Bargaining

Yeah this is the biggest thing that drove me to get diagnosed. I just wasn't doing anything I enjoyed because I couldn't get myself to do it. I would just watch YouTube instead. Now when I'm medicated I actually do the stuff that I'm interested in.

[hawlsera@lemm.ee]

True, but I'm still not convinced that there isn't a brain mind separation.

Yep, that's how I know by now a depressive episode is coming on.

Recognizing them earlier helps me to give myself a mixture of slack and forced "that's good for you so do it fucker" that usually gets me through them quicker and with less collateral damage than just waiting them out.

When you stare blankly at your steam library unable to pick a game as you know you the dopamine farms dried up.

I shower when my hair gets itchy

I've taken a few classes that touched on this concept. Most interesting to me is the concept of the two halves seemingly being secular vs deist, essentially. Now I'm wondering if the deist half is the "nonsensical" side, as you described.

Can't relate

I just go through running a game I think is interesting so it's at the top of my recently played and just go back to playing Ark.

Username checks out

[wizard_pope@lemmy.world]

Fuck I might have to get myself checked then.

[bassman1805@lemmy.world]

Yeah, it's weird explaining to people that every fiber of my being is screaming "DO THE THING" but something just gets...stuck along the way and I spend like 30-60 minutes hyping myself up to complete a 5 minute task.

[multifariace@lemmy.world]

Agreed. My brain is me. There is no me at my side. I am one. I also don't play much videogames. But I do tend to procrastinate on showers, so there's that.

Just to add for anyone reading, and I'm not diagnosing anyone, ADHD shares a ton of symptoms with anxiety, depression, and C/PTSD. It's also common to have multiple of those at once with a compounding effect.

I've always had a mild level of executive function difficulty(presumed ADHD, undiagnosed) but then i had acute anxiety+depression and saw how bad it can get. The comic is a story of the one good day you might get in a week.
