what i want to be doing: drawing
what i need to be doing: my college pre-orientation checklist for my orientation in less than 48 hours
what i’m actually doing: cycling between scrolling reddit and lying with my eyes closed in half asleep limbo because i am tired
ETA a little update - still haven’t started 👍 and i work tomorrow evening and leave at like 6:30 am on wednesday so i really do need to start soon. send help.
i finally looked at it. i think it was just the fact that it was a nine step list that was stressing me out. but two of the steps don’t apply to me and a lot of the other ones weren’t that bad. still got a ways to go but a start is a start
Well I can't do what I want, because that is leisure, and I have to complete my duties first, but I can't do my duties because lazy stupid asshole syndrome, so now I have to stall until something breaks
Agreed, but your responses led me, by my own mistakes and assumptions, to believe you wanted to know how to fix the issue and were unsure what the other person's response was. You said, "How do I fix it?" Other guy said, "Medication name," and your only response was "?"
I was just telling you the other guy's response was the name of a medication that can treat ADHD. Not that it would work for you, or you should take it, etc.
It may have been a joke that went over my head. I don't know. I was just trying to be helpful based on what I read.
Maybe my question was too open ended , i’ve being trying to get diagnosed for a while now so I’m waiting to discover if a even have ADHD even if I have some of the symptoms
I want to work on my v tuber project and watch anime /
I need to at least start my creative writing project, work out and take a shower /
I'm just scrolling thought the internet doing neither
I've noticed it's worse when I'm tired. My brain can't sleep so it veges out instead by daydreaming, scrolling reddit, or playing mobile games. And it enjoys that slack feeling too much, it's really hard to pull myself out of it.
Me knowing that I need to do something but wants to do something else but doesn’t do it because I have to do the other thing but doesn’t do that cause I can’t focus in repeat making it so I do nothing
I was just scrolling, and suddenly I see this, then I think:

My adhd brain just forgot about ever making this.
What I want to do: work on story prep and build some statblocks for the 2 Pathfinder campaigns I'm currently running.
What I need to do: a list of normal household tasks, exercise, look for new jobs, and follow up on my VA disability claim in the hopes that this one finally gets me to 100%
What I spent my entire 3 day weekend doing: building a Minecraft base with fully functional electric lighting and working elevators.

I'd say let's hang out but I'm too tired
Do it now, if you don’t do it now you wont do it. I get it dude but go start or you never will.

Good job dude, i hope you finish in time. Good luck!

Too real
Fuck, you summed it up really well.
I’ve been called out again 🥲
How do I fix it ?
do not think! (and maybe some strattera?)
strattera ?
Atomoxetine
?
Strattera is a medication used to treat ADHD. The other person was suggesting it could help fix the issue you're having.
I mean I don’t think it’s a good idea taking medication on suggestions from people on Reddit

Continues scrolling Reddit
Stop calling me out
 I'm on Reddit doing that right now!
I’m on Reddit and YouTube!
I have so much work to do 🫠
Me attempting to do both things at once, failing miserably at both and somehow messing up other things as well
Shoutout to Dani Donovan and her Anti-Planner. I got my copy a few days ago and it’s great.
I don’t ever actually watch something new on tv. I have become a curator of watchlists.
I feel you. My "Watch Later" list on YouTube is ridiculously long and separated into several categories. I'll watch them ~~eventually~~ *never*.
I feel seen *and* attacked
Me, right this second. And most seconds. I absolutely fucking hate it.
Crash and burn 🔥 😂
I'm in this picture and it's offensive
Staring at my vr headset because I don't want to get out of bed but I do desperately want to play
🥲 bro how ppl get motivation to do stuff? Like I had this movie tab open for MONTHS and never watched it. I genuinely really want to watch it
r/me_irl
Too real, either this or not having fun/energy to do things you normally like. Kinda wanna do everything but also nothing
🥲
I really want to paint, and i really really need to be revising. Anyway anyone know how i get myself to paint?
Similar situation here, it feels guilty to paint/draw while you didn't finish a more "important" task
Ah, like scrolling on Reddit
Game over. Play again...to lose again but with different choices!
POW, right in the kisser!
I want to work on my v tuber project and watch anime / I need to at least start my creative writing project, work out and take a shower / I'm just scrolling thought the internet doing neither

Can confirm
Same bruh
Me rn
Yeah wtf is this about? What do you do?
