I love Indoor climbing

My gym has a few crack features, crack climbing is a niche within a niche. It is very different from face ('regular') rock climbing. It sucks yoyr energy out like typhoon would hit something with a lot of force. Feels like wrestling or mountain climbing (as opposed to rock climbing).

It's super fun though, its just very humbling for a face climber or a boulderer like myself.

I would say most indoor climbers to not do crack. Crack is for outdoors people and then a lot outdoors people probably avoid crack as well.

Me? When I do have a belay partner im jamming my hands in that crack and not even finishing, it feels grueling its very satisfying.

In school maybe but no. I did feel tired basically all day long.

It did seem that the lecturing and teaching put me to sleep quite often.

I do find without enough stimulation I am tired, unfocused, and unable to think sharply.

With too much stimulation I am overwhelmed and become exhausted shortly after an exposure duration-it makes me feel a bit like I've got blinders on or I am ultra focused / aroused / stressed for a brief time and then collapse and cant think until I get a moment ( several hours) away from everyone and zone out

Ha well better late than never I suppose.

Have you observed any improvements? You have had some treatment or currently undergoing some?

I think the 2 things I currently identify with the biggest are: Autism- 'bottom up thinking' (i think is what its called) Wherein I tend to converse and think from specific 'this is a woman drinking a coca cola in swimwear on a hot day' as opposed to 'this is an advertisement for coca cola, they are using the heat and the attractiveness of the woman to make an appeal' if shown an advert for coke.

ADHD- Not.being able to perform tasks unless there is an immediate consequence

Both (maybe) Stimulation must be present at the right amount. Too much (a night club) and I start using a lot of energy, im stressed, im less social, I think less clearly, and I fatigue entirely soon after. Often becoming quite irritable and oddly mad at everyone for not being interesting or cool or lacking depth or something illogical.

Hope its working out for you

Good to know that is classified as a disability.

Feels so ironic how they is so much more talk : news, tik tok, documentaries, etc, about missed and late diagnoses of this sort and yet here I am.

Who'd 'a 'thunk I would be in almost the exact situation so many people having been raising awareness about.for so long. Not I. Hehe. Kudos to those people as much as I have felt as though therr are some people who misrepresent conditions or overtrivialize, or something, seems I have been part of the problem maybe.

I know I likely will and or can benefit from medication but I am also unsure and wary.

I was prescribed some SSRI and felt relatively horrific side effects and choose to quit before 72 hours were up..amd SSRIs are supposedly meant to be noticed after months of taking them I believe.

Having nightmares about work. -maybe i dont habe so much nightmares but waking loops of memories of all.slrts of things I did that I wish I hadn't. Worst was when there was woman (coworker) whom flirted with me in and out of work amd drove my reward systems insane so that it was like I was on drugs amd then having withdrawals--led me to do all sorts of regrettable things. I believe I was like a pet entertainment for her. I dont think her flirts were genuine but rather she enjoyed seeing me aroused/blushed maybe knowing there would never be any true reciprocity

Thanks

I suspect I have ADHD (maybe inattentive).

Never have suspected this to be true until a few months ago - I am 31 years old.

Sadly, I used to think about people who said they have ADHD were making excuses for their poor behavior or work performance. (Sorry I guess)

'Everyone has a little bit of ADHD' 'We are all a little autistic'

How do you folks deal with statements such as these? And is it possible the people saying this are undiagnosed amd projecting (like I think I was)?

Recently when someone says that I simple say 'No, (disorder x, y, z) is a (category i.e. developmental) disorder meaning the person's CNS or psyche has developed incorrectly'

Which simply yields more arguing. . .

My next question---

Background - I have struggled my whole life with life. My apartment is constantly messy save a few weeks out of the year, my insurance goes un updated and I drive illegally, I do not speak to people for days on end (family included), deadlines are almost never met, the phrase 'anything without immediate and serous consequence, is invisible and impossible to do' is very accurate to my entire life.

I have been searching for 31 years (more or less) for explanations as to why I am so much more dysfunctional than my peers

Question: Is ADHD/ADD really this debilitating, or must it be a combination of things?

Because if this ultimately explains most if not all of my difficulties, why isnt this treated as a severe disability? Because I am barely capable of doing anything if there.

Are no immediate consequence - and for many adult things- there are not.

Additional ramble- I initiated an assessment with a psychologist outside of my insurance coverage as it has been too difficult for me to navigate the system so I am paying out of pocket. I initially asked for an autism/ADHD assessment/ but after doing more learning I see autism as less likely in my case although perhaps I dont know.

I am so frustrated that at 31 years old and multiple encounters with psychologist, psychiatrists and other MDs none have ever even hinted at ADHD the most I've gotten is--mild and or moderate depression, general anxiety/social anxiety
