    Anyone have advice for dealing a adhd without meds I cant seem to get started on shit and when I do I get sucked into a hobby instead of finishing. Ive been to a dr and no dice.

      Have you tried getting horny about work? Actually though, caffeine kinda helps.

      only thing that ever worked for me was getting emotionally worked up about whatever it was I needed to do. absolutely sucked and was probably traumatizing but it did work. 4/10, would not recommend unless you're desperate.

      What kind of shit are you trying to do? A lot of the time my meds just hyperfocused me onto my hobbies or useless tasks instead, which w. as exactly what happened before except on vyvanse I was talking way too fast the whole time and distracted myself for 12 hours instead of 2. I don't have any guaranteed strategies but I always recommend that you remind yourself that you literally cannot stop yourself from having adhd, you can only overcome it but not overcoming it on a task or a day or a month doesn't mean failure, it just means you're living with a condition that makes your life harder.

      My partner was in a similar situation and if you have not already I can recommend looking at ADHD comorbidities like rejection sensitive dysphoria or ADHD induced OCD. For them, it put a lot of things in perspective where things they thought were previously personal failings were actually caused by that ADHD "original sin", so to speak.

          Not really, the author just decided to use game-making tools to lay it out
