How the *^$#@ do you deal with ADHD, /b?

How the *^$#@ do you deal with ADHD, /b?

You don't you either get put on meds because the school says so and your parents can't handle it anymore. Or you learn to just get used to it, some say they've trained themselves to focus but really you never really are 100% focused.

I'm an adult. Been dealing with it w/ medication. Got switched to a new doctor who doesn't "feel comfortable" prescribing me stimulant medications. I got distracted literally 4 times between starting this thread and actually clicking post. I even got distracted making this reply.

How to deal with a fictitious disorder... Good question, OP!

Tell that to my fucking brain! This screen shot isn't staged. That is 42 tabs.

Get a job, work out, go running. You'll have less time and energy to worry about imaginary disorders.

Have had ADHD all my life, eventually you grow up and realize that it's easy to control and act/behave like a normal functioning adult, but it's also just as easy if not easier to be a giant pussy and blame all of your hardships in life on "muh disability" just so you have an excuse, albeit a poor one, for why you have done literally nothing with your life.....which is what most cry babies with the "disorder" do

I've been medicated most of my adult life. I've got no regrets and live a pretty good life. Recently, I've been taken off my addies. The up side is I feel super creative and research is so much more fun. The bad side is I can't fucking accomplish anything more complicated than a Sup Forums thread because I get fucking distracted and follow fucking tangents that lead into rabbit holes. "muh disability" is fucking brutal and it just might ruin my life.

Once thing that helps me is keeping a daily fap count of 3+.

Tl;dr - up ur fap count brah

None of those tabs are porn.

Listen m8 not saying that your issue doesn't affect you and as we all know, no 2 people are effected by the same affliction in identical ways and imho you being medicated all your life is what fucked you, I was medicated for like 2 years before I started hiding the pills instead of taking them because they made me want to harm myself, 22 now and I only have minor physical issues such as tweaks or ticks like minor muscle spasms and repeated leg bounce that kinda shit all the mental oh look a squirrel shit I learned to control midway through highschool since it was fucking my grades up

There ya go. Problem solved - thank me later

Thanks for the advice. I wasn't medicated until adult hood and consequently got a late start on life. The meds got me through trade school. Got tired of the machine shop and now I'm a computer science major. The meds got me through school and through a profession. I'm pushing 30 now so brain plasticity is fucked which means it'll be real fucking hard to just learn to control it.

I'll happily comply if you'll be so kind as to demonstrate. Make a video tutorial.

Best of luck man, and as long as you don't fuck around with coding or what not I think you'll do fine, failed my AP computer sciences classes in HS because I couldn't read single lines at a fucking time kept trying to read the whole picture at once but that was before I learned to slow the fuck down and before I started smoking weed, wish I could go back and try it again with my current capabilities but fuck it past is past

I used to be pretty bad but i kind of just flicked a switch. Realised almost everything is better unsaid. Really quiet now. Stick to my own interests etc.

I also from about 27 started carrying a little digital chicken egg timer with me everywhere. Everytime i feel myself get distracted i set the time for 3 mins then get back to what i was doing after my 3 mins of distraction.

That might help. I'll try it. Thanks user!

Start with a project that's fun for you and go out and figure out how to do it. I started learning actionscript(flash games) like that before I started going back to school. It was actually what made me decide to pursue it.

Also i listen to punk music almost 24 7 in bluetooth headphones. Take off when im talking to my employees or making calls or driving etc.

Happy to give you a list of bands that hit that spot that makes everything feel calm around you

i wanted to kms on the meds dont fucking do them theyre a big pharma hoax that a bunch of jews made from speed. i just use music or try my best to become interested in something that i have to do. Or if you have a goal that your super invested in, you could manage to stay focused for just about anything.

i listen to punk alot
i forgot to add that really hyped up music that your into is what you want. and this pic
