ADHD Attention

We've talked many times about overthinking and the good and bad sides of it, but I want to expand on a particular aspect of it today. Because I've overthought everything, I have a different way of looking at problems than many people do. I am not content to try a solution or two and find my preference. 

 Hey guys, it's Spec. I decided to take this slot from Jacob because I actually have something to say about ADHD for a change. I feel many people struggle with their mental health not only those with ADHD. But, it seems that people with ADHD struggle more frequently, and to a greater degree. 

It is no secret that the mental health services in the Uk are shocking, to say the least, but on top of this, it has knock-on effects on other services that some people may not think about. In my case, I have joined the long wait list for adults with ADHD who are looking to get help or support. 

School is often a struggle for ADHD. Not because we're dumb or lazy, but because forced learning isn't interesting. The more forced something is, the less motivated I am. When I was in college, I struggled to sit for 5 minutes and even look at homework or projects. Yet during the same time, I got interested in using grey water in residential construction and checked out 3 books from the library. I completely read all three and took notes the whole time. Self-motivation is key for me to learn anything. 

  The first one I will work on will be my browser bookmarks. Not because I planned to work in this order, but because I randomly just got motivated to do it. When you get a motivation wave, you gotta ride it! This is part of Goal 2: Organising and Simplifying programmes and apps and files.

No, no, I'm not talking about the computers and the AI, I'm talking about human robots. You know the ones, who can't look up from their phones and can't participate in society outside of a social media post. 

The Feeling of Being Lazy We've all had those days where we felt a bit lazy, tired, and overwhelmed. Just unable to really pull ourselves up  and get to work. Well those with ADHD often live with this feeling constantly. 

 Back when my mom was pregnant with me, someone tried using a quantum computer to determine my gender, but in a freak accident, my fetus merged with the quantum particles in the womb and thus I was born with the extraordinary talent to do extremely complex things well while completely sucking at any normal human tasks.
