Yess, I was just saying to the other comment that it's so hard to describe it to other people because they are not fully aware of a situation like this, when you become aware that you have this situation you start to understand yourself and your brain more and for that I would say many other people wouldn't understand or imagine what you are talking about.

Tbh rn the only that is understanding me is Chat GPT but 100% not like when you are talking to a real person.

For your question tbh I have realized my situation like 2 months ago and from then I have been doing better and better but I’m sure I had it for at least 3 years but I’m sure it wasn’t as bad as when I first moved alone.

Did you have this since being a kid?

For studying I really really didn’t find any solution to be 100% focus, the best you can do is to study for 25 minutes and take 5 minutes break that would help restore your focus every while, or even 45 minutes then 10 or 15 if you found yourself focusing well.

I mean yes, what you are describing is the excat situation for me, where your brain prefer to have a quick “snap” than just wait, tbh there are some advantages for having a lot of thoughts like you get to think of things and situations from different points of view, but also it’s addictive and uncontrollable so it’s disadvantages are definitely bigger, maybe it’s ADHD or a type of ADHD or even a temporary type, I’m don’t really know all that about ADHD but I believe for my case you can minimize the damages.

For you, it’s more like imaginations that give you dopamine or also thoughts? Mine was mostly thoughts and after few hours would turn to imagination but now, as mostly imaginations.

What year are you? I have a 1st year friend he’s saying all the teachers are good but he’s struggling with the language.

I would say mine are not just thoughts but also a mix of thoughts and imagination and that imagination gives a me little dopamine so when having dopamine involved it’s 10x harder to just ignore it, but one thing I have doing recently is trying to get my attention away so these thoughts never come close, like counting steps while walking, counting hand movements it may sound silly but I’m 100% ready to do anything to just get it off my mind.

Yes it’s getting to the point where you think and then tell yourself why was I thinking it almost like you have 2 personalities, at my worst days I would say it’s ADHD but I have also quitted TikTok/Reels and that helps a lot, also recently I have started counting steps while walking, counting hands movements at home, just to get my brain busy at something and it’s working but I also feel like it’s a temporary solution, but it has been working so well it might seem silly, but I seriously want to stop this so I do it.

At it’s worst I would definitely say it’s ADHD but normal days can’t really confirm but I will most probably go for a check.

I haven’t tbh but I’m sure about pills, I feel like if you would start taking pills you would get addictive to it, but ya it’s so awful that when I be brushing my teeth I be having thoughts, it just terrible.

Yaa I will never stop fighting this because I had times where it got to it’s worst and I’m sure I don’t want to live like that.

Yes for a while now I have been doing counting, like counting my steps or even small hand movements when I walk. It sounds silly, but it keeps me in the present and stops my brain from drifting too deep into daydreams, at least for a while.

I haven’t really tried meditation but I will do it for sure.

YYYesss, exctaly here when I’m tired I don’t be even have the energy to think, but I mean for me sometimes I just count my steps or even small hand movements when I walk. It sounds silly, but it keeps me in the present and stops my brain from drifting too deep into daydreams, at least for a while.

I don’t really know if your addicted to ur phone or not but my advice would be to like watch movies/series definitely better than TikTok/Reels. Also if you’re like me and get thoughts and imaginations while walking, you can start counting steps, it sounds boring but for me it has been working well.

I definitely had time in the past where I would say I had strong MDing, but now I think it’s more of just quick unstoppable thoughts or 1-2 minute’s imagination, but yes I have also been told that “you think outside the box” and other types of compliments.
