A little side note: I struggled a LOT with procrastination in my 20s. I was convinced I had ADHD because I would waste hours on useless bullshit online instead of working.

Then I started working on something I actually enjoyed and realized that my ADHD was just me avoiding work I hated. I can go hours without taking a break now, so much so that it’s become a health problem.

I suspect many such self-diagnosed cases of ADHD are just people stuck doing work that’s not for them.

(Doesn’t apply to clinically diagnosed ADHD cases of course)
