Welcome! You're possibly a self medicating ADHD person.
Otter common signs you should get checked out
do you sit there paralyzed and unable to do a task, even when you want to do it and know it needs to get done?
are you weirdly calm and effective in stressful and panicked situations?
do you get really into a hobby for a while, then drop it forever because you lose all interest?
If so, a diagnosis could be life altering.
Do you enjoy fresh fish as a meal?
Are you good at swimming?
Do you have a favorite rock?
It is important to identify if you are an otter so you can build an appropriate environment and daily routine that is conducive to a happy lifestyle.
They hold hands while they sleep. It's too adorable.
the hobby thing really gets on your nerves after 3-4 times of spending a shitton of money into every single one
Yeah but if one of my friends wants to take up leatherworking, guitar, beer brewing, 3d printing, miniature painting, drone photography, Super Nintendo, bass, embroidery, scuba diving, or stiltwalking I have some gear and between 3 weeks and 6 months of knowledge to get them started. Oh, also, does anyone have a good source for parts on old gi joe toys?
Since I'm aware of this I just focus my energy on choosing the perceft balance between price and quality of the required equipment and then never actually buying it because by the time it's chosen I've already found another hobby.
Not trying to be a naysayer or anything, but aren't these all normal? Otherwise I'm a mega ADHD.
a lot of adhd things are "normal" problems that people deal with, except that they are often dialed up to the point of affecting a person's daily life negatively.
