I have issues concentrating on anything I do. My mind is in 100 places at once. I’m always overthinking and procrastinating. It’s gotten really bad and is affecting all aspects of my life and work. Any advice from someone that’s been through something similar? TIA!

Not saying this is the cause, but there’s a bowl called ADHD professionals that might be a big help tbh

Thank you - joined

Even if you have ADD or ADHD, most people develop coping mechanisms by adulthood. You have prescription options but you can also work with a professional on non-medicated solutions if you prefer.

I’d love to do that. I don’t mind getting medication but want that to be an option only once I’ve tried other things. Any suggestions on who to reach out to?

Talk to your doctor about trying Adderall. You might have ADHD.

I have ADHD and I start my day by writing things down I need to accomplish, along with the time frames.

I also brain down on paper all my thoughts, the release helps.

What you eat makes a difference. Balanced meals with protein, complex carbs (sweet potato, broccoli), and healthy fats helps keep blood surges stable.Processed carbs (bread, pasta, flour, etc ) make concentration harder.

Family member saw me working out hard and called me a "retard" for pushing myself being at max speed and "making faces". Seriously? When you push hard, it's supposed to be - hard. No?

I had a hectic last three months working up to 16 hours a day due to my project. During this time I took advantage of convenient food which isn’t always the best. Now that things have died down I am having trouble switching from the less convenient food, snaking more than I should and not being as active as I was during the three months previously. I haven’t found what I need to motivate myself and I’m hoping that others could share what motivates them to get back into it after a hectic time

Total newbie to working out: is it fine to start with a routine of 2 days of upper body, 2 days of legs, and 3 days cardio?

What do you do to automate you lifestyle/remove decision fatigue to reach your health and fitness goals? For example: I meal prep so I know calories and macros of all my meals without having to count each time M-F (unless going out with friends/SO) and I run first thing in the morning the same 4 days every week. I’ve found that making healthy habits a part of my lifestyle and routines makes them easier to stick to and would love any additional ideas!
