(my context: I feel like my ADHD is a bit close to AuDHD, but doesn't have the consistency to make it on an official psychological evaluation. I experience a feeling of being 'broken in the head' to some degree. Examples include being fine with eating the same favorite meals for over a month, at least once a day. Sometimes twice a day. Another example would be the starting and stopping that I do. This applies to E V E R Y T H I N G, outside of the human basics.

Want to start a business? Boy do I! 3-48 hours later... Yeah I don't think this is gonna work out... I'm just gonna get all depressed that I feel hopeless, and probably have another business idea in about a week to a month later.

Want to check off one of your bucket list items that seems like I might as well do them while I have all the time in the world, while you're in between jobs? Boy do I! Which one should I pick..? Does it really matter? **....I guess you're right brain. I'll start in on learning how to make a video game for the... checks notes ...27th time in my life.

Want to start selling t-shirt designs and give up on it 1.5 months later? Boy do I!

As you can see... it just keeps on going around and around and around.

Thanks for coming to my Vent Talk.)
