>>19762712ADHD is a bitch, I was diagnosed with ADD as a kid (now it's all ADHD), but never took it seriously or treated it. Basically left forgotten until about a year ago at 31. I stumbled upon a video about the "ADHD tax" and realized that every major problem I struggle with boiled down to having ADHD.
I'm extremely smart, literal genius IQ, but have never lived up to full potential due to procrastination. And it's not that I'm necessarily lazy, it's actually the exact opposite, I have to keep moving. The biggest tasks I procrastinate in are thinks like phonecalls, doing research, record keeping, video editing, etc. Boring shit that requires sitting still. Or shit that doesn't guarantee an outcome, so things like dating. I broke up with my girlfriend going on 5 months ago. I've barely put thought into dating, when I know I should because I'm 32 now and still lacking in the family department. I'm funny, kind, fit and good looking, but to actively go out and seek women so beyond me, so I usually wait until I run into one by chance.
Running has helped me manage it some. Giving something productive to do while allowing my mind to wonder and work shit out. Burns up all that extra energy and anxiety and helps me focus more when I get back. I usually run 1.5-3 hours, usually 8 to 14 miles 2-4 times a week. You're basically the human version of Belgian Malinois or a Husky, you need strong engaging tasks to straighten you out. Inactivity and boredom will turns you into a neurotic mess, and if you don't feel like you're doing something you'll become depressed. It's good if you have someone to hold you accountable, loneliness and isolation will really do you in, so have a heart to heart with your friends, family, girlfriend, or whoever.
Good luck, bro.
