I feel personally attacked
The more I see from this sub, the more I think I need a diagnosis lol. Idk if I really want to change my brain though, what if I get more productive but level out and lose creative drive?
what if I get more productive but level out and lose creative drive?
that is not how it works, unless being more productive inherently makes you lose creative drive for some reason. also being diagnosed doesn't mean you have to "change your brain"
increased productivity allows me to spend way more of my time actually doing the creative stuff than i do with worse productivity

The fuck OP you don't have to personally attack me like that
Fucking damnit to hell! 😂
FUCK
DOUBLE FUCK
Listen here you little shit…
I, too, feel the sting of being tricked by the truth. Damn you, awful truth!
I adore the way you have phrased this
I didn't come here to be attacked
I skipped the first half because I noticed the third pie chart was a fucking oval
It looked boring. I went back and checked, and I was right.
Is part of ADHD inattentiveness not making the bottom ellipse a circle? :P
Ffs... 😩
The worst part is that I knew #3 was coming, and it still got me
I think “Tendency to procrastinate” is a bit of an understatement.
God dammit
Okay fuck, you got me
honestly I don't think that's only adhd people, that's probably also true for anyone that's been on the internet for a while.

Lol, you did!! I didn't even read the title until you got me.
I did read the second half, but I was also thinking about other stuff by then. So my eyes read it, but it never made it to my mind. Not clear whether I have ADD, though.
I finally got a preliminary diagnosis days ago from my family doctor after learning about inattentive 2 years ago and thinking "oh jeez that me," but for life have joked that I probably have some kind of adhd, and had a career and lifestyle that accommodated it reasonably well. What changed was progressing in my career and the responsibilities of daily life, and my many many tricks not being as effective. I was always able to skirt by and being a "smart kid" caused it to go unnoticed and allowed me to just barely exert enough effort to succeed.
When I finally decided to book an appointment to get the ball rolling, I got one within 2 days, and had a month of lisdexamphetamine 30mg to try within an hour after the appointment, and a followup booked with a task to keep a journal of noticable changes. Amphetamines are basically the only class of drug I've never tried recreationally or been prescribed. I knowingly took the first one later in the day than I should have cause I couldn't wait to try it, but after feeling the effects for the first time during the day in to the evening I didn't even mind that I couldn't sleep. The feeling is like a blanket of calm energy and I've been amazed at how immediate it was and what I've already been able to do just by the 3rd day taking it. Some of this could be me expecting it to do these things and will see how the whole month goes but it's already such a difference.
Don’t forget that titrating is super important (figuring out the precise dose that’s optimal for you… too much or too little can sometimes be worse than nothing at all)
But yeah, meds are a freaking miracle, and amphets dont take days to build up, they’re are in and out of your system within hours, so you do get the full effects fast.
Yesterday I took my full dose, and forgot how much of a difference that extra pill is for me. I wasn’t just vegged on the couch watching TV, reluctantly cleaning or cooking a bit… I put my headphones in, connected them to the TV and watched a so-so show to provide mild entertainment that I wasn’t too invested in (I’d just want to sit and give it full attention in that case). Then as i half-watched, I cleaned, organized, took a little while and put that new battery in my phone that’s just been sitting there for weeks. I felt good…
Sucks that my dumb ass brain sometimes doesn’t want to go take the pills that help it so much. I shoulda taken them an hour ago, I think I’ll go take them now.

I knew I wasn't making it to the second column without going to the big green oval first. I know who I am.
Son of a bitch, you got me
I thought paying attention to details was on there twice. The irony hurts.
Joke's on you, I didn't get past the first 3.
Whelp. I'm green.
What does “zoomed in to check which colour they re-used in the second chart so didn’t even realise there was a third one” count as?
Monotropism?
Goddamn
I've never felt so represented
I didn't even read the first half
FUCK
Dick
Damnit
I read the second part, took my meds today!
