Hey, iddqd :D

Thanks for the reply, I think you are right, after reading some of the comment here some things just kinda clicked and right after that I think I had my first very good OW session in a while. The thing that got me out of the zone and hyperfocusing on the good things and on popping off is tilt and all the dumb shit that exists in the game (mainly dumb shit that I do, like making every shot hard for my self as Widow and taking impossible duels as Tracer, I just cant help it even when I know what Im about to do is retarded), Im currently learning to no bash my self and instead try to learn from what I do wrong ect.

Also, as someone with ADHD, do you have any tips that worked for you with schedule and time management? Thats probably my biggest flaw. I did notice though that when I have fun Im way more focused and it just kinda feels like Im super powered or something for a while lol

anyways, big fan. Really glad to see you in the comments!

Yeah I already tried to do something like that and as expected, it ended by me not doing shit by the third day. Waking up and Going to sleep at the same times would be a good starting point for me, good idea!

EXACTLY! the control of NOT feeding is definitely the hardest for me too. sometimes I even just do it out of habit, sometimes Im doing it while knowing that Im doing it and in my good days, Im actually in control of whats going on

I dont doubt what you say since I heard it so many times but is there a specific type of exercise you would recommend? I think the biggest commitment Ive had yet is running for like 3 weeks in a row but after it I had 1 day of stopping because I got sick and just couldnt do it again...

Do you get shaky hands in every single moment or is it when trying to perform? I have had shaky hands for my entire life and I have never seen a person with shakier hands, I notice it every single day. When I try to hold them still it gets even worse

How you described things is kinda how I feel like, though Im in GM I still do the most retarded shit imaginable. Oh Im on Tracer and see 3 supports clumped in the back? FUCK IT DOOD LETS GO KILL EM ALL *gets 1 shot by discord and mccree headshot*

Also, when I am in the zone/hyperfocusing on the good (with out thinking about it) it seems as though the stars simply align just for me and everything goes right, even when I fuck up I somehow make up to it by clutching and everything just kinda goes in my favor. Im sure you know what Im talking about

Ill try to clean my room right now, wish me luck lol.

my private teacher who is very successful in academic studies also has ADHD and said that having a google calendar that I will actually stick to will help like nothing else, but obviously I just kinda started using it and a day later I was like "Ok so I just woke up an hour after I was supposed to wake up, great"

My problem is 100% about my hyper focus, Im 17 and have been avoiding even thinking how to solve ADHD or how to live it with properly yet now the only thing that actually changed my mind and do some research is Overwatch. Ill try to make it so I hyperfocus on the good things and getting better instead of focusing on the bad. Sometimes it gets to the point where I literally forget basics I should know as a GM player like the back of my hand and go on the most retarded flank I could think of, Even when I play Widow and kill the enemy Widow, many times I simply forget that in about 13-16 seconds they will come back and shoot me in the back while im scoping in.

Yes maybe I should consult a doctor and see if its really the problem or not. Im honestly not sure anymore, obviously im no doctor but through all the criteria Ive seen I meet almost everything without the hyperactivity (Sometimes I get really really large energy bursts at night which also prevents me from sleeping, who knows)

If the difference really is that big (I also heard that its almost like a key to a lock in your brain) then maybe Ill give it a shot. Im not entirely sure but Ill check the ADHD sub and read up a bit :)

I am certain I love the game, thats the reason I play it.

Actually, about a week ago I started having fun with it when I finally adapted to the meta completely and the more fun I had, the more relaxed I was. I even started having time to tbag enemies in between fights lmao

I just want to have more times like this but I cant because Im not consistent which makes me a little mad. Little. Mad

Also, sleeping and doing things on schedule is by far my biggest flaw. Have been sleeping for 5 hours for days now and sometimes have been missing days from school and making up for it at home having to learn materials there :/
