I have severe ADHD. Pretty sure it’s mostly because of bad habits. What to do? I don’t want to touch med. I context switch very often and could never focus for more than a few minutes
Meds won’t cure it either lol. All about management.
Self admitted ADHD is from bad habits. You deserve medication.
Youtube neurodivergent music on YouTube Supposedly helps you focus
Read Ned Hollowell’s book.
Timers, checklists, music, podcasts, etc. do more physical activities - for example you doomscroll while watching tv, but you don’t when you are running. It’s hard to focus on work because it’s boring and dull.
Also give up social media/apps and shit. Or at least don’t allow yourself to use it until you are thru the day. It sucks at first bc you’ll want that hit, but you’ll be amazed how productive you can be when you don’t have another option.
ADHD is not a disease and doesn't need to be cured. You need to understand yourself, how your brain works, and how to use it effectively. People who aren't ADHD don't understand and can't help. But stop looking at it as a disorder. It's actually a superpower in many ways.
How is it a super power? Adhd singlehanded reduce my cognitive ability by 50%. Brain is always in warming up mode
It's a superpower because it makes me more creative and intuitive. When I search for solutions I think more outside of the box. Hyper focus makes me able to focus intensely on an engaging problem for hours or even days on end with barely a break. When you learn how to use it, it's incredible. But it's like X-Men. Every superpower has its downside and can be a menace if you can't control it. You have to learn what works best for you and that's not going to be what works for most others. That makes you different not broken.
In same boat. Mediatation helps a lot but is not a cure
What are your symptoms if you don't mind sharing
Art of living's sudarshan kriya really helps me
ADHD does not stem from "bad habits". Go get professional guidance.
Cope more
It’s certainly from bad habits. Instant gratification is the cause
