Who here /add/adhd/?
I've always had a hard time focusing, always losing shit and thought I was just careless, and couldn't stop shifting around in my seat, bouncing my leg, etc... and recently was recently diagnosed ADHD and given a prescription for adderall.
How do you manage it besides popping pills?
IMO everyone is born differently, it's not a disorder, it's just how you were born. Or perhaps it's a learned behavior and it's not how you were born, but how you were raised.
Take they adderall if you want, but you shouldn't feel like it's something you have to do.
Of course I'm not a medical professional
I have ADD and I don't seem to be too affected by it.
But I also have memory loss issues and other genetic shit so life isn't in my favor

Forgot to mention.. Ritalin seems to make it worse, haven't tried anything else because Ritalin is the default here and after tasting and seeing Ritalin make it worse they stopped trying
Is dating an alcoholic chick a good idea?
This honestly staggers me. Women are people too, and this lady obviously needs support and help. Date her to help her, not to see her as damaged product and therefore has low enough standards to date you. Pathetic.

>women are people too
Thats where you're wrong
>>35283479
>date people to help them
this really isn't a good idea.
Tell me about /bpd/, robots. I strongly suspect my ex had it.
speaking to professionals whom were there when the term Borderling Personality Disorder first entered common use, it was a catchall phrase indicating that the therapist couldn't really pinpoint a neurological defect or indentifiable neurosis, yet the clients would present with extreme behaviours that were most assurredly unhealthy for themselves and everyone around them... and it might even be said that persons diagnosed with B.P.D. weren't so much 'mad' as 'bad'
basically they're narcisistic egotists whom unlike the archetypal sociopath, can register emotions and even experience empathy, but choose not to

That...actually makes a lot of sense. My ex was there for me in the sense of her holding me and stuff when I got emotional over her, however, suggesting some goodness.

it's pretty common for BPD folks to create a lot of heightened emotion, blowing small problems way out of proportion and causing their intended victim to feel emotionally drained by constantly reassuring the BPD partner that their concerns can be taken care of
then once the BPD partner feels satisfied by the level of commitment displayed by their victim, they switch to playing the little girl lost who finally understands and believes what they are being told; nurturing a sense in the victim that they have been valuable, and fostering a co-dependency where the victim becomes addicted to being needed
this is a warping of the natural desire in men to nurture and protect women, the BPD partner exploiting it for the purposes of feeling a sense of power and control
and if you follow that through in it's logical course, you come to understand that someone who thrives on a sense of power and control is actually deeply insecure - yet unwilling to admit that their are some things that are beyond their control, they instead orchestrate events to a chaotic pitch, which at least they are at the centre of

I have to say, that is a mighty fine black woman.
Anyone else spend all their time on the internet, incredibly bored?
I remember when using this site was fun, when I could spend an evening entertained by watching a video, or be happy playing a video game. People tell me to get out more, but even when I do make people laugh, it doesn't feel good. I found people with the exact same interests as me, but still there was no "spark". Even my favorite hobby, listening to music, is only good enough to pass the time. This seems so unnatural, why should a young person be experiencing all of this? Why all at once?
Do any of you feel the same?
Anyone? For instance, I also spend most of my time on boards I care nothing about because the content is easy to digest.
It's cliche'd advice, but you gotta force yourself to go completely out of your way to do different things.
Falling into a routine pattern (wake up, work, drink, music, sleep) is the enemy. It's comfortable but every day it's ever so slightly less, until eventually you're 100% bored and have forgotten how to even do anything else. And then the boredom becomes misery.
I dunno - pickup a pencil & paper, and start drawing. It'll suck at first. Not just your skill, but the experience as a whole. It's not something you want to do. But eventually you might find joy in it. And it'll work for a while. Doesn't have to be drawing, just an example. Gotta find new things, and get into them enough that you start to appreciate some of the joys in them that you don't get elsewhere.
A new activity is like starting a big RPG game where people say "yeah the first X hours suck but if you stick through it it ends up good!" or something.
So that feeling, of new activities sucking at first, and you being so used to the same routine that you already have (all day internet, bored) make for a formidable barrier to break. It's like we create cages of our own, happily, before noticing that we're building a cage. And then once we're comfortable, we realize we're stuck.
Just gotta power through new hobbies/experiences until something gives you a spark.
I don't know what else might even work.
Me? I suck. I wake up, work, drink, sleep. I used to be 100% stoked to binge an anime, but now I get a couple episodes in and am bored out of my mind. I used to just lay back and soak in music, but now it's just background. I used to get a new game and be stoked to play it and think about it every waking moment - now I get distracted, and cannot commit.
The only good thing is a couple friends I see once a week, and the alcohol that helps me sleep. I'm working on it, though. I think.
Yes that's why I came back here after 6 years to see what people were talking about. The same old depressing shit apparently

It is pronounced "jif".

That altruism doesn't exist, that every single thing we do, we do for ourselves. Even the greatest philanthropists, give to charity either to look good to the press or to look good to themselves. When we help people, we do it to alleviate the guilt of not helping them.
There is no one who is truly selfless.

Do you honestly want women for any other reason besides sex?
Did that looney tunes bitch get hit with a frying pan or something?
On very rare occasions I've met women who I actually enjoy talking to because they're witty and we have great banter and actual personality chemistry
But I've met two, MAYBE three women like that in my life and they're all older than me by at least five years. Not sure why that is.
Yes. But i'm really normie and have had multiple gfs. Getting the first gf is the hardest because you truly can't understand the pain of no gf til you've had one before. Most kissless hand holdless virgins simply don't understand the true crushing loneliness and how much it truly sucks to not have someone that close to you. That's also why its so difficult to get your first gf, because at first relationships seem to be mostly about sex.

How much do your parents make
Is your house nice
My dad works in web/graphic design, my mother is a counsellor/CBT therapist but unemployed a lot. I think they do okay financially, better than before. Not wealthy by any stretch, but okay.
Our house is alright.
My mother is on SSI and Section 8 so we live in a shitty 2 bedroom in the Bronx. I'm a leech of a leech but my mother is mentally ill and not that bright so she sort of has an excuse but I'm just a lazy piece of shit.
>>35281947
My mom gets money because she's unable to work, since she got hit by a car some 30 years ago. My father is already getting pension. They live in a shit tier house, the toilet flush doesn't work, there is a hole in the wall in which I used to live, they take a bath like once a week, in cold weather even less frequently.
Who else here hates fat people?
All of them are gluttonous pigs. Every 2-3 weeks, my mother goes on a "diet". And by a "diet" I mean she buys nothing but weight watchers and gets extremely bitchy an angry before giving up awhile later.
If you are fat, you ARE a subhuman and you NEED to loose weight. You will NEVER get a qt GF unless you loose that terrible monument of hedonism on your chest.
>>35281930
>you will never get a qt gf while being fat
Tell my girlfriend that then
You know how super hot guys have BBW fetishes?
Girls have the same thing with guys, fat guys, like me.And no, I'm not rich at all
>>35281930
>tfw fat and have gf
Hmmm. I do need to loose weight but pizza and beer is so delicious ;_;

I hate that junkie whore.
