Nonsense. I’ve had myself certified to be riddled with ADHD by 5 separate psychiatrists, and I’ve lost count of my hobbies/interests. And I have every intention of returning to leathercraft one day… just as soon as I dig my bed back out and get a good nights sleep.
Part of me really misses the certainty of the old school psychiatry. It seemed to hold the promise of answers and ultimately solutions. For if conclusions cold be reached problems could be identified and solved or otherwise compensated for.
Unfortunately this was never the case. It was just well meaning folks making it up as they went along. If they could convince their colleagues to buy in and do a bit of limited research… bingo, accepted theory.
Now we just get an endless wash of statistics and papers loaded with so much domain specific language they are practically indecipherable.
My accountant had a deadline for submitting things and I was stressing as the day got near. I double checked and I remembered the day wrong and it was a little later.
Reading the comments here makes me overly conscious about choosing my word carefully. Say “cure” instead of “medication” and there goes the point you wanted to make!
He explains why it’s unlisted in the first few minutes. Basically, he knows it’s too long for the regular viewer, and plans to release a condensed version later. But for the people who may be interested in a deep dive, he made the much longer unlisted version where he has the freedom to ramble and fully explain things.
As for why it’s unlisted, it’s probably so he doesn’t get dinged by the YouTube algorithm for incomplete views. If the algorithm sees that his regular viewers are only watching the first 5 minutes of his hour long video, it’ll stop recommending his videos to them. Unlisting the video is an easy way to get around that, because only the people who are interested in it will seek it out.
I forgot to eat lunch. It’s now too early for dinner but too late for lunch. Also I’m too hungry to think about what to eat let alone cook. I need to eat to figure out what I can eat but I don’t know what to eat so I just grab a slice of bread and shove it in my mouth and almost choke but it’s food and now I can think again! Or I just thought of something I need to do on the computer…
So many were back then. Swaths of them also were informed that there's a good chance we had these conditions, but then handwaved them away because they got by just fine. Plus those damn doctors are over medicating everyone just trying to make a quick buck!
Don't forget all the friends of friends saying their once boisterous and weird brother suddenly turned into a zombie... By not being constantly disruptive, able to focus, and were quiet for a bit lmfao.
Cons: Severe addiction, heart issues, neglecting all meals in favor to consuming loads of junk food on the evening. You burn out our body even more over time.
Going to throw in my edible suggestion because it is the only thing that's ever worked for me personally: Mr. Moxey's mints. They make a high CBD one with valerian root. I try to take them an hour or so before bed. Just CBD or just sleepy tea has never worked for me but the combo seems to do the trick.
Edibles are overpriced and underdosed; instead you should buy pure hash oil from an indica strain (or RSO, or distillate, or whatever concentrate is available in your area) and make your own edibles. It's way cheaper and you get a much stronger and more effective product.
Where I live, the average edible product is $15-20 and contains 100mg total of active THC (I looked up those mints and they also contain 100mg total in the entire package). Or could just buy a hash oil syringe for the same price and get 1000mg. Literally 10x the amount for the same price. So if a pack of mints lasts you a week, imagine having a 2½ month's supply without spending 10x as much. Eventually you'll get used to just directly consuming the oil, saving you even more time and money since you don't actually have to make it into an edible to achieve the desired effects.
What I should do is what works well for me. I know about and have used oil but I prefer the mints for various reasons. I'm glad you have something that works well for you
I feel like this in everything I do. I'm trying the trick of "force yourself to cheer when you do something, when if small", but it just feels like I'm lying to myself.
How do you get out of this hole?
In my personal experience I've found that drugs and alcohol work best. You can't make the negative thoughts go away, so numbing them instead is the next best thing.
Man, I get no good feelings even if I did great. Productivity and achieving goes gives me zero positive reinforcement and it absolutely sucks. Even graduating college, I was just glad that I didn't have to go back. No sense of accomplishment whatsoever.
That's because you're not doing it for yourself, you're doing it for others.
Do things for yourself, with no expectations from anyone else, and then compare the feelings.
So you get no enjoyment from anything?
Never made and ate a good meal that had you feel "I needed that"?
Never bought a random toy or played a game and felt "that was fun"?
Is receiving sexual pleasure just a meaningless chore?
Maybe the issue isn't not feeling it, maybe you're looking for some great high that makes trivial things worthless by comparison.
Were you perhaps spoilered by other people telling you what to expect and those expectations never came to pass?
Or are the bad experiences so ingrained that the good ones simply can't compete?
Regardless, active exploration is the way to change a state of mind. Passivity leads to numbness. Or so I've been told.
I did it for myself and felt the same way, just relieved. I'd even like to go back for myself but that's not enough motivation to produce the energy with which to start, let alone have a prayer of finishing.
