eli5 – Can someone explain ADHD? Specifically the procrastination and inability to do “boring” tasks?
In: 2637
Is ADD pretty much the same thing, but without the hyperactive component? I’m chill AF, diagnosed ADD in High School, never stayed on meds because I hate feeling like a zombie. I’ve always been smart though and completed projects and papers at the last minute because of the pressure. My main motivation to get things done around the house is to avoid disappointment from my partner who is more focused and type A. If I had the choice to fuck off all day, I would, and sometimes do. WFH has just made it worse and being in front of a computer all day makes it impossible not to get distracted with other things; hence me typing this now during work hours. I somehow have managed to produce good work and meaningful contributions and have direct reports now. Some days I literally do an hour of work and other days, I am so busy, I am mentally exhausted at the end…like there’s really no balance. But, I’ve just accepted that’s how my brain works and I don’t want to be on meds.
