adhd

Doing this allows you to actually free yourself from planned distractions of certain websites, which is designed to pull in as much as attention as possible...

One of the biggest things holding me back from leaving Reddit, despite the fact I hate the way they are handling, well, everything, is the sense of community with people sharing similar experiences as me, as well as sharing my hobbies. It's nice to be able to look at things other people made in a hobby you're interested in, but...

I’m new to lemmy and I’m loving it, but I’m not sure if im liking it cause I so desperately need to work on a work project or cause it’s actually cool. It’s probably both, but this recent discovery have me scrolling at 02:34 am while I have a work meeting in the morning… I wanna die…

I realize that this turned into a wall of text. See TLDR....

I am currently subscribed to 692 channels which sounds like the most adhd thing ever haha. I was curious if i was the only one with such a high number of channels subscribed too or if others are too.

I’ve been employed in the same company for the past 16 years as a systems analyst. Over the past 10 years or so I’ve always had 2-3 monitors (4 - 5 at times when I got real ambitious).

Edit: I was able to edit the typos I made in the title!

How many times must we say this? I'm over my limit when trying to extend a conversation past "oh cool" or not realizing someone was trying to share excitement or whatever with me....

Hello, everyone....

Hey all! I’m a software developer that was diagnosed with ADHD a few months ago....

I started taking methylphenidate recently, but went through a stressful patch and suspect it contributed to a period of bad anxiety. That’s mostly better now, and the doc prescribed me vyvanse (Elvanse here in UK) instead....

I get frequently asked. “Oh simple!”, I reply, “In the morning, I first try to find my phone. When I eventually find it, I realise that I miss my glasses too.” After I little probing break I continue, “When I do find them, half an hour later, I can only wonder where I have put my glasses this time.”...

Did anyone else have a weird experience with math? I could always do it in my head, really fast, get the answer, it’s correct… But then I couldn’t show my work or prove it, meaning it was useless. I’m curious if this is an ADHD thing? If so, does anyone know why?
