MODERATORS
Is this an ADHD thing? I swear I relate to like 90% of the stuff I end up seeing on here but I've never been diagnosed.
I absolutely get addicted to like anything I enjoy and go full bore into them and then never touch them again or at least not for a year or so.
I mean lots of things are ADHD things, that alone are completely normal! It's usually the combination or severity of things that lead to something being considered that needs treatment.
If you find that you are struggling to take care of responsibilities or enjoy life, I always suggest talking to doctor/counselors. Could be ADHD, could be need coping mechanism, could be something else. IDK. But life should be enjoyed and doing adult responsibilities shouldn't feel like ripping out finger nails (so I've been told)
