I’m dumber and slower than I was a few years ago my glasses prescription gets worse every year my lungs don’t feel as good at getting air as before even though I don’t smoke and have never smoked, their capacity hasn’t changed, and my maximum outflow volume is fine I get headaches a lot and my brain sometimes gets fuzzy and overfull/too big for my skull I don’t remember things too good anymore I don’t learn things as good or as fast as before I’m impulsive and have started making a lot more snap decisions to get snacks and avoid work decisions and research in favor of checking something on my phone I’m compulsive and check 2-3 times every morning I got into the office whether I just locked the front door, and immediately forget afterwards I keep putting off putting clean laundry away and get scared of playing games or jamming on my pc instead of just being on the couch watching poo poo on yt I keep forgetting all the cheesebrain symptoms that I need to share with my doctor, there’s more than this what’s happening to me

Achmed Jones posted:edited to be accurate for me responding now that i have some energy. for context, i'm turning 32 in a couple months  .adhd is a major part of it, to be fair. i can get more done and be more on the ball if my adderall is in effect. it's been like that for focus since i was 6 years old, but energy is a new one. that, i think, is sheer age. but burnout can contribute to it, too. i think you mentioned a little while back that i should take some days off and you're not wrong, i feel better on days off. i dont know how much of it is because my energy is spent on things that personally matter to me instead of things that matter in the abstract (i.e. xp/resource/gold grinding). im willing to bet thats a large chunk tbqh this: quote:kinda sucks, maybe i should tell a doctor about it. i apparently forgot to take my medicine yesterday and the day before despite my pill container being <2ft from me and having a phone alarm to remind me. i got distracted between turning the alarm off and taking it. i can compensate by making a new rule where i dont turn off my alarm before i take my medicine, but...that seems kinda like a red flag is structure and habit. having to ramp it up is sort of a red flag, in the sense that now its important and urgent to implement. a lot of people pick this up naturally as they grow (maybe not so much for millenials tho). for the rest of us, we'll be """fine""" without it until we're not, and we need to play catchup there is nothing wrong with having that kinda rule because a lot of people do it subconsciously, others like us just need it in writing. i say get that rule going anyway i do the same i have a med planner n poo poo and i keep forgetting to use it and having adderall going on sundays is a key component of that :/!!!!!!!!!! --- frankly i think i just want my limited energy, focus, and time left on earth spent on something other than work. its been like 8 years since i started my tech career and as much as i greatly appreciate it for getting me independent secure and stable...i have not been much else. i regret losing so much time over those past years to the workday->couch->bed pipeline.
