dude I just go through it
Aayan [#7]I can't get meds cuz of some shortages. It's funny because VLR has basically become one of my main go to distractions from whatever I'm doing.
If I'm not at home I just fidget with my keys.
if I stop posting it'll be either because I'm dead or because they've restocked conerta nationwide
I've never even taken any drugs cause I live in a shithole country and haven't got a formal diagnosis, but I'm 100% sure I have multiple flavors of mental illness (spent 2hrs 30 mins pacing back and forth in my room today, got a bit too excited).
Generally its whatever if I have nothing doing but on deadlines it becomes a fucking problem
AstroGalaxy [#14]u need meds for adhd its almost impossible for me to do anything*
see I just refuse to believe this. I can maintain focus if I block everything out (and I mean everything;clear desk, clear phone, nothing in sight but the task) but it doesnt last is the problem

damn sorry to hear about your country.
make sure you see a specialist at some point though, I had a friend who thought he had something, but it turned out he just had a severe deficiency, and any meds would've harmed him.
yeah deadlines suck, I can't get motivated to do crap until it's last minute. It got so bad at one point I started missing exams hoping they could give me resits so I could have like an extra week to cram.

ye I'll prob see one when I travel or something so I know it's wrong wtf's actually wrong with me.
also not even looking to take any drugs, i just want to hear how people with similar "quirks" deal with them

I don't do meds, I honestly just take advantage of the hyper focus and try to aim it at productive stuff. RN it's SEO and web design, in the past it was SQL.
it can even work with Valorant if you'd like to improve, I've used it to play DM for hours on end and to watch tons of vods and analysis videos. Really just let it rip on whatever activity you're into until you find something you like, makes you a better person or makes you money (then drop it after 2 months and find a new one) 👍
sheki [#20]LMFAOOO i do have meds but i rarely take them
idk if ur asking this out of wanting actual advice but either way lots and lots of to do lists, even if the items on them are really small and insignificant 👍 its harder to procrastinate on something if the task is super easy to do
yes I want actual advice.
I've accumulated 5+ books over 5 yrs for todo lists cause i write almost everything down lol. I dont do all of them to time, but it helps.
What I want to figure out is how to stop randomly tweaking when I get excited

do you have things to fidget with? i learned how to twirl a pen around my fingers n it keeps my hands busy during class/doing homework lol
i mostly struggle with the more attention-deficit side of adhd but theres probably tons of coping skills online tht can help with hyperactivity since thats what it sounds like, but obviously i cant know for sure since i dont know you haha

dude Adderall is stupidly expensive here and just about any adhd medicines in general
askrial [#23]i don't have meds. the way that i cope is that i set small goals, and letting yourself do a bit of fun. ex. i have an 10 paragraph essay to do. i can do 2 paragraphs, then play a swift, 2 paragraphs, swift, etc. etc. until i finish.
me 4-5 months ago 🗿

yeah I deattach/reattach pen heads a lot and sometimes I just play with whatever I get my hands on until I get told (by someone who's annoyed) to stop. When it gets really bad tho i physically cant sit still like i have to move

ahh that actually does sound really difficult to manage without meds, im sorry :( the best advice i can give is maybe take time out of ur day to maybe exercise and get the energy out of ur system? but since it sounds pretty spontaneous i'm not sure how much help that'll be. best u can do is do some research on coping skills like i said or hope you can get a psychiatrist to help you out, gl man
