that seems very common. it’s the ability to let go of the stress that builds up to the finish. it’s not gonna be some cartoon joy thing. it’s oh whoa. that was nuts. there’s gonna be like 100 different ways to feel and react. ppl are more complex than some diagnostic hyperbole i feel like.

there’s ppl though that are just trying to think carefully and clearly on it all.

@RobinTheBot i think that’s all pretty debatable. ppl are not powerless over behavior as neuroplasticity to some level is achievable. cognitive behavioral therapy is also real. this suggests that it’s severity can vary. this and lots of factors really. no?

@alvodin6197 kinda makes sense here, kinda confusing the distance from their disorders part tho. the word have is odd, i’ve always been incredulous about that too. what does it mean to have. other than to agree with medical traditions that may just remind one of its billion dollar industry.

@TheMrComentarista this seems totally reasonable / agreeable. but diagnosis do end up making ppl feel it’s who and why they are. it’s unhealthy similar to AA. ppl train themselves to think they’re powerless. but at the same time, the characteristics of hdhd aren’t that big a problem in my opinion. the workplace / economic systems are way more to blame. we just feel powerless over systems failing us so it’s easy to eat a pill instead engage w social / economic reform.

@Bolshechemty everyone is a ton of things to some extent yes. therefor it’s all a wash. so nobody is ill therefore. why even engage with psychological diagnosis. truly boggles my mind. it’s all so archaic. it’s just barely around the corner from astrology. systems want to homogenize everything. it’s not healthy. neither are pills. we need community. not diagnosiseses ! psychiatry is mostly divisive. think about it. the binary of neuro this vs neuro everything else. it’s off putting. and mental health professionals keep practicing same 80 yr old ideas.

@andrewstoner2032 interesting parallel. it’s just sad that we have compassion for the elderly (barely) but not for the adhd. it’s curious to ask why this is. i think bc you can actually test for being old. all the medical insights are there in labs and X-ray. with depression and adhd and anxiety, the testing is not reliable. it’s not really pathology. so tons of confirmation bias incredulousness and subjectivity come into play. this is my idea at least. and i’m pretty sure that dopamine release works the same for non adhd brains as well. going off a study i read.

@whitejodeci8926 oh is that really a symptom? i never knew this..

@isetyourfriendsonfire makes sense but why is it such an issue to end up doing a totally different thing? enough to take a really strong med…? i mean there’s so many ways to do things. there’s no wrong way i figure. it sounds naïve maybe at first but i’m being very earnest. i’m that way too it’s gotten bad too for certain but the notions of what bad is are from external constructed systems.

@estellajayne that is insightful for sure. i think that can happen.. is maybe a projection. but also it could be said that the attributes feels so common since we’re often all reacting to the same systems- they are the culprit really. the systems fail most ppl, ya, kno? sounds goofy but think on it. i do, quite a lot. take away some of the systems away and the symptoms of adhd don’t matter anymore. the expectation and stress would be gone so it’s just relative to that i figure.

@indiajohnson4149 forever? do you have a say on how your brain works. i mean we must have some say over things regarding behavior. even if it’s developmentally related.

@indiajohnson4149 everything?

why is this about adhd. this seems like anyone’s experience esp. if technology is involved.
