when i was a child, i had a tendency to extremely hyper fixate on various topics for months, so now that i’m older it just feels like i’ve experienced everything even though I technically haven’t. the fixations are becoming much more quick in terms of cycles / how long they (don’t) last and i spend most of my time feeling bored and empty, just rotting away and feeling entertained by nothing. lately this has caused me to get really stuck in the past, so i spend a lot of time just laying in bed crate digging my own memories and feeling kind of depressed because i have nothing new to be excited by or interested in. it does not help that i don’t really have any long term goals or ambitions either, i just kind of exist.

does anyone else feel like this?

    It sounds like you’ve developed depression and it’s making your ADHD symptoms worse.

    See a therapist if you can afford it, or at least a regular doctor and get some antidepressants

        It’s the repeating steps of ADHD

        1. Not have the capacity to manage.
        2. Get depressed.
        3. Have worse capacity to manage.
        4. Go back to step one.
