Diagnosed guy here.
Most actions you do throughout your day have at least some essence of meaning in them, so no boost is needed. But then, you hit that one action, that doesn't improve your life in the slightest, and trying to do it is unironically hundred times harder then it should be just based on the fact, that your brain fells like you are literally throwing part of your life away for that one stupid thing.
@Bro-Drillard @WashedOutGundamPilot
I know I will now offend literally everyone in here and I don't care.
It can feel like a soft kind of a suicide. Because you feel every second you threw away from your life doing that thing, that feel all the future and past times you will be forced to repeat it.
But yeah... I don't take the drugs. That's not a solution, that is just being stupid.
@LukeAlmighty @Bro-Drillard @WashedOutGundamPilot I get the feel that folding laundry, doing dishes etc. feels like it takes more time than it should, but come on now. It shouldn’t take too much mental readjusting to realize that A: there is tangible benefit to the chore (physical and mental) and B: these are tasks which require 0% brain power. I almost always multitask by putting something on to listen to or check up on loved ones on the phone while I do them. Zero seconds of life thrown away; far less than vidya or social media anyways.

First off, I was not talking about fucking laundry. Not sure, if you knew this, but life has bigger problems then the laundry.
And second: >just get over it
Geez, It's almost as if it was a mental illness or something.
@veff @Bro-Drillard @WashedOutGundamPilot
No, you understand perfectly, yet refuse to let the concept sink in. And that is ok. I didn't get it either for a long time, but humans do have breaking points, and we love to ignore them. Because obviously, a bit more discipline will solve it right?
People do overwork themselves to both death and insanity. I have a limiter there in place to stop me from doing that. And people think it's a bug, not a feature.
@LukeAlmighty @LukeAlmighty @Bro-Drillard @WashedOutGundamPilot Maybe I misunderstood? OP clearly mocks addy addicts unable to perform basic functions (dishes as the example) and you seem to be agreeing in a general sense. Because I am not psychic, I don’t know what your “one thing” is, so I listed some activities of equal effort that many struggle with.
If the “one thing” provides no tangible benefit to your life and feels like suicide to you, then why do you do it? If it is necessary then it sounds like you have no discipline. Stimulants can remedy this for a bit, but that’s not ADHD.
