Thank you for the advice. I will try to be careful with my mental health. I do usually socialize with students, friends and family.

>I have ADHD. I suffer from perfectionism. I always imagine crazy shit every day. I masturbate every time I get too anxious. I workout, but get too fucking tired to study at the end of the day. I'm too scared to study something simply because I usually spend 6 fucking hours overthinking it. I get anger and anxiety attacks if I don't do something correctly. And I punish myself constantly for every time I feel pleasure. What the fuck am I even doing in here?

Shit anon, same here. I am starting with a low stress hobbie and it kind of helps

Stop masturbating. Stop having sex. Sexual excess is responsible for dopamine receptor downregulation, hypofrontality, and all this is finished with the prolactin hit which further suppresses dopamine transmission.

get lost, boomer.

Also diagnosed with ADHD here. The perfectionism part for me was tough, missed a lot of assignments due to due dates flying by 'perfectionism paralysis' and depression from poor grades. What helped was just attempting to put something down on the note paper related to the material or check off reading like a duty. Saying to myself 'I know it can be shit quality to be turned in, but it is better than turning in nothing. Or just attempt to be five minutes more fluent in this subject.' Usually pleasantly surprised with the feedback. Or just attempting to try for twenty minutes focused on reading a portion and not being perfect in recall. I have turned studying from 'Here's everything I need to learn! SHIT!' to 'Let's just see how far I'll get today.' Sometimes it is literally just going '20 minutes reading, check. Recalling information, not a damn clue...'

I procrastinated heavily in finding perfect resources or references, now it is 'Turn in a shit draft with enough time for two rounds of edits' usually produces something that the professors give excellent feedback on and gets moving towards the larger educational goal.

I can never read or focus on the literature or textbooks when my brain is on a different task, something else to be completed. Just doing a quick inventory of 'Does this issue need to be tackled immediately or what are the consequences if it isn't done perfectly?' After working in health-care, anything where blood, fire, vomit, stool or a 911 call usually means it can wait for twenty minutes. Hang in there Anon, ADHD sucks when you really desire to learn, but gets in the way. Take it a bit at a time.

Seconded, on the domanine feedback issues of the masturbating. If it is causing you duress best to ween off it, but don't beat yourself if it occurs, it happens.

Dude, calm down. I have ADHD and I don't even act this crazy. You can't always feel down over small problems like being unable to study at the end of the day. If you have to restrict yourself from things that distract you, do so. Just like how you feel anger from doing things wrong, feel happy about the things you do right. Build a flexible schedule and do things slowly. And most importantly, make sure that you're doing the things you love, find something you enjoy in the studies you do. You may be overthinking and wasting time right now that's preventing you from studying, but soon you'll be spending hours studying and havung fun doing so.

Wireless devices.
Vaccines.

stop thinking about negative things when they crop up, and if they keep going stop. repeat this until you stop. I supposedly have ADHD, when i get rutted into bad thoughts or patterns I realize they are "bad". So, I chill tf out, and start again. You gotta retrain your abdolaoblengata for studying, and find something better for your anxiety. Get a stress ball or those grip trainers. Get mad count to 100? i still have issue with that crap, i just try to tweak my ways of dealing with them alittle at a time. wont fix shit if you try to do everything at once, little at a time buddy boi.

My solution has always been dissociation and compartmentalization. I have multiple "bodies", and either I take on parts of these other bodies, or I'll selectively remove parts of my mind from my conscious sphere. I do assume this is an active filtration process, they're still there, but ignored. This is why dissociatives generally have a terrible time after smoking the ganja, the cannabinoid system is vital for this sort of conscious control over the stream of your mind.

Regardless. I won't tell you it's a good solution, but it's what I have done. I definitely get things done and have seen many things, but I'm certainly not alive. It feels that I will never be able to return to my body in full, and I will never feel whole again.

The anxiety used to shut down my mind completely. The reptillian freeze response, inside.

Keep a productivity diary. Write down what useful thing you did each day and what you're aware you need to do. Helps keep the weeks-months timeframe ofbyour life in focus. CGP Grey says this helped him become successful

honestly sounds like a bad approach, especially if you're trying to be creative

>>10731244
No, it definitely helps for creativity of a certain type. Any sort of mental deconstruction and control will. But eventually yes, you begin to lack a certain dynamicism, and lose connection with your subconscious. That's the ground state.

>>10731266
Ah but isn't it a kind of expected deconstruction? Like it would make sense if you deconstruct things in arbitrary ways and perhaps deconstruction might make you more creative in the sense of doing things differently than others until it runs out.
