Executive dysfunction is a such a struggle for me and often leads to boredom. There are so many things I want to do during my downtime, but I have such a hard time getting myself to do any of it even if I know it's enjoyable. I really enjoyed your insight on trying not to put a strict timeline on things and the pressure that "productivity" norms can create! As always, glad to hear your point of view :)
This is one of the reasons ADHD is highly related to addiction. Ive often listened to ppl talk about things like tv series or food or some holiday and it almost seems to transcend them, like it gave them such meaning to go on, to enjoy life, but for me its meh. Ive had this since I was a teen, call it depression I guess, but a sense of emptiness and numbness to most things, particularly things neuroptypical ppl enjoy which often tend to be of a simplistic nature.

Great video!

I definitely feel all of this right now. I’m fearing that I’m doomed to a life of boredom.
