To elaborate; I literally cannot focus on a workout, particularly a cardio routine, for longer than 5 minutes or so. If the best possible wourkout for me were to do 20 minutes of rowing, running, or cycling, I will literally want to kill myself after five minutes. Typically it won't come to that, so I'll just half ass it, call it quits and take the walk of shame home, bothered, unmoisturized, unhappy, out of my lane, unfocused, languishing. This is not due to over-exertion or the overall difficulty of the exercise but I guess some kind of latent inability to focus on any task for longer than the bare minimum.

I guess the simple answer is "Just mix it up, doofus", but when I do that I end up just half-assing even more. What is to be done?

    If I have latent/undiagnosed ADHD it'd be at least an explanation, but I can't afford that diagnosis shit, so it's not happening.

      I'm not talking about that. Just generally if you spend a lot of time online it absolutely decimates your attention span with or without ADHD.
