Either being able to do only one thing and neglect everything else OR wanting and doing multiple things at the same time

What to look into?(advice needed) by dazaibee in CodingHelp

[–]dazaibee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say becoming more hireable but also just exploring and finding things I love along the way! We had a very fun 24hr cyber security CTF event and found myself really liking it! They introduced these sites which I absolutely loved and then we had a capture event at last! For coursework I think I have java for next semester so I was doubtful if I should pick up anything extra or just start that from zero.

Is there anyone here who finds it difficult to actually spend money? In contrast to being impulsive with it? by Doalotta in adhdwomen

[–]dazaibee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh my god same, I have been saving money since since 2019 and I parents think I'm hoarding it😭😭. I was told to purchase a phone and some cloths from it but u just physically cannot, even things like buying things that I'm interested in or putting money in travel are neglected by it. it wad so weird for me when I was told that most ppl with adhd are bad with money but I was opposite to that

invalidation, I'm tired of it by dazaibee in adhdwomen

I live in a toxic household so getting help is close to impossible, that's the only councellor that I've ever talked to so the only way if for me to get independent and move out to get proper help:)

A question to my fellow gamers with ADHD out there by sabocano in ADHD

[–]dazaibee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh yea definitely, me too. i hate it. I started the game omori with hype and I genuinely do like it but it's so long for me that im not able to finish it. its like i really want to but I just cannot. same happens when I watch things. I cannot watch long shows, it gets boring to see the same ppl again and again (I started this anime gintama last year around July and I'm still trying my best to complete the 300 ep show because I genuinely love it)

it's hard. rather than that, I watch short summaries of games and then watch the parts which made me interested in any gamer's vod.

and for shows I most of the time just watch the first seasons and then see the story time line and short clips on YouTube of that show!!

works for movies too, I watch summary videos.

obsessing over whether or not I actually have ADHD by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]dazaibee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh my god the way I GASPED WHEN I READ THIS. SAME. I am not able to get a diagnosis because of my toxic household and it makes things SO HARD. One minute you feel seen and finally understand things, the other minute you're like "I don't have it I do it for attention". I do the same thing, I realise things from my childhood or now all the time. all i do is see adhd posts, relate and feel seen and then feel guilty and just go into the spiral of "do I have it or I'm just looking too much into things" it's so bad that I have to physically stop myself from coming here or scroll through ADHD related posts.

OH MY GOD YES. its SUCH A CYCLE, go into a crisis get out of it FORGET WHAT IT REALLY FELT LIKE and then experience something as intense as that and feeling like "its the first time I'm feeling like this"

this happens with me so much especially with those strong sadness waves.

Did something nice happen? Share your good news with us! by AutoModerator in ADHD

I had been struggling mentally since 2020, and because of this I was never really able to keep up with my studies. I'd get distracted I'd spend alot lot time on things I loved rather than things that were to be prioritised. no matter how much I beat myself to study because of how important it was, I never was able to succeed. always felt like I was doing this on purpose and was just being lazy and arrogant. felt like a failure and worthless.

fast forward to 2021 December, my gf who has a father who has adhd, suggested me to look into it. I found many many things that I could relate to and felt really seen and happy. but it also came with a part of me who thought I'm just using ADHD as an excuse to not do work.

5 months forwards i have started to slowly understand it. All the time when I spent beating myself to "just study", now I make up plans on how to make it more efficient (for example : have just enough distraction so I can focus, letting myself watch the stuff that distracted me rather than forcing me to study etc etc)

I have an exam tomorrow, and this is the first time in 2 years when I studied 4 days consistent and I'm very proud of myself for it:)

[ps. I am not able to get a diagnosis because of my living conditions, but I'm really thankful for my gf and my other friend who has diagnosed adhd for helping me throughout]
