I will still talk the ears off an iron monkey given the chance
I will still get hyper focused on occasion but less often. I also get moments of less hyper focus but still like 'in the zone'. Basically hyper focus but I remember to breathe and drink water consistently.
I still have my rotating rogues gallery of hobbies though it cycles a lot slower now which is really nice.
YouTube Shorts is still like crack for my brain still so I have to block it on my browsers and use an alternative app for YouTube (grayjay) on my phone if I don't want to blow an entire day. I also won't touch tiktok with a 10 ft pole as I know it will be just as bad if not worse than YouTube Shorts for me.
Thanks for sharing!
Would you agree that the entry could be like:
"000002": { "diagnosis": "ADHD", "treatment": [""], "age": "", "years_in_treatment": "", "remaining_symptoms": [ "excessive talking", "hyperfocus", "rotating interest", "doom scrolling" ], "attention_span": "", "record_date": "31/05/2024" }
? For statistics purpose of course, as stated in the post. Also feel free to (or to do not, is just a little interesting game) fill the rest of the details :)
Let me fill in a couple extra things there:
Age at diagnosis: 29
Diagnosis: ADHD inattentive type
Current age: 31
Treatment: Medication and behavioral practices
Attention span: Improved dramatically with the medication.
thanks a lot for the details! Inserted as 000002 :)
