I've already had a massive post about this before, but when I was diagnosed with ADD I had no idea how much of my life it was affecting.
Until I saw this video about 3 years ago, it shook me to my core, everything he said lined up and made sense now. I used to go by the name BallisticGe0rge because of my short temper. I always thought that was just who I was, but this explained it.
does he present advice? I'll watch it later(lol)
fuck my ADHD.
I been hating myself because of it.
I have 8 unfinished books.
6 unfinished video games.
Over 10 unfinished apps/websites I programmed.
LOTS of abandoned hobbies (talking over 100 potentially.)
Played a variety of sports, tried being both introverted and extroverted.
I used to take medication when I was in middle school but avoided therapy & medicine since because they didn't fix my problems.
Now that I'm an adult I'm willing to consider them if there is an actual legitimate cure. I don't care about a short-term solution where you just talk to someone to make you feel better.
Is there an actual cure?
I have abandoned 2 career paths now, I have juggled multiple jobs and I just feel unmotivated to keep trying.

Edit - Here's the entire series of his presentation, anyone dealing with ADHD should definitely watch it.
