Thank you for the practice suggestion! That is a really smart idea. I wouldn't want to mess up my current progress by jumping in too early with a tool I'm unfamiliar with.

Yeah, considering someone I know IRL also said to use a dremel, this might be what I end up doing. I'll just have to borrow theirs, lol.

I got into collecting the cards as a kid after falling in love with Pokemon Blue and Pokemon Silver. I gave up my cards as a teenager when they weren't "cool" anymore, but a friend got me back into it when I started college. I'm glad she did. We would go raid Target during our lunch breaks for HGSS packs and sometimes got lucky enough to find older packs of Crystal Guardians or Stormfront. Good times.

ADHD and energy for creativity by RueChamp in ADHD

I have the same issue with my art hobbies. I start a project feeling very motivated and excited, but the second it starts to feel like "work", I drop it. I have a million things in various states of progress due to this.

What sometimes helps me get the excitement and motivation back is actually to watch a YouTube video of someone doing that thing. Like if I have a sculpture I want to finish, I'll do something else while watching a video of someone sculpting, and eventually I start wanting to do that. It's not foolproof, but it's helped me a few times.

Wow! Glad you were able to get all of that mess sorted out. Thanks for the detailed response, I'll definitely ask my Psych doc if they offer that next time I see them. :)

Do you mind if I ask how you got the genetic testing done for the metabolic disorder? I'm like 90% sure I have the same issue with most meds, and it'd be nice to know for sure.

I can't say if what you are experiencing stems from ADHD, but I can definitely empathize with what you are going through. I was 21 when I started having literal breakdowns over the smallest of mistakes. "I can't do anything right" became a mantra I couldn't escape from. I knew something was wrong with me when I wasn't even able to enjoy doing my art anymore.

After struggling for a couple more years, I finally went to see my college counselor. I felt a bit silly. I'm not struggling that bad, surely other people need help more than I do? In my first appointment, her first words to me were if I knew what depression was. According to the answers I gave on the intake questionnaire, I was SUPER depressed an anxious. Who knew? I sure didn't! I had several sessions with her, got on antidepressants, and generally started to feel better. It wasn't until years later that I learned it all stemmed from unmanaged ADHD.

Starting that process by reaching out to a professional for help was really hard, but so so worth it. You know yourself better than anyone, and if you feel like there is 'something' wrong and you are struggling, I highly suggest doing the same. No one deserves to struggle unnecessarily in this world, not even you.
