I study computer science and any time I sit down to code, I just browse or watch Youtube. Anything but do the work. Days and even months have gone by like this where I haven't done even an hour of learning. Its tough because in order to code I need to be in front of a screen but my brain refuses to study and just looks for that dopamine hit. My grades have suffered and I feel like a constant failure.
To clarify this is not an effect of the pandemic but has been happening for the past few years.
Oh man that's a familiar feeling for sure. Glad I could help get you pointed in the right direction. Best of luck to you comrade, definitely feel free to reach out if you've got other questions (especially about the diagnosis process if you live in the states) :heart-sickle:
I'd also recommend the r/ADHD subreddit as a good compendium of resources and occasional helpful pro tips - it's one of the better subreddits left imo
