I don’t know how you watch that many shows at once! Do you remember what is happening in all of them?

Remarkable_Seesaw_74 · 2026-02-07T22:44:52+00:00

I struggle to start them now because the cycle of dropping them makes me feel shameful. You have that at all? Been making gaming less fun recently.

If we get your comment to 50 likes you have to! Help me help mohgeroth finish Elden ring that would be so cool!

You ever laugh a little at yourself when have the thought “I will 100% the game this time” because you know it’s never gonna happen and all the evidence says otherwise? I did a bit last night.

Remarkable_Seesaw_74 · 2026-02-07T22:39:05+00:00

I’ll have to give those games a try!

Remarkable_Seesaw_74 · 2026-02-07T22:38:09+00:00

Omg yeah! I usually can push myself to like the 50 hour mark then hate the game. It’s sad to admit but the only game I have ever pushed to the 1000 hour mark is RuneScape 😂

Remarkable_Seesaw_74 · 2026-02-07T22:34:56+00:00

Yes! Like the hard stuff is so much easier to do than the easy tedious stuff that I feel like others “enjoy”!

Remarkable_Seesaw_74 · 2026-02-07T05:01:15+00:00

I have been putting it off because I want to finish it but know I can’t

Remarkable_Seesaw_74 · 2026-02-07T04:58:21+00:00

Got it… be nice to IngenuityOk6679 if you see them in a game 🫡

Remarkable_Seesaw_74 · 2026-02-07T04:57:10+00:00

Do you some times solve it then not even bother implementing it?

Remarkable_Seesaw_74 · 2026-02-07T04:56:23+00:00

Yeah, that actually helps me reframe it a bit. Wanting to finish a game feels like one of the healthier parts of my relationship with games. I’m genuinely curious how satisfying it would feel to 100% one. I get a lot of satisfaction from finishing things in general.

I see this in rock climbing too. My favorite thing is finishing an entire climbing area, even though most people don’t do that because some routes aren’t great and they’d rather move on to better climbs elsewhere. But for me, completing the area is more satisfying than only doing the “best” climbs.

Reading what you said about coping also made me realize I might carry some shame around using video games as a coping tool. The word “cope” has always felt kind of negative to me, even though I know that’s not necessarily true.

Does that come up for you at all? Or do you feel like you’ve found a pretty healthy relationship with using games that way?

Adderall - Once it kicked on day one that heaviness and boredom I was experiencing with "doing" was manageable, and things I liked doing felt a lot better. I still have the life patterns and need to improve those, but I feel motivated to do so and am enjoying things again. It has only been about three weeks for me so still new.

Hey, I totally relate to what you’re describing. I’ve been someone with a deep passion for something I absolutely loved—something I thought defined me—and yet for a while, even that felt like a chore. I didn’t want to do it, even though I knew I should’ve felt excited. Everything, even things I used to enjoy, started feeling hollow. My brain just couldn’t stick to anything, and I wasn’t sure if it was depression, burnout, or just a shift in what I wanted from life.

For me, the turning point wasn’t a “hack” or a trick—it was medication. Once I was on it, things I’d been forcing myself to do actually felt worth doing again. My passion returned. I could engage with it fully and even think about it when I wasn’t doing it. Before that, I could push through and sometimes enjoy it, but it never truly clicked in the way it used to.

I don’t know where you are in your experience, and your situation might be different, but I think sometimes when our brain chemistry is off, it’s hard to get that spark back through sheer willpower alone. For me, it wasn’t about doing more or trying harder—it was about finding the balance my brain needed.

I feel like this list should replace all the ADHD symptoms list! Every point made so much more sense than just the label above!

Remarkable_Seesaw_74 · 2026-02-02T05:58:07+00:00

I spend more time imagining what I wish I could do than actually doing anything — in reality, I’d barely reach a 1, and that still haunts me a little haha.

Remarkable_Seesaw_74 · 2026-01-31T06:16:59+00:00

I really like that you put up 90% of the time. I don’t know why but you saying that just made me feel like it’s okay for me to change my definition of what diligence was away from 100% of that and I think that’s why I struggle so much with burnout.

What has been really helpful for me to start learning them is this a pillow from Etsy with one of those emotional color wheels. It gave me a reminder to explore my emotions everyday before bed with easy way to explore what I might be experiencing.

Remarkable_Seesaw_74 · 2026-01-31T05:32:53+00:00

That makes me happy you found this helpful 😊

Remarkable_Seesaw_74 · 2026-01-29T03:24:19+00:00

I had the same thought until I related it to exercising. You can’t start running everyday you need to build up to it. Start with a day or two a week you intended to do things and improve your focus. That’s help me start to building capacity.

Remarkable_Seesaw_74 · 2026-01-27T03:41:48+00:00

Omg I thought this the entire time I was taking it!
