax thing or making a doctor’s appointment, I invoke my nuclear option: I give my best friend three hundred dollars in cash and tell her to spend it if I don’t prove to her that I’ve done the thing by a certain date and time....

Prefrontal Cortex (PFC)...

Did it work for you?...

Tachysensia...

I take notes and write up mini reviews on my laptop when I watch shows as its the only way I can follow what’s happening. Even with no distractions I tend to drift off into my thoughts....

It feels like everything is slowed down and nothing happens. I try to fill the time up with my hobbies and interests but can’t because they don’t feel satisfying on the weekend.

How bad are everyone else’s side effects? I currently take a 30mgXR in the morning and 10mgIR part way through the day. I can get some facial tics and other OCD like symptoms. They aren’t bad enough to lower my dose or make other changes at this point. Just wondering what others are experiencing and if anyone has any tips or...

This is primarily talking about state dependence with ADHD medication (stimulants)....

You don’t have ADHD

I saw this post on x-twitter that explains this phenomenon which I really relate to:...

Then you try to charade what they look like, then your coworker starts going down a list of other coworkers names and you’re like “Honey, I don’t know anyone’s name, not even yours. Except of Charley from accounting, he as the same name as my nephew, he also kinda looks like him, but as a grown ass man. Then you wonder...

So, I have come to the conclusion that the word “want” in my brain has two closely related meanings....

Long story short, Im 28, I work in a specific department in my factory called lighting, specifically I work in the truss department. Lately someone from a nearby but technically separate payroll has been “stealing me” to do drape (basically folding and putting away huge theater drapes) I’m getting annoyed because not only...

I’m not presently working but I trained, and worked as, a software developer. I struggle a lot with work and my working life has been very chaotic due to shit mental health. It seems like a really stupid idea, as being a chef is meant to be really stressful. However, the idea of it being fast-paced, immediate, physical,...

God I am miserable. I am in charge of managing some several thousand video recordings as well as making sure my notes on them are accurate (date time and number of clips)....

Almost every time I do laundry and the dryer stops after my meds have worn off this ends up being the case...

I will let go of all my normal home maintenance tasks, such as cleaning, laundry, taking out the trash, changing bed sheets, etc., until I have a deadline for work approaching. All of a sudden, I have all the energy in the world to focus on said tasks while I avoid the looming deadline that I must absolutely accomplish if I...

So I usually do oil changes on multiple cars for friends etc, it’s quicker to bang them out all at once....

I’m so overwhelmed with all the stuff I have to do and also don’t have accountability at work and it’s making it worse. Anyone want to be accountability buddies? Spend a moment every week getting to know each other enough to hold each other accountable and maybe send the occasional uplifting message?

I’m in tech and working with a guy on a very small project, but I’m definitely not able to make ends meet (thankfully family & friends have pulled me out several months lately). I’ve also been looking for a stop-gap job until I find a tech company that actually knows how to hire. But even that seems to be really difficult....
