Getting older and more mature has definitely helped with this. For example, I completely cut out the part where I promise myself I’m going to change the pattern.
fuck
This is funny but also like really really deeply sad
Name of your sex tape
BINGPOT!
I feel seen, also how do you actually break out of this cycle, it’s been decades. 💀
Some people find it to be a huge help to start their day immediately with a scheduled activity like a class at a gym. 6am spin class or crossfit or some shit.
Forces you to get up and get your ass moving first thing and if you can ride the endorphins out of the gym and into a bunch of other productive activities you will probably get more done by lunch than any other whole day.
That seems like it makes sense. Which probably stems from me not having a regular sleep cycle with some of the Twitch streaming I do at night. Trying to balance work/family/life along with that is pretty difficult to get a good sleep schedule. Maybe I’ll try to do some workouts or exercises before work if I don’t feel dead in the morning.
I broke out by getting diagnosed and getting put on medication.
Medication lol.
While I think medication is a valid option, Im not sure I would use it as the first option, unless I had a licensed therapist/psychiatrist give a diagnosis and medication recommendation. It’s entirely possible I just need a change of routine or environment, but everyone does has varying situations and medications is one option that I think (I don’t have any sources haha) proves effective!
We break out of the cycle by getting to the point where shelter and food are at stake, hanging by a thread, almost homeless, so somehow start earning money to take care of that shit and procure shelter, procure food, and stuff just kinda eventually gets done.
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.
Me before Adderall
This is some people after Adderall
But actually most people before Adderall.
It's so real it hurts, weekends just hop out the window
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.
relatable. Good morning. I'm doing the first 5 hours part of my day right now. catchya later.
update 7 hours later: I just did a productive thing!
Now back to some well-earned Lemmy time.
How do you get out of this loop?
- Hyperfixate on getting out the the loop
- Get stuck in new loop
You don't, you just learn to operate within it.
Every fucking day
My trick is to do as much as possible during the first hours of the day, and THEN get anxious.
Wait a secondo, is that my routine?
Nah that's my routine.
Y'all owe me SO much in royalties, but I keep forgetting to bring it up.
It's past midnight and I have an assignment I need to finish today... but I really need to research the latest real-time physics engines.
How do people with adhd pay their rent ?
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.
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.

Why are you getting downvoted?
This post describes how I feel on the weekends and I know I don't have ADHD, I'm just lazy and have weak drive
I think these are normal steps for a variety of people. I'm pretty sure I'm not ADHD but every time one of these style posts pops up listing traits or supposed ADHD defining behaviour they are always relatable. Most likely explanation is these posts are nothing to do with ADHD and are actually designed to just make you feel special when you see that these apply to you so you interact with them, share them, and they spread to others and it repeats and repeats and repeats...
I think you might be lost. And, just for clarity we all have moments but ADHD is about this happening constantly.
Why am I lost? And yes the particular scenario in this post is a regular occurrence. No matter how much time I have I will always put things off until the point where if I don't do it now I won't have time. Then I'll try and start it but the up doing something more interesting and thinking of excuses to get away with not finishing what I was supposed to. It's always something easy too and when I finally do it I tell myself that's next time I'll keep on top of it but never do.
Because that is only one symptom. And there are many different reasons why people could behave that way (even on a regular basis). It neither has to be ADHD nor any other mental health problem at all.
I wish more people would see that society holds us up to an in-humane standard and many people "fail" when compared to that standard.
When more than half of all people suffer from some type of mental health issue it's quite obvious something with the system is wrong and not with us.
ADHD encompasses a variety of debilitating symtopms that are consistently present from the beginning of someone's lives. Otherwise it can't be ADHD.
It's a cheap way to deal with our system-issues to brainwash people into believing somehow their brains are wrong.
You have undiagnosed ADHD.
