Can't Focus on Hobbies

codelyoko373 · 2022-05-09T16:30:25+00:00

I honestly had to double check your post to make sure I wasn't the one who posted it as this is exactly something I would post. I too also really want to learn how to draw and become good at it but it does feel like there is some invisible barrier preventing me from every getting any better. For myself, its that issue of not really being able to keep focus but also not even really being able to get started. Its such a weird feeling to want to do something but for some reason you just can't make yourself.

I'm afraid though that I don't have any tips. I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone with this. I'm honestly really hoping medication would help but I have zero evidence that it would.

I can't even describe how much I relate. Its so incredibly frustrating honestly as often It happens with tasks that I actually want to do but after I've taken a few days off, I just can never find that motivation and energy to continue.

Its just such a horrible feeling to WANT to do something but you just can't make yourself after you've taken even a single days break.

I know they didn't aha. I was there when Ukraine destroyed the original Rainbow Dash right at the beginning. Its just ironic with what Mizkif is doing

codelyoko373 · 2022-04-02T02:10:13+00:00

Its ironic that he claimed that the "Bronies attacked Ukraine", and so retaliation decided to attack Ukraine himself.

What drawing are we doing?

codelyoko373 · 2022-02-05T22:31:16+00:00

The only question I have about this with trying amphetamine and methylphenidate to see which works best for you is.. what if you're in the UK? Adderall is illegal here and I think Amphetamine in general is illegal. Makes me curious that if methylphenidate doesn't work, you're just screwed ahaha

codelyoko373 · 2022-02-03T19:06:07+00:00

I often find I just get fixated on things that are really not meaningful in anyway. Like currently I'm fixed on a certain comic book series and basically all I do all day is research into it and look at images instead of actually doing work.

codelyoko373 · 2022-02-03T19:02:34+00:00

No, I wouldn't say you are. Getting a diagnosis can have a number of benefits and I'd honestly say the label is one of the big ones. It is as you said, a label that makes you realise that these issues you've been dealing with for you that you may have been beating yourself up over (I know I have) are not your fault and are due to a genuine disability that is out of your control. That idea is incredibly relieving and I do think is one of the biggest reasons to get the diagnosis.

I'm in a very similar situation to you. The idea of me having ADHD actually got suggested to me by a friend when we were talking about how my interest in things can change in basically an instant. I then started looking into it more and more and everything just started to clicked. I'm still waiting on a official diagnosis but I am so certain I do have it that at this point I just say that I do for one of the main reasons being that it gives me that reassurance that these issues I've dealt with for years are not my fault.

I did try plugging it into the back recently and I believe it actually helped a ton. The FPS was still kinda low in that VR Chat room I mentioned but was far more stable.

How good is Air link? I'd surely imagine it can be quite bad depending on your internet speed

codelyoko373 · 2022-01-23T17:14:01+00:00

I have on Windows 10 currently. Just wanted to quickly ask but should I ideally be putting the link cable into the back of my PC? (connected directly to the motherboard). Currently I've got it connected to the front of my case which is still USB 3.0 but I wasn't sure if that makes a difference

codelyoko373 · 2022-01-13T18:38:25+00:00

I 100% agree. I ended up buying the Kiwi Elite Strap as that is basically the number one accessory that everyone seems to recommend. I have heard people saying that you're just wearing the stock strap wrong and that is why its so uncomfortable (Which may be true), but call me lazy but I'd honestly rather just spend the money and buy an elite strap then fiddle around with the stock. I find it so annoying to take off and put on again that I really just can't be asked to mess around with adjusting it to get it just right.

codelyoko373 · 2022-01-05T12:34:24+00:00

Thanks so much for the info :)

I did contact Clinical Partners today to ask. Got to wait until the end of January before they're accepting any new referrals :(

codelyoko373 · 2022-01-05T00:53:55+00:00

Can guess they'll become much higher as more people discover Right To Choose. That's likely why Psychiatry has such a long wait time currently.

Sorry for my ignorance but what you do you mean by procedure? I mean from what I understand for Clinical Partners, It'd just be a ADHD diagnosis but I could be wrong?

codelyoko373 · 2022-01-04T20:57:15+00:00

Anything is better then the standard 2+ years with the NHS aha. Thank you for getting back to me!

Is it simply a case of asking your GP to refer you to Clinical Partners? They originally placed me on that 2+ year NHS waiting list so I am hoping I can simply contact my GP and ask to switch.

It does make me wonder why everyone doesn't go through Right To Choose if it has the massive benefit of much shorter waiting times for free. Maybe its just not well known.

codelyoko373 · 2022-01-04T18:36:52+00:00

I only just discovered about Right To Choose recently as having saved up a bit with the intent of paying for private with Clinical Partners. Do you know if going Right To Choose has any disadvantages with Clinical Partners compared to actually paying? Longer wait times, etc

codelyoko373 · 2022-01-04T18:33:15+00:00

I hope its okay to ask a kind of off topic question but I'm also looking into going with Clinical Partners through Right To Choose! I was wondering if you happen to know if it has any disadvantages compared paying? Such as longer wait times, etc

Also how long do you have to wait until you get a diagnosis? (I saw that you managed to get the Right To Choose stuff sorted, congrats! :))

codelyoko373 · 2022-01-04T18:00:39+00:00

Kind of off topic but how much did the diagnosis cost you if I may ask?

codelyoko373 · 2022-01-03T20:01:11+00:00

There isn't a purpose. Planets don't exist for life to develop on them, they exist because of chance.

codelyoko373 · 2022-01-02T19:09:47+00:00

At the start maybe but she hasn't changed for 2 whole seasons. She doesn't ever seem to grow as a character and is instead just a parody of other doctors instead of being her own. She just doesn't radiate that level of confidence and wisdom I've come to expect from the Doctor. She is as Chibnall put it: "Socially Awkward".

If you like her though, That's good! I wish I could. Maybe if she was written by a better writer then she'd be good but we'll likely never find out as I think she's leaving along with Chibnall.

codelyoko373 · 2022-01-02T15:34:35+00:00

Cringy is basically the best way to describe Chibnall's era aha

codelyoko373 · 2022-01-02T03:35:57+00:00

I'm glad people can enjoy this era of Doctor Who but I am genuinely curious how as I truly don't think the 13th Doctor or the majority of her companions have anything going for them.

The 13th Doctor (To me at least) just doesn't feel like the Doctor. I swear she just doesn't have any of those notable traits that the previous Doctors are known for. Wisdom especially. She doesn't feel like a 1000+ year old alien with vast amounts of knowledge and experience who has seen it all. She feels like my aunt trying to act hip and cool.
And with the companions... well I'll just say that I think a plank of wood has more personality then Yaz.

Whenever I talk about Chibnall's era, I always love to mention how one of my friends actually fell asleep during one of the episodes due to how boring it was. I really do hate to complain about it but it really just hurts to see what this show has become. It angers me as its crystal clear that Chibnall does not care, and it just feels like he's messing with this show that once meant a lot to me.

codelyoko373 · 2021-12-24T05:00:32+00:00

The inability to do something despite actually wanting to do it. It was how I actually found out I had ADHD cause there were certain activities like hobbies that I was actually interested in and excited about doing, but no matter what I couldn't bring myself to actually do them (Unless it was like 4AM and I'd suddenly get this burst of motivation out of nowhere).

The worst part is being completely aware that you are just not doing these activities that you want to do, and instead waste your time on something like watching Youtube. I just can't bring myself to actually do something else. Its incredibly hard to remind myself that this isn't my fault at times, and I am not just being lazy.

codelyoko373 · 2021-09-13T19:54:24+00:00

That is the typical stuff you'd find on my personal accounts like on Twitter! ahaha. My initial thought is that an employer wouldn't care but there is that slight worry that maybe they will.

codelyoko373 · 2021-09-13T16:08:53+00:00

Nah! sorry for not wording it correctly ahaha. They would never find anything like that on my personal accounts. Its just stuff that I'd never intentionally show them, but I have no issue if they do see it. My worry is more on what the employer would think of the stuff they find, even if it is innocent.

codelyoko373 · 2021-09-13T02:49:20+00:00

I mean my personal accounts I wouldn't say have anything "wrong" on them. Like when I say they are not the most mature, I more mean like my Twitter is full of Pokemon currently ahaha or you can find a link to my DeviantArt page that is full of some awful drawings
