That only really happens if there is no immediate threat of doom. If there is, I am the most productive person on the face of the Earth but only due to the sheer terror that results from last second procrastination.

it's called executive dysfunction

Then I power through what should have been my whole day of work in 2h30 before going to bed. Then I go try to sleep very late on an adrenaline high, wondering why I tend to burnout, cause I'm so great at this.

Anyway, the medication seemed to have calmed me down a bit on this.

Hey wait... My brain does have hands!

I used to chroncially be like this, it was awful. Somehow, somewhere, without outside help I flipped, and now Im organized, efficient and proactive. Marking this spot so I can think about it and come back when I think I know what changed.

I did that a lot recently, but the past week I decided that I hated spending all day thinking about the tasks more than doing them.

I’ve been forcing myself to just do it and I’ve been getting through it pretty quickly and not having that task loom over me all day.

[x] I'm in this photo and I don't like it.

Yes. Meds can help this. Meds can also make the problem worse. As with all drugs, set, setting and dosage,

Literally procrastination.

No one in this community wants to hear it, but it is a symptom of personality, and the only way you fix it is with consistent effort to discipline yourself over a long period of time. Therapy is as effective as drugs. It just takes more effort, and people would rather brand themselves as disabled than take small, consistent steps over a long period of time.

I tend to get something done every day but my weekends get shot because it takes me so long. Im not diagnosed with adhd or anything else but I feel like my life is just a long string of being behind on getting things done.

Yep, and to help it somewhat I've been setting alarms. If I can't get started and am stressing to do the thing, I'm presuming I won't and just take time of till the next activity. That way I end up doing nothing, but not burnt out

I made a meme of this exact phenomenon before my original instance went belly up, can't get it to upload but the text was:

"People say being ADHD doesn't come with superpowers

But can a neurotypical feel the exhaustion of a task without ever getting up to do it?"

Hey, I don't remember giving you permission to post my thoughts.

Hot take. Don’t use adhd as an excuse to be lazy

But your brain does have hands. They are your hands. Your hands are wired directly to your brain.

And yes, there's five things you would have to or want to do, but do not quite know which to start or how you should exactly to do them and you end up doing anything else you are confident with.

Me.. right now... Oh god someone send help

But that's not caused by ADHD. These days everyone seems to think they have ADHD or some kind of food tolerance. Without knowing what it really means to actually have those.
