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?
Trading anecdotes, as someone who has terrible-quality sleep due to being severely overweight, I can be out like a light, midday, once I stop actively doing something. Having your mind engaged can absolutely help you power through low-levels of tiredness.
