when I was younger I used to think I was smart but now I am worried my brain is hosed and will prevent me from succeeding in life

got ADHDD? tell me about it. I wonder if I have it but because I can pay my mortgage and get to work on time then maybe it’s not bad enough to warrant treatment so instead i’ll just be a perpetual mild failure

dioxazine posted:the sky is blue because of rayleigh scattering, the clouds are white due to mie scattering well yeah of course, but your perception of them is through an internal representation of them everything out there exists, but what you experience is your own internal representation of them

Beeftweeter posted:for me it just means i get a billion thoughts all the time about complicated poo poo lol I think the crux of it for me is that yes my mind works like that when it has things to latch onto, but as I’ve aged, the things that provide stimulation and interest become fewer and fewer. it’s like I’ve lived long enough to have explored everything that interests my brain, and there is nothing left to hyperfocus on it feels like I just don’t have control over what I can put effort into. and at least years ago I had an endless horde of things to dive into but nowadays .. I’m a motivationless husk of an individual

Beeftweeter posted:sounds like depression actually dude. go see a psych for a bit and try to get it sorted maybe. probably. when I read “driven to distraction”, the book just resonated with me constantly there’s defo high correlation with adhd and depression, and over the last year or so, I’ve slowly concluded that I am not as smart or special as I once believed, and the reality is that I’ll probably be a perpetual failure, because I can only work on something I find interesting until the inevitable time I find it no longer interesting. crime committer is the latest victim. thrust game next in line defo need to get my self sorted by a professional rather than self diagnoseses

Ciaphas posted:how often do you do something like heading towards the door to go out, thinking "oh, i should grab my keys", then continue walking out the door keys ungrabbed because you forgot the thought almost as you thought it oh lol all the time. usually not keys because “keys wallet phone” (as I slap all three my pockets in succession) is a routine burned into my brain, but everything else yes. I’ve kind of had to learn that if I remember something I need to do I have to act on that thought NOW else I’ll forget the worst is (for example) when I’m doing a task at work, say pouring out the methadone, and I remember another job that needs to be done so I find myself doing another task without really “deciding” to leave one task and start another. the lack of impulse control loving sucks lol, my work colleagues point out how easily distracted I get my understanding is that, neurologically, adhd is a lack of dopamine in the reward pathway, so the brain is seeking something to stimulate it, and then it sometimes finds something it likes and can hyperfocus on it, until it no longer provides satisfaction. and stimulants work because they effectively allow the brain to find reward in almost any task.

pregabalin has all but surpassed gabapentin, it’s got much more favourable pharmacokinetics so dosing is far easier. it’s gaining a lot of street cred for betting high in the best way so becoming a controlled drug across the world I wonder if I was on stims if I could make more use of my time off. I dream of getting thrust master to a place where a VC will give me $100 and I can employ a person with artistic integrity to help me make the game and can progress out of my crappy pharmacy cocoon. I imagine a lot of poo poo mostly imagining being successful but then I realise my ideas or at least execution is garbage just go look at crimecommitter.com lmao clown university amirohjt

I had emailed a psychiatrist and he said he only prescribes drugs but he can’t diagnose a person so he gave me an email link and so there’s this clinical psychologist who can diagnosis spicy brain disorder and it’s $1550 so I better start saving if I saved like $25 a week in less than two years I could maybe chat to this lady. who knows what she’d say? apparently there has to be clear indication of adhd in childhood, and you might find this hard to believe but I was a weird as gently caress kid

yeah it’s a mess. the psychiatrist specialises in this area, and there expectation I suppose is that you’re coming to them to get medication for it. I think the part I am “worried” about is that I’m not bad enough for treatment. which on the surface is a good thing to not be so bad, but I suppose I feel like I’m never reaching my potential and also epic failure (as I’ve elaborated) so it would kinda suck to find out that I am just a lazy fucker instead of being able to point to a cause of my uselessness, but well gotta try I guess. thanks

Presto posted:My brain lacks the "calculate how to catch a ball" hardware. I never really played sports but somehow I am extremely adequate at throwing a ball especially overhead spiral throws of mini gridiron balls Sagebrush posted:multivariable calculus problem that a 3-year-old's brain can solve automatically and unconsciously. or are our brains more like a neural network where it can’t do the math, at all, but it’s built up a network that can accurately predict the result of a throw. maybe this is semantics? same thing but different dogs can do it too

Sagebrush posted:These are symptoms of depression and anxiety disorders. hmm idk it seems like an effective method to increase the amount of perceived time before I have to do something I don't want to do polyester concept posted:look up bedtime procrastination lol. it’s super common with adhd even if you have a job that you don’t loathe. now that I’m on stimulants, paradoxically it’s easier for me to go to bed a normal time around 10 instead of the 12, 1, 2 am nights i was pulling almost every day for years hmm I do go to bed at those times I've heard some things like it's the only time you're free or some other bullshit, but it's generally because at night time I have the ability to hyperfocus where I don't have any other time, and so it's effortless to stay up late

is it possible that drinking is bad for your mental health? I’m trying to trick myself into believing that I’m happier when I don’t drink, or more specifically, if I don’t have any drinks in an evening then when I go to bed and also get up I tell myself “I’m so glad I didn’t drink” and I hope if I do it enough then when it’s late arvo and I feel like a drink, instead of only focusing on the fun, maybe I also remember how pleased I am when I don’t drink and maybe that influences myself into not drinking

nudgenudgetilt posted:yeah, honestly i don't know the difference myself. i'm just thinking "i wonder if i could make it over the fence on the nearby bridge" is in the realm of intrusive thoughts rather than just bad thoughts. yeah idk like, the brain is sometimes a problem solving machine and sometimes existence feels very unappealing so my brain comes up with lots of solutions to that problem and hands them to me. not many of them are constructive but yeah vent here for sure
