Anywho with ADHD shuts down when they’re bored?
I used to handle boredom fine, but now it feels like it’s absolutely going downhill. I feel so sleepy the second I’m bored 😭, like almost an irresistible urge to sleep. Stimulation snaps me out of it, but it’s so difficult to do the thing even if it’s something I like, so most of the time I just sleep…
Sucks that I can’t have meds in my country, I only have a SNRI against depression and anxiety. Anywho unmedicated has strategies that most of the time work?
I know EXACTLY what you mean. I called it vehicular narcolepsy, because long boring drives would trigger it.
Even if I was wide awake, boring tasks just cause me to shut down and I have an irresistible urge to close my eyes until things get more interesting.
