Haha this is a scene in inside out 2

this, except it's just an upsetting reminder that the task I'm putting off is not even that hard, yet I'm still not doing it.

Have you ever been tested for ADHD? I don't want to go around diagnosing people but this kind of executive dysfunction is central to it

Do you sometimes agonize on and off for hours over a task that could be done in 30 minutes?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

never been diagnosed.

agnizing over tasks happens often, and at the same time I'm not actually bringing any pleasure to myself by avoiding it.

I was diagnosed at 44. Meds have changed my life. Also I'm glad that I am not actually a horrible failure of a human, as I was led to believe my entire life.

I was diagnosed last year. I'm 41. I wondered what the hell was "wrong with me" my entire life. Meds help but this shit sucks.

How do you ignore an elephant?

[–] merari42 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Is this elephant you speak of in the room with us?

[–] disguy_ovahea 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I don’t remember. What do I look like, an elephant?

One byte at a time

That would be way too much work

So true - I have a huge overwhelming cleanup job and finally broke it down to …. How about just collect obsolete electronics like cordless phones in a box for recycling? That’s it. Quick and easy. But I’m successfully ignoring it

Then vacuum the floor full of smaller tasks. No more tasks and the floor is vacuumed.
