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?
While that is true, the easiest way for me to stay awake when I’m sleepy is to do stuff. As soon as I’m idle, I doze off. I was obviously tired the entire time, but the experience is still similar to what OP is describing.
To my knowledge I do not have ADHD, but I am mildly neurodivergent.
