I really wanna enjoy longer games again

>>717166798
Nicotine is based if you have ADHD and there's a good reason why humanity grew to love the shit
It's basically a mild brain stimulant
Probably preferable to juicing your brain up with prescribed meth

>>717167017
probably
still vape way too much honestly

Usually I just don't play games, I read instead or listen to things in foreign languages (my native language is no longer interesting and different)

You have to learn at some point that what you're doing doesn't have to be interesting, and it doesn't have to be fun. You don't need to be entertained at all times. You chose to do it, so do it, no matter how you feel about it. Eventually, you will choose better.

play better games.

stop playing games for 12 hours a day.
spend a week away from your phone.
pick up a book and read it, yes all the way through, it will take you some time.
find a hobby that isn't screen related, and has a clear endpoint maybe painting miniatures, or assembling electronics kits, or just doing a puzzle.
go for a walk, or bike ride, any sort of movement in the sun.
once your brain has reset you can go back to videogames and you'll either find yourself more interested in them, OR you'll at least have something else to do when you hit that boredom point.
i go for 2 or more 15 minute bike rides every day, just toss a jumper on over my PJs, toss on some slip on shoes, and go, its short enough that i dont need music, but it really has helped with my level of energy.
i got a 3d printer and every few weeks ill assemble a project, right now im working on a mechanical left hand keyboard gamepad for a mate, firmware is taking a while, and i've barely scratched the surface on actual ergonomics, but its a fun thing to pick away at for an hour or two when i dont feel like committing to gaming, its nice to swap between soldering the small scale test, fiddling with firmware, and comparing online builds key placements.
books are a harder thing to get into, since you kind of need to commit a LOT of time to them, but i can blast through a pulpy YA novel in about a week by reading for an hour in the morning before i get ready for work, its bascially the fast food of literature, but i can steal a lot of the ideas for DnD shit i write for a different mate.

That's completely made up bullshit. Just grow up and do the thing, if you have actual depression then it's your brain is probably lacking something and you can easily fix that with drugs.

Thing is the publics perception of "ADD" is this kid mostly guy who just talks all the time, makes noises with stuff, has an energy level of 9000

That’s completely made up Jew bullshit. The chemical imbalance theory has been debunked for well over a decade. Psychiatric (and self medicating via recreational) drugs treat a symptom not the cause. Fix your life. Drugs may give you the illusion of something better for a short while but it will not last

The worst part for me is wanting to talk more but my thought process is so fucking scattered and quick that I get overwhelmed by responses or like what I just did while typing this I stop typing/talking to think about something random for a few seconds multiple times. Then I read over it and it happens again.

I once tried a friend’s Ritalin prescription and im not even exaggerating, it was like my mind had been clouded by literal neverending thoughts for my entire life and suddenly I could THINK. suddenly I could PROCESS. Suddenly I could UNDERSTAND my life, what to do, and most importantly, suddenly I had the WILL and ENERGY to do those things
It lasted for 2 hours, and I’m no t exaggerating when I say about 30 minutes after the peak, in one instantaneous moment my heart dropped 10 stories. A slow, aching emptiness seeped its way into my consciousness. Slowly down, down, down, down, into a deep, deep, deep melancholic 5 or so hours of just total despair and hopelessness, a heavy lingering hopelessness that I had never felt in even my worst depressions
Never, ever, ever again. Amphetamines are the devil’s drugs. They give you the rawest, purest, most plain hope imaginable. And then replace it with the opposite in the same breath. They are pure evil in pill form.

I remember being a little kid and deciding I was going to be smart and do my homework right as I got home instead of rushing to finish it before class. I sat down, glanced at the paper and knew it should only take me 30 minutes tops, and then I proceeded to stare at it for hours while my mind constantly slipped away in the middle of every problem to the point that I started crying wondering why my brain wouldn't just work. Went right back to doing it before class.

None of you fucking get it. If anyone with ADHD is reading this, stop thinking our affliction is anything special. It's like those "depressed" retards that think being suicidal is some badge of honor. Are you playing life on hard mode? Sure. But so is everyone else. They just might not have some clinical word for it. If you gotta take Adderall l to get in a focused state, fine. But also slowly wean yourself off it while striving to maintain that focus. THAT is self-discipline, and it's the closest thing to a cure outside of taking the equivalent of meth for your entire life.

You don't wanna get better. Simple as. I've had ADHD since before the advent of the internet made it a common illness. Fuck that talk of blood flow and shit. Yes, you're playing on hard mode. No, that's no excuse for you not getting a handle on it. Keep doomposting on 4chan and reddit, though. No one in the real world will ever think you are truly afflicted by anything other than self-pity.

>>717170961

recognize your "adhd brain" is cope for not facing your own responsibility in this matter
then adjust behavior
it works for just about everything in life, short of actual physical defects (ie obviously you're not going to be able to run if both of your legs are amputated)

>>717171945
I would rather take meth every day and die in 10 years than live life unmedicated barely able to do what I want to do. You normalfag niggers don't get it. What it treats is worse than any side effect it causes. If you disagree then you either don't have it or it's just not at all severe for you. Hell, I take care of myself far better when I'm on meds too. Suddenly I can listen to the voice in my head telling me to go to bed or to make something good to eat rather than throwing shit in the microwave.

>>717172396
If you can control them, that's because you were born with the ability to do so
Ultimately it's difficult to truly hold anybody responsible for anything they do because none of your choices are truly your own, but just a product of genetics and accumulated life experiences especially during your formative years

>>717172396
I said you're 'boomerbrained'. Your actual age doesn't matter, just that you have this mindset that anything you don't understand isn't real and any deficiency someone has, including actual birth defects and physical afflictions, can just be overcome with willpower.

Having no control over your actions isn't ADHD, it's fucking insanity and you need to be asylumed. But it's the entitlement middle class white kids who have no real threat to their livelihoods to tell others that know better that their affliction is actually impossible.

None of you have ever starved. Like, literally had no access to food. It's funny how these "insurmountable" mental conditions evaporate in life-or-death situations. Keep up the cope.

>>717172730
Mental illness is a matter of will. We have free will. Humans have free will, that is what makes us human. Jesus (God) cured those possessed by demons (see: allegory for mentally ill) by simple love and compassion and they found new life. How was the possible? Because mental wellness is a matter of will
I know your current existence is probably dependent on a perpetual state of victimhood, but one day, your desire to change will reach a tipping point over your desire to stay the same. And that day you will be surprised to learn just what you are capable of, what you were always capable of. Believe me, I’ve been there. Good luck anon

ADHD is a developmental disorder resulting from a flaw in brain development. It is actually detectable in brain scans. It's no different from any other physical defect like a small heart.

>>717171873
That's a brutal feeling. For me, I get that feeling once in a blue moon but it comes from something in my life giving me hope (new job, good news from family) and then yeah something in my brain will flip and turn that hope into despair(I'll just get fired from the job, the good news is actually secretly bad news) that will knock me on my ass for weeks. I got the energy and will to get up and do things when I first tried wellbutrin but it lasted only about an hour, no come down but it never triggered that some positive feeling again either.

>>717171046
That's wrong though?

>>717171994
Because you chose to do it.

>>717173219
I've been consistently bored and lazy since birth, inherited it from my dad who also spent his whole life bored, miserable and never achieving anything, I'd say it's just a highly heritable, undesirable personality trait at that point

>>717173314
>Sometimes people recover from that
Yeah, with drugs and radiation that kill the tumors. The difference is that you cannot 'kill' what makes you ADHD, it's not a lump of defective cells you can remove. It's caused primarily by an issue with brain flow, which there is no way with current medical technology to correct. So you cope by taking drugs, which alter your brain's behavior enough to compensate. In neither case though, is it defeated by willpower.

>anon, it's simple, just do what [person who does not have a neurological condition with no permanent cure] does!

every fucking time

>>717173460
Why should I choose to do something that won't give me anything in return? That's stupid.

>>717173314
>Yet sometimes people recover from that
Yeah and often they don't, you dumb fuck. Some issues stick with you or can be treated and removed and some can't. That's a basic fact of medicine. Are you from a third world country or something?

>>717173315
antidepressants are pretty annoying. Some can make you numb, some make you want to kill yourself, and some make you happier than your usual self but lower the height of emotions but they're mostly all different reactions depending on the person and you have to take them for a week or 2 to see if they work right for you.

>>717173485
>In neither case though, is it defeated by willpower
In that case you were supposed to die. Counteracting natural selection is evil.

>>717173693
ADHD doesn't kill you, it just makes your life suck.

i'm not lazy
it's just hard to find a reason to wake up in the morning sometimes

>>717173626
Antidepressants are literally placebo manifested. There is no evidence that SSRIs or other forms actually alter emotions beyond placebo. The variance is so small it’s clinically worthless. The chemical imbalance theory is pseudoscience

Thats not how adhd works, it feeds on dopamine, its the only thing that makes the brain function, aside from pressure, in which case survival instincts kick in, but video games and porn addiction are very common among people with adhd precisely because its easy instant dopamine, it doesnt make you drop games out of nowhere, most other activities require long term dedication to get satisfaction, like art, or gym, or learning anything, so yeah quit your bullshit and add this to your database /v/tard hivemind

Same.

>>717174042
>doesnt understand anything that doesn't directly affect him
No, I understand it. I also understand that coddling those that are defective instead of allowing them to die off for the greater good of the community is a mistake. Death of human beings shouldn't be something to be mourned or feared, any more than you mourn a cell in your body dying and being replaced.

>>717173985
Sure, whatever. I'm just playing the hand I was dealt and working around it. I was diagnosed at 30, and it's been a life changing experience.

Yea, the meme dude weed lmao, but as someone who regulates by microdosing cannabis has lead to me having a much more fulfilling life. I go to work feeling better, I clean my house more, I play games daily. All the pills the doctors had me pop when I was younger were just frying my brain, fuck that shit, genuinely just smoke weed.

I wanna hug all the anons in this thread. We all suffer so much and we don't deserve it :(

>>717174169
In a just world autistic people like you would be put in asylums where you'd shit in your hand and clap all day instead of shitting up the internet.

>>717174238
>we don't deserve it
perhaps we do

>>717174095
Do you stop and do something productive, or do you quit the game to try another? If the latter its just because the game is not working to keep your mind busy anymore, if you stop and dont try anything else its probably depression

>>717174169
Oh, no, I was wrong. You are full psychopath, my bad. You're beyond help. People like you should've been pruned manually from society.

is it possible to be autistic and have adhd

>>717166661 (OP)
Adderall, caffeine
or get used to dropping things for years at a time for no reason

>>717174232
How do you even microdose? Just put a little crumb in the bowl? Take a tiny nibble from an edible?

>>717174238
Yes i do for being lazy shit, ADHD and autism are not excuses i would kill myself but i love my gf and fuck she love me. When im forcing myself to do anything i just feel like suicide is better option

>>717174403
well yeah I know from experience. I'm asking because I remember that supposedly you couldn't get diagnosed with both until just recently or something

>>717174370
For me, I take 10mg gummies once or twice a day, but casually on weekends Ill smoke a bowl or two, maybe a gram at most, and I coast for hours.
You gotta be careful with it, though, there's a fine line between using medically and getting caught in the chase. It's easy to see when things are far more enjoyable that you end up not doing anything and just zoning out, which isn why I recommend small doses per day, or even every other day. You don't need much if you don't consume consistently.
Gummies also help because they don't stink out loud.

>>717174169
Truth 'humans" like me should not life, im trash

>>717174531
A microdose is a subperceptual dose or close, like taking such a small amount of LSD that you aren't tripping at all.

>>717174026
>it doesnt make you drop games out of nowhere
Yes, it does, you don't know shit. Being obsessed with something and then dropping it the next day out of the blue is common with ADHD. New things you're interested in give more dopamine than when you're dozens of hours into it. You should have been able to piece that together yourself.

>>717174309
No you don't! Nobody deserves it.

No you dont, consoom new product sounds like a you problem, i have adhd, im in a group of people with adhd, none of us drops the game on a whim, not long ago we had mobas and mmos to keep our minds busy and make time slip off our hands everyday, as long as its dropping that sweet dopamine it makes no difference

I got diagnosed with both at the same time a few months ago after finally having the courage to seek help for knowing I had to be retarded for being in the situation I was in at 30.

>>717174892
I like to think of life as a sort of tedious game sometimes. Everything around you is interactable, and you are designed to interact with everything. You don't have to force yourself to interact, but you have every power to do so at your own whim. Give yourself small rewards for doing things you have troubles doing to remind yourself that you, in fact, have the power to create change, even in spite of your brain telling you otherwise.

>>717174238
I dunno, maybe I did something in a previous life to deserve this one. I saw a shadow once while in bed that moved and looked just like two scientists peering at me through a window. Maybe I'm in a matrix and I'm being punished for some terrible crime I committed in the real world. Maybe my brain works just fine but they're drugging me to get the miserable responses they want.

>>717174470
The meaning of life lies in competition, in asserting your superiority, and the perpetuation of your genetic legacy. This is how "meaningful and satisfying human experiences" are created, and this process by its nature necessitates the existence of winners and losers.

By not believing into meth-pusher psyops.

>>717175130
I mean there's an untold amount of flouride and microplastics circulating in your testicles as we speak, it's not hard to see why humans are exhibiting such dimorphic behaviors, neurotypicals and non-neurotypicals.

I generally stay away from any game longer than 20 hours. Always check How Long To Beat before purchasing.

>>717175307
Emotions are illusions created by your brain to promote behaviors that increase your chances of survival and reproduction. They only have as much "meaning" as we choose to assign to them in our attempt to find some greater purpose behind our existence.

I told my doctor that I was dealing with severe depression from childhood trauma and likely some form of ADHD and he sent my ass straight to a psychiatrist who had experience in most of these problems.

>>717175486
Not any less meaningful than anything you do in the real world when you look at it on a larger scale, it will all end up as dust either way, the only part of it that mattered was whether you found something you loved and that felt like it mattered to you.

>>717175302
Like what? I mean, what gives you small bits of happiness? Do you like food? Buy yourself something you normally dont, it doesnt even have to be unhealthy. Do you like the idea of playing games? Get yourself a cheap game you might enjoy. Do you like being lazy? Take a full day off for yourself as a treat.
It's Pavlovian in nature, but like any skill, you have to train yourself before you get good at it. Even geniuses train to maintain their skills, artists, scientists or even sports players, all have to regulate themselves.
Teach yourself control, it's what I used to lack before I started doing more for myself. If you're like me, your brain tells you that you wont enjoy anything, but you know and I know that simply isnt true. It's just easier to see the bad because fear of failure is hard taught in america, that not succeeding the first time means you arent as good as you could be, which is just propaganda.

Weed is a decent supplement, but it's not a solution for everyone. I'm not sure what medication you were prescribed but it sounds like you might have just been given too strong of a dosage. When getting back onto my concerta it took 3 passes to find the level of dosage that best works for me. First we started too low, then we went a bit too high until finding a dosage level in the middle that best worked for me. Too small was not enough to keep my focus while too much lead to a hard crash once the effects started to fade from the dopamine deficiency that happens. Now I have a schedule where I know when the crash starts to happen and I just smoke a bit of weed to tank the dopamine crash and by the time the high fades my brain is back to normal dopamine levels for the rest of the night.

>>717176231
I meant the neetbux part, just going to Britain and staying there long enough would cost more than I have.

>>717170051
Oh its real. I refuse to intentionally let it fuck up my life but I got demoted from middle manager because I cant pay attention in meetings and almost fall asleep, and kind of lost interest as well. I was more interested in the actual work than the leading anyway and still got a pay rise in any case..

For video games I have a habit to play them to completion. If I get disinterested I do something else like go for a walk (while obviously listening to something like podcasts since silence is death). I cant not do something. The greatest danger is boredom and it gives me actual psychic damage that can linger for a long time since the thoughts ads up and gets dark and I cant escape into my imagination like when I was a kid.

Public hospitals are generally required to provide financial assistance if you struggle to afford it. Try checking to see if they have a policy. You can also just talk to them. They'll often be willing to discount shit or outright waive it entirely because the bill is intended for your insurance.

I mean, yeah, you should be able to just call and make an appointment if they have a psychiatrist on staff. For me at least there's mental health clinics around the city that are under the hospital so they just take the policy too and all the billing is the same. You can apply for financial assistance first before you even go in too. I won't advise you to go in and just try calling them after if you can't get the coverage for whatever reason because I don't know for certain how jewish your specific hospital will be but you absolutely should try it regardless if you have bills already.

Also, if you get meds, pharmacies sometimes discount it themselves but you can also look up the meds on goodrx if they don't and get a discount code. You are the product in that case and they're selling your information but you're also at least getting cash back for once when your shit gets sold and sometimes meds are grossly expensive without insurance.

After reading through this entire thread it's pretty apparent no one here has real ADHD and is just making shit up to justify being lazy. You can tell because any advice given is instantly rejected with the same lie of "tried that, did nothing" Sure you did.

Now imagine if you had "family" and "friends" dragging you back down and actively trying to stop you from getting help :)

>>717177909
Could very well be the reason
Nicotine itself is beneficial for those with ADHD, and in general is a cognitive enhancer
Smoking cigarettes is the thing you mainly want to avoid, but vaping and other methods are fair game in terms of relative safety.
All the campaigns against smoking are fake and gay, they demonize nicotine as a big bad addictive drug.
You know why nicotine is addictive? Because it's genuinely GOOD for you. Of course you want to continue doing the thing that wakes your executive function back up from it's slumber

Its not wrong to take more on but you will inevitably fall short of your idealized self and beating yourself up for not being an imaginary person you invented is just stupid.

correct. you've never experienced a truly stress-free life; which is why you endlessly seek fun from videogames to distract yourselves from the stress in your life.
once you remove the stress from your life, there would be no need for dopamine seeking behavior.

is adhd even real

my friend who has it keeps telling me i tick off like 90% of the symptoms for it but i feel like most of that shit is just me and is relatively normal. i dont think it impacts my functioning for the most part. i have 0 desire to get diagnosed or medicated.

This. It's just an excuse for not having any discipline

you will never truly have fun unless you free yourself from worldly concerns.

>>717180197
it is but if you're not finding any trouble with it then who cares

adhd means you can't take a 9 to 5 on a desk and would rather overthrow a government or neet

its real but if it doesnt impact you in a negative way then it doesnt matter

>>717180349
you have a lot more control over your stressors than you realize. you can't stop them from affecting your life entirely, but you can change how you perceive them.
the fact that you randomly brought up politicians and jews means you already let them too far into your life. it's time to let go of some of that fear and hatred.

One of the criteria for diagnosis is that it's severely impacting multiple areas of your life. A lot of mental illnesses are kind of just normal behaviors taken to very unhealthy extremes which is why everybody says everybody has that until you start giving specific examples of the really weird and embarrassing shit.

Okay I wanna try this weed microdose thing. I have a blunt right here. How many puffs for a microdose? Just 1? I don't think that would have any effect on me but maybe that's the intention

got autism, adhd, schizophrenia, bipola and some other shit acoording to this place but i dont know how accurate random people on the internet are.

I'm currently on NEETbux after working for over a decade in a normie wagie job. It's pretty relaxing ngl. Sadly I'm going have to get a job soon cause my savings are running out.

>>717180923
I think a blunt hit is a bit more than a microdose but fuck it it'll do for now, take a hit.
You need a one hitter pipe of some sort so you can sprinkle tiny bits of weed into it

>>717177730
Yeah, it sucks. But it's that or wasting your life away.

Given how long a thread this is op idk if you are still her but whatever You basically have three options:
1) medicate yourself, I did this the first couple years after I was diagnosed there were some meds that worked really well but they also made me lose my appetite and I love food way too much for that so it's not viable for everyone
2) muscle through it until you get the next plot hook that makes you hyper-obsessed again no different than when you have to sit down and do other obligations household chores whatever that you have trouble doing for the same reasons, the problem with this method is it removes the concept of fun from video games and that's allegedly why we play them
3) drop the game Play something else until the feels come back
Sadly I don't think there's many more options than those or if there are, I haven't figured it out after all these years

Piggybacking on this, do nicotine patches work as well?

Playing games has gotten too dull
Now I make the game
Swap between coding/art/writing/music at will, I always have something to do and since I'm learning along the way it's (almost) always novel
Slap on a 6 hour video to the second monitor, and listen to it as I do various game making tasks
Shoutout to caffeine, nicotine and weed.

>never finished The Witcher 3 despite having 5 playthroughs in it, last one was the furthest and dropped it shortly after arriving in Skellige
>never finished Borderlands 2
>never finished The Last of Us
>never finished Death Stranding
>never finished Final Fantasy 7
>never finished Baldurs Gate 3
The list goes on and on
The worst part is that I can't even pick the game back up from where I left because that rubs my autism the wrong way, so whenever I want to give the game another shot I always start from scratch

>>717181128
No you cant.

>>717169929
lol. its not measurable even on brain scans. theres some very minor evidence for some involvement in the prefrontal cortex but its extremely overdiagnosed

theres literally no standard to being diagnosed with it at all. you can do a telehealtrh apt and get on adhd meds. its about as legitimate as a weed card


retarded teenagers ehre think they had "ADHD" after spending 8 hrs a day on the internet for a decade. no you just got burnt out from near constant stimulation and unhealthy habits

they validate this too with going up to a month not indulging in stimulation seeking and think theyre gonna undo all the dmg instnatly. when it doesnt work they give up

>>717181337
It's sort of gay but I've found myself completing a fuck ton more games when I stream them

Okay so how do I fix this

>>717167017
>heroin and fent are great, no wonder humanity learned to love them
Not sure how many anons ITT actually have ADHD or are just mind-poisoned from the digital age but relying on stims to make up for deficits can reinforce poor behavioral patterns (ie "I can solve this with a little help from my friend the pills) instead of developing self-discipline which is critical once you're out of college. Also, stimulants WILL shorten your life. Your cardiovascular system, unsurprisingly, doesn't like being on amphetamines all the time for decades.

if the brain gets burnt out by constant stimulation, then why can't it be considered a disorder?
if somebody whacks somebody in the head with a bat, it's gonna give them brain damage. we just don't pretend that brain damage doesn't exist just because it's inflicted by something.

People always say this like it's some newsflash. I know. I've taken it into consideration and I decided it was a worthwhile tradeoff.

>>717182175
>most people itt arent like that at all and had a very normal childhood
You are genuinely stupid but that shouldn't surprise anyone considering how desperate you are to appear smart

>>717180197
Yes. It's undeniable at this point since there is overwhelming amount of evidence to support how affective both stimulants and CBT is for those diagnosed and how little they benefit people who aren't. Either way, like that other anon said, two important DSM criteria for diagnosing ADHD is that it has to have a severe impact on your daily life and that impact has to go back to early childhood. No one just spontaneously develops ADHD as a teenager or adult.
It used to be very, very easy to get meds a while ago and ADHD has been permanently hampered by that reputation long after those days are over. Nowadays, professionals can get fucked in the ass for it, so they're very careful about it. At least in the US, you aren't even allowed to prescribe stimulants to someone that you haven't had a session with within the last 30 days.
Psychiatrists are especially well aware of drug-seeking behavior these days, and they will usually make people jump through therapy hoops for several months to weed out retards if they feel that they're just reciting a chatgpt script of how to present as having ADHD since most people who are having their life ruined by it tend to be distraught, defeated, friendless, unable to explain what's wrong with them, and have the shittiest resumes known to man if they are employed at all. Primary care physicians became the new unofficial dealer target instead, and now even they are hesitant to prescribe them now. After all, 99% of the moments where someone is coming to a PCP for a mental health issue over a psychiatrist, it's specifically because they wouldn't like what a psychiatrist would say about the matter.

>>717173579
It does give you something in return, that something just isn't fun or excitement. There are other things in life. We are also talking about a situation in which you already chose to do the thing, so just continue doing it. Your mood changing is no reason to stop.

I don't have energy to game on weekends, I'm lying on the bed for 2 days now. I start a game and it is a chore to press W and move. Phone in bed doesn't work either, I started to read this thread and gave up halfway, I can't will myself to understand the text. I don't watch zoomer tiktok slop though.
Watched a movie last night, had no reaction to it at all, can't remember what was going on, I watched it in one sitting though, no phone.

It is getting really bad, I don't know why. I only feel fear now, angry reactions are dulling out, not feeling anything else. I have nothing in life, no possession, no achievements no ins and outs. I'm reaching the heat death of my life.

Don't let it spiral out of control anons, it will and no one can get you out but yourself, and it gets exponentially harder.

Weed, caffeine and nicotine.
unfortunately I've had to stop smoking weed entirely due to my new career so whenever I'm not working I just look rot my brain out with Youtube shorts because that's the only thing that keeps my attention at all anymore.

It's either 4chan or social media that has algorithms designed to manipulate you, not to mention virtual karma systems.

This is depression and easily fixed with a couple of pills you just have to go to a doctor

Because there are too many people claiming to be depressed when they're obviously just unsatisfied with their life.

>>717183464
I think what happened with me was that I enjoyed getting crossfaded so much, so for the past few years I was training my brain to associate getting high with also getting drunk.
Now that I don't get high anymore my brain doesn't have that trigger to start craving alcohol. I didn't even go through withdrawal symptoms outside of effectively having insomnia for a week.

>>717183964
As someone who has that, it's a struggle man. ADHD telling you "oh this is interesting, nah drop this look at that" Autism telling me "yeah they don't like you, did i do or say something wrong? i better check myself five times" It's an uphill struggle

The secret is to weaponize the ADHD into dropping bad habits

>>717183964
It's literal hell. The only reason I'm even remotely good now is because I had people to wrangle and defend me until I found out some workarounds.

weed withdrawals and the fucking hot/cold body temp changes are so annoying

>>717179302
If you suspect yourself to have any degree of addictive behavior at all don't fuck with smoking

I am not someone that gets addicted to anything easily and I only smoke like ~10 cigarettes 3 years ago. I still think about smoking every single week. EVERY SINGLE WEEK

That shit is powerful, but I think the biggest problem is every game/TV show/movie ever features people smoking.

>I literally just left a TF2 match right before making this post because i got bored
To be fair TF2 is currently a shitshow. At least casual mode. You never know if it'll be a quality match or if it'll be unbalanced/bot match until at least 10 minutes into the match, and sometime I don't want to invest the energy into risking playing 5 consecutive low quality matches.

>>717184178
Shit, maybe my teachers were right. Weed is actually a gateway drug...nah, I only ever drank and smoked weed. Idk how people casually do harder shit like coke and crack. I did coke only once in my life and that shit threw me into a panic attack so fierce I almost had a heart attack.

Weed is 100% a gateway drug but that doesn't mean everyone will tap into harder drugs, it just means it's baby's first step for most people.

BAYWATCH

I'd say alcohol is the worse of the two and more of a gateway drug than weed is.
When I get high, I just want to rot on my chair and watch 4+ hour long videos about random shit.
When I get drunk I want to get MORE fucked up.

Yeah I just decided I'll probably not finish most games and that's okay. Sometimes if I'm lucky though I'll come back to after a while and get the motivation to keep playing.

Do something else. Watch a tv show, Read a book, listen to music. Converse with other people. It's not ADHD that you are experiencing right now. What you have is Burnout.

could meditation help with adhd or whatever the fuck this is? has anyone here tried it?

>>717180197
ADHD is real, but it's often misdiagnosed, and can have a million different causes. Most of it is:
>heavy metal toxicity (aluminum, copper, etc...)
>nutritional deficiencies that persisted during childhood/formative years due to faulty transporters, gene mutations, etc...
>dogshit diet full of oxalates seed oils and other crap that irritates intestines

It's all metabolic or nutritional. It's why ADHD spastics are addicted to stress, they are devoid of dopamine due to their fucked up brains for whichever reason and need a constant sink of norephedrine to do anything. Stimulants temporarily fix the problem by releasing dopamine, but it's nothing more than a bandaid. It's why ADHD has a comorbidity for drug abuse. The only way is to figure out what exactly is wrong with you, and then you can mitigate most of it by supplements, lifestyle changes, etc... Your brain will still be wired different, but you will be able to cope with it easier. Sorry for this schizophrenic psychobabble. Stimulants are not bad, it's just self medication for fucked up brains. For obvious reasons, it's untenable for a very long time.

>also, constant blue light exposure literally sissifies you and raies your estrogen levels. im serious, google it lmao

if you drink an energy drink or coffee and feel nothing

congrats you have ADHD

>>717185817
I typed this post like a retard, you can ignore that part. It's not all nutritional and metabolic, but it definitely affects your ADHD/Autism whatever. Autists have higher amounts of oxalates in their brains and blood, they struggle to get rid of heavy metals from their body, et cetera.

Physical vs psychological. The brain's abnormalities are much harder to diagnose.
As an example, it took a good few years for doctors to catch on to the fact that men who've experienced intense shelling and bombardment might develop abnormal mental behaviours.
It takes a while for people to realise that people's brains interpret reality differently and that humanity isn't wholly uniform in terms of consciousness.

NTA but he is right. Metabolism is everything. There is a reason why your stomach is called your "second brain".

Here is an enlightening experiment: scientists had two rats, one bold, brave and willing to explore mazes to get food; the other lazy and a coward who didn't have motivation to go through the mazes. They did a fecal transplant from the bold rat to the lazy one, and the lazy rat immediately started facing the mazes like the first rat.

I can't emphasize enough to anyone reading this that if you have some sort of mental struggle, your #1 priority should be fixing your diet. Drop alcohol, reduce sugar intake, increase fiber intake (fiber is literally the fuel of your gut bacteria, no fiber = no fuel = fucked up gut) and eat or drink probiotics every day like sauerkraut or kefir, make them at home it's dirt cheap.

the only thing i constantly enjoy doing is hopping onto a populated tf2 friendly server and bhopping around the map for an hour.
do i have adhd?

I don't think the people in this website are wise enough to know what a fecal transplant is, so they'll probably think your post is a joke

>>717186051
This is unironically true, oxalate and high gluten diets are usually implicated in various mental issues. Once you start looking into nutrition a lot of it starts making sense with the rising rates of autism. Our nutritional science is hundreds of years behind, since actually solving the problems is not profitable. It's been known for almost a century that hypomagnesia and deficiencies in certain nutrients like thiamine lead to diabetes/alzheimers but nobody gives a fuck. There is no way it's not related to ADHD and autism

>>717170051
As someone with ADHD (from well before it was diagnosed to everyone, took years to get diagnosed) it's actually a super fucked up disorder. WAAAAAAY worse than high functioning autism.
All my friends with High Functioning Autism, way more successful in life, high 5-6 figure jobs, masters, PhDs, very creative and able to complete projects and learn things.
I have ADHD and I'm in my 30s now and my life is mostly a fucking TRAINWRECK, can't hold down jobs for more than a year, i'm just constantly tired and ADHD stims absolutely fuck up your body and health (to the point its common they cause alopecia and heart issues), so it's bad to do them regularly. Even then ADHD drugs fucking SUCK, they work only for about 4-5 hours, and if you didn't eat 250grams of fucking steak (or protien) with it, enjoy the biggest fucking crash and insane tiredness of your life.
Worst part of ADHD is that it gives you the memory of someone with early onset dementia. If someone gives me a task at work there is probably only a 30% chance I will actually remember it after 15 minutes.
Another is the "blindness" that comes with it, you suddenly lose things, that you can't see for whatever reason, even if it's sitting on a fucking table in front of you.
Also there is just constant brain fog and fatigue.
My life is a trainwreck, and everyone else I knew who was diagnosed with ADHD back in my school years (1990s-early 2000s) is also a fucking trainwreck, or dead, today.
Also remember ADHD on average removes about a decade from your life expectancy.
There is a massive push for people with High functioning autism, while shitting on ADHD, but I can tell you from just common sense, that ADHD is far, FAR worse. It's a fucking curse. Autism doesn't fucking KILL YOU like Adhd does.

>>717186714
I am not saying it will disappear if you eat properly, I am saying if you don't eat properly you're setting yourself up for a lot of mental problems because your gut is part of your brain. This is not broscience it's literally science.

Same and I don't have a clue how to fix it. Sometimes I feel SO close to breaking this mental barrier that's keeping me stagnant, "all you have to do is just do the fucking thing.", but here I am.

there's both those types and a lot in the middle yeah
>Also remember ADHD on average removes about a decade from your life expectancy.
i can see why honestly

btw this thread was pretty cool talking about this stuff

>>717186836
so completely unrelated to the topic at hand then

the only way to counter ADHD is to have low functioning autism.

"ADHD" isn't a real thing. Anyone can get "ADHD" if they watch too much tiktok

>>717187026
I expected you to say this and you played right into my hand, because completely eliminating sugar or white bread, oversaturated fats and adding all kinds of nutrients to my diet barely changed anything. And definitely didn't cure me of some random mental illness I apparently had on a pizza diet. Good attempt bro, guess it's time to hit another set in silence.

>>717186825
creatine
high protein diet
fruits and veggies
good carbs
go to the gym
without this i feel like absolute shit mentally

>>717176146
>Mostly because I felt like being as miserable as I was wasn't justified without something downright traumatizing happening to me on a consistent basis
Same desu. I dealt with a lot of social isolation and parental neglect/abuse so whenever I talk about my trauma, I'm not sure how to phrase it because most people think that anything short of being beat to death isn't going to affect you too much.
The truth is that most people don't actually care and just expect you to fix your own shit and that's why I'm still having issues to this day.

>>717187247
Eliminating sugar is not even 10% of the job. You have to add fiber and probiotics. Without that you are wasting your time.

>>717187685
Aaand I did.

>>717175526
As usual you just made excuses for things not working and blamed it on that instead of just dealing with it. You are weak-willed.

>>717187742
What probiotics were you eating, Mr. Larper? You are not fooling anyone by pretending you went from a shitty diet to a good diet + fiber + probiotics and felt no change whatsoever

>>717183964
It's 100x more exhausting if you're high functioning but I can make it work if I know what to avoid.
My brain is constantly trying to rationalize social queues and the environment to the point that going out in public spaces like a festival drains me of all my energy for the week.
Like I can physically feel myself getting ill when I go out to these places with friends and it seriously damages my friendships and dating prospects because it's not that I don't want to hang out with them in public, it's just I'm going to be a complete mess after an hour and start daydreaming and being anywhere else but there.

Literally no one in history had ADHD
It's a made up mental "illness" that's just a shitty personality trait

>>717187685
If you are on the spectrum, you need to:
>avoid polyunsaturated fats
>avoid most of the crappy food additives like red40/yellow5/petrochemical derivatives, etc...
>avoid foods high in oxalates (and potentially casein)
>avoid foods contaminated with heavy metals
>check for MTFHR gene mutations and ensure you have sufficient B vitamins
>make sure your zinc/copper balance isnt outta wack
>make sure you don't have any gut dysbiosis that's causing oxidative stress (which drains all your magnesium and antioxidant nutrients and causes more problems).
It's so easy! You just need to do a million of those things, and some I probably forget. You can see why the average person gives up and listens to Dr. Goldberg. ADHD is real, but it's not impossible to deal with without amphetamines or ritalin. So is autism. I love the analogy these retards use, that amphetamines are akin to glasses to them. No, you are just doped up which temporarily fixes the problem. Stimulants work the same for everyone, except normal people don't need them outside of coffee or nicotine.

Life sucks. I hate my life. What did I do to deserve this? I blame the jews.
