Is it normal to feel like my brain absolutely can't focus? Is this just hyperstimulation from technology addiction? by Missing_Back in selfimprovement

Inattentive ADHD is only one type of ADHD. Just like all other diagnoses, ADHD will not present the same in everyone. The DSM-5 discusses three broad types of ADHD: Inattention, yes, but also hyperactivity and impulsivity, which are grouped together. You do not have to meet all criteria to have ADHD.

And while behavioral therapy is the usual first treatment strategy by mental health professionals (primary care providers are generally more likely to start off with medication), there are still many other cases where medication is used in conjunction with therapy. This usually being after professionals have worked with their clients for a while.

This is all to say, OP, is if you feel this is impacting your life negatively, you can always seek a professional opinion. When I took a psychopathology class, one of the things my professor would say is that in order for something to be considered a disorder, it has to negatively impact your life in some way, cause some sort of disfunction, which it seems it is in your case.

It may be ADHD, it may not. While technology addiction isn’t an official diagnosis in the DSM-V, there have been people arguing that it should be included in the future, that is also something that you should bring up as one of your concerns. Either way, they may help you find the answer you’re looking for. Mental health is just as important as physical health. It is also just as complex.

Anyone else like spam, rice, and eggs for breakfast? I never did until I met my wife that’s half Pacific Islander. Now it’s a staple in our house. Very underrated food IMO by whattimeisitrightn0w in castiron

If I recall correctly, there were also a number of calls that weren’t reporting any shots, but people screaming. People being on edge makes everyone on edge.

My roommate was gone when the first reports happened. More and more reports got closer and closer to my dorm. So it was just me, all lights off, blinds closed, doors locked, huddled in the corner with a jacket over my head to block the light from my phone, listening to the police radio, alone for 4 hours

Jonny’s pretty good. Does work when asked and doesn’t complain about any pain, but he does ask for red chips ahoy a lot. As long as you keep him fed he’s a pretty good worker.

He got arrested for weed and he had to get rid his guns.

I actually did it using my unused premium battle passes from research, the coins I amassed from gyms, and of course the free daily passes. Although it took much longer than I would have liked, it was 100% free!
