Yeah, “blasted.” It couldn’t have been a shorter, weaker, speach. Pathetic.

Try not to start another task during the waiting time has worked for me. If you are able to listen to music, try an audio visualizer or something like that. That will give you something to look at while you wait. Or find some kind of fidget. I hope that helps, it has helped me some but certainly isn’t for everyone.

Oh, don’t forget to take small breaks if that helps as well.

I generally agree with you but I don’t think you are taking into account individual nutrition. For a fat person to lose weight they need to eat less. When this happens your body literally screams at you not to. This doesn’t end when you are no longer fat. It is a constant battle and your body is constantly trying to reach the fat state again. Unfortunately when you restrict your diet to lose weight, or keep it off, this itself can cause deficiencies and malnourishment.

This is very much a systemic issue but it is also tied into culture and personal responsibility. Unfortunately it is very complicated and not the same for everyone.

To be fair my eye and thumb muscles are jacked.

Unfortunately in most states in the US they can fire you without giving a cause.

This is to be expected. The past ~20 years has been very bad for diplomacy with Israel. When it Israel actually engages in diplomacy with it’s Palestinian population the population Hamas plummets.

Most people with ADHD have brains that are diametrically opposed to habit forming. Every single task that I do every day is performed deliberately.

Oh man, I did the same thing with DDR in the early 00s.

If you do it enough, yes.

You may already know this but it isn’t clear from your post. Depression doesn’t come with ADHD, it is caused the effects of ADHD. Like, you get depressed because ADHD makes life harder. I would recommend trying to treat your ADHD first and see if that helps. This can help improve self esteem. If that does help your depression you may need a separate treatment.

You definitely need to speak with a psychiatrist though. Some cases require immediate treatment of depression, which is really how I’ve seen ketamine being used.

There’s a paywall and the article is straight up propaganda. There is no blockade. They don’t even have the ability to create a blockade. This is stupid bullshit.

Having everything within reach for a task is a good point. I would also recommend assigning places for everything. If you are using something, it only goes in its place when done, immediately.

I would recommend setting alarms for specific things. I’ve heard good things about The Heroe’s Journal for habit forming and getting things done. It can help you gamify things. I believe there are some free apps that help you gamify these things as well.

I’m constantly apologizing at work because I cannot write and speak at the same time.

I do feel a bit like a moth to the flame since learning about Lemmy. Definitely feel more attracted to alternatives to mainstream solutions and products. I don’t know if that’s a strictly neurodivergent behavior or not though.

Thanks for the responses and being here everyone. It really means a lot.

That is good advice, but definitely out of reach for a lot of people.

That’s true, thank you. My wife said as much as well but I always pressure myself into things because I feel like they are important. I need to remember to take care of myself as well. Not easy.

Thank you. I’m not the best at communicating my needs, especially mental needs, this is very helpful.

Sorry for your loss. That sounds like great advise. Challenges always occurs and I’m glad you found a way to make it work.
