Apparently I’m high functioning or something?? I’ve made it this far through life and would call myself relatively successful (good career, family, etc). I do have some problems with prioritizing work and focusing (hence why the meme is relevant). Literally just did a Twitch focus stream to try to stay on track and hold myself accountable to be focused 😅

I really appreciate you! I’m sorry if I took offense to any of your response. I’m like 30 and just learned this year that I may have adhd and that my standard way of doing things may not be “normal”. Totally looking into seeing a professional and learning more about myself and whatever treatment may be necessary. It’s great having people around for support as well, it means a lot!

Thanks for proving me right I guess? Nowhere does that say I do not want to see a medical professional.

I’m really appreciate the thoughtful response, just want to say that I never said I’m afraid of medication. I just like to be open minded about various options without directly assuming medication is the best option for every person in every situation. I definitely would want a medical professional to hear my specific symptoms or scenario and give that recommendation if it’s best for me! I’ll take look into your other suggestions as well, thanks!

I’m sorry, please correct me if I’m wrong, but where did I say that I’m opposed or don’t want to see a doctor? All I pretty much said is that there are a variety of options and that I would like a professional recommendation before assuming medication is the best solution for my situation. Please be careful with assuming other people’s health situations and making false accusations in the future.

While I think medication is a valid option, Im not sure I would use it as the first option, unless I had a licensed therapist/psychiatrist give a diagnosis and medication recommendation. It’s entirely possible I just need a change of routine or environment, but everyone does has varying situations and medications is one option that I think (I don’t have any sources haha) proves effective!

Fair, fair. I totally get it, I will agree though that your basic premise is still true: qualifiers aren’t the way to achieve a goal. Really just becomes reasoning to justify why you couldn’t achieve it.

We do all live our own lives, but I appreciate the callout you made and want to respect that. I start work at 8 but work from home so my alarm is like 7:30 and I just feel groggy anyways but again, probably due to lack or sleep and lack of a stricter schedule on my part. A bit harder for me to plan out with a family but I should be trying harder.

Oof you got me! I had a feeling I’d be called out for the qualifier and with good reason! The reason for that was if I’m going to sleep late, then 5am gym isn’t feasible, but it sounds like I need to recalibrate my schedule so I don’t feel dead to be able to accommodate for some kind of morning activity.

It’s been really great here! I’m just getting started trying to be more active but this post alone has just been amazing (although it may be an outlier). This is the most activity I’ve gotten from any online thing I’ve done, so it’s pretty huge to me!

Everyone here seems to have the right frame of mind for why we’re here and what we left and what to expect here. It’s just a matter of encouraging each other to continue to be active when we can and support each other and the platform as a whole!

This is my delayed response, really appreciate your thoughtful reply!

Also will add contact to my list of stuff to watch (isn’t there such a finite time to experience all the media out there??).

Not a problem, that’s what I’m here for! Be sure to give someone else a welcome whenever you have the chance! Keep the good vibes going around and encouraging people to stay active here.

You all good, I got you fam! 😅

Sorry for the late response! Totally agree, I only lurked on the other place but there was always an endless steam of stuff to lurk through since there were so many people. With this community I’d feel more responsible to maintain the consistency by at least being active within posts people are creating so I’ve been trying to do that more. It’s a group effort and totally think we can do it if we keep this up!
