It's getting really bad because now it's ADHD mixed with massive depression because of the cycle I feel stuck in, the meds aren't helping me do anything but stay awake and have more energy. I'm about to lose everything I care for in life because I just can't shake my mind out of this shit.

Make sure to talk with your Doctor and express that feeling, I've been also in testing meds cycle it sucks but I'm sure I'll find something that works, you got this.

I hope so, just about everything that could go wrong in my life has done so in the last 6 months. I'm really at the end of my rope.

You fool!

Just make a pact with the devil instead. ... Adderall helps too.

I keep trying to do the deal with the devil but Satan answers my prayers about as much as God does.

This is being a normal human being at the weekend. This isn't ADHD specific.

I think the original tweet is saying this is their every day life bc of their adhd.

Being their every day state of existence and not having any control over it is the piece that is adhd specific I believe.

There's always one of you people who has to chime in like this. Yes, neurotypicals can be like this. But for a person with ADHD it's not a choice, it's far more intense, and it's debilitating when you're aware of it and can't force yourself to do otherwise.

[–] Dra@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not a choice for 'neurotypicals' either. This is simply a result of certain personality traits, notably, being low in Conscientiousness (Big Five), high in Neuroticism and Openness. It's a (very common) type of person.

I'm all for the categorisation of ADHD but the amount of Zoomer Google Self Diagnosis that just makes shit up is absurd.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A neurotypical is far more in control of their actions in this situation and it's absolutely a choice. They don't have to deal with hyperfocus and executive dysfunction the way someone with ADHD does. This isn't some self diagnosis bullshit, and it's reductive at best and actively harmful at worst to suggest we don't suffer from it or that because neurotypicals can exhibit similar behaviours, that means we're just making things up. I'm diagnosed and most people here are too.

You aren't neurotypical, so how would you know?

My trick is to do as much as possible during the first hours of the day, and THEN get anxious.
