live your life to its fullest is overrated, cringe and government propaganda.

[–] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't think it is, as long as you are the one deciding what "fullest" is.

It could even be spending the most amount of time possible with family and friends, or the most amount of time learning LOTR lore.

good point, i think i agree. i was half joking anyway, but on the other hand it's also good to introspect from time to time to understand where my idea of "fullest" came from.

Lol literally me until a year and a half ago when my boyfriend told me he thinks I have ADHD.

Now I'm more like "tomorrow I will do my best and when it fails, I'll try again". It doesn't really fix anything at all, but at least it has given me a tiny bit more peace of mind to finally accept that I don't actually fail on purpose.

Yep. I wasn’t diagnosed until I was like 35.

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Wrong! I was only 27 when I got diagnosed 💪💪

[–] zenforyen@feddit.org 3 points 4 weeks ago

Haha, about the same. Now 32 and feel like I'm the best I've ever been since diagnosis and medication 💪

Yeah, and what's difficult is that real improvement is possible, but you get stuck in this rut where you view attempts to improve yourself as pointless.

Only 30? I'm still waiting at 42...

but ADHD meds don't work on me

[–] astropenguin5@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

How many have you tried? Also it never fixes everything, like for me it mostly just helps with maintaining focus on things, but executive function is still fucked.

[–] TheSambassador@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

Are there drugs for executive function? Asking for a friend.

[–] okamiueru@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I also have a friend who is wondering the same.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

I wonder if we all have the same friend, because mine was just asking about it as well.

Nah, before I was diagnosed I was basically a zombie raising from the dead each morning through sheer willpower.

[–] Boppel@feddit.org 2 points 4 weeks ago

37 just diagnosed. Knew it all the time.
