      Have you ever been tested for ADHD? I don’t want to go around diagnosing people but this kind of executive dysfunction is central to it

      Do you sometimes agonize on and off for hours over a task that could be done in 30 minutes?

        agnizing over tasks happens often, and at the same time I’m not actually bringing any pleasure to myself by avoiding it.

          I was diagnosed at 44. Meds have changed my life. Also I’m glad that I am not actually a horrible failure of a human, as I was led to believe my entire life.

          I was diagnosed last year. I’m 41. I wondered what the hell was “wrong with me” my entire life. Meds help but this shit sucks.
