With so many disorder Tiktoks around I can’t help but fail to spot the difference between having actual ADHD vs just having poor focus habits.

I myself have trouble focusing on tasks but I doubt I actually have ADHD given the recent surge of disorder Tiktoks - tho I do have autism - and that my focus is typically normal on tasks I devote to like gaming.

    I also have a theory that a large number of disorders are exacerbated by the stress and anxiety we all feel.

    I have a mental illness level that is monumentally higher post-COVID than the before times, so this tracks with me.

    Like, i mostly had my add and anxiety whipped thru EOOD and healthier eating habits, kicked booze to the curb.

    Now i feel horrible again, like i used to feel back when i was a teenager. Its so much more than i can handle alone. Med’d up with a drug that makes me feel “off”. Fighting agoraphobia daily.

    Yeah it’s not just my chemistry, not anymore. Maybe it never was. My old eyes see clearly now the world we suffer in is actually horseshit.
