I don’t know if I have adhd but I see a lot of posts that seem to have similar mannerisms to me. I find I have to have multiple ways of making lists because I will start ignoring them. I also have to focus on the most important things to do. Like constant mantras in my head to get these things done. One of them must be going through all the stuff I need to get done and prioritize the most important. I try to do this every weekend. must be done. must be done. I have to like leverage obsesive thought.
If this sort of behavior is interrupting your life at all, you might want to see a doctor. This type of behavior sounds like it could be ADHD.
But I am obviously not a medical professional. This is just my opinion as someone with ADHD that had previously been an interruption in my life.
yeah I just don’t see how it will help. Its what I have to do to cope and from what I see medication may make one feel better but does not help maintaining a job and such. Its like being a functional vs non functional alcoholic. If you can’t manage then it seems to help but I am managing anyway.
Perfectly valid. The major point being “if it’s interrupting your life” and from what you said, it seems like it’s not.
Different things work for different people. I know before I got diagnosed, I was in denial that there was an issue, yet several parts of my life were suffering because of my disorder and had been suffering for a long time.
Therefore, personally, I needed to get diagnosed as a sort of “first step to recovery” to reference your “alcohol addiction” analogy.
