Obscure Symptoms you didn't know were ADHD ft. Dr.Micaela

Huge mistake.

HealthyGamerGG
Obscure Symptoms you didn't know were ADHD ft. Dr.Micaela

Don't start with the things that are important.

HealthyGamerGG
Obscure Symptoms you didn't know were ADHD ft. Dr.Micaela

Start with the things that are unimportant.

HealthyGamerGG
Obscure Symptoms you didn't know were ADHD ft. Dr.Micaela

Because if something is important, it's going to trigger your emotional circuitry.

HealthyGamerGG
Obscure Symptoms you didn't know were ADHD ft. Dr.Micaela

The moment that you trigger your emotional circuitry, remember we have an emotional dysregulation problem with ADHD.

HealthyGamerGG
Obscure Symptoms you didn't know were ADHD ft. Dr.Micaela

So those emotions are going to hit you harder, they're going to hit you faster, and they're going to hit you for longer.

HealthyGamerGG
Obscure Symptoms you didn't know were ADHD ft. Dr.Micaela

You're actually making things hard for yourself.

HealthyGamerGG
Obscure Symptoms you didn't know were ADHD ft. Dr.Micaela

If I'm a level 1 character and I start aggroing level 90 mobs and I keep wiping over and over and over again, I'm not actually leveling up.

HealthyGamerGG
Obscure Symptoms you didn't know were ADHD ft. Dr.Micaela

So start with tasks that are unimportant and focus on doing it just to train yourself to get into the habit of doing things without it being important.

HealthyGamerGG
Obscure Symptoms you didn't know were ADHD ft. Dr.Micaela

Great place to start.

HealthyGamerGG
Obscure Symptoms you didn't know were ADHD ft. Dr.Micaela

Right?

HealthyGamerGG
Obscure Symptoms you didn't know were ADHD ft. Dr.Micaela

Yeah.

HealthyGamerGG
Obscure Symptoms you didn't know were ADHD ft. Dr.Micaela

So people are saying that's my life in a nutshell.

HealthyGamerGG
Obscure Symptoms you didn't know were ADHD ft. Dr.Micaela

Wiping against level 90 mobs and thinking we're leveling up doesn't work like that.

HealthyGamerGG
Obscure Symptoms you didn't know were ADHD ft. Dr.Micaela

But that's what our media shows us, right?

HealthyGamerGG
Obscure Symptoms you didn't know were ADHD ft. Dr.Micaela

Like, oh, I'm the, you know, there's, oh, actually, sometimes there's lots of training montages.

HealthyGamerGG
Obscure Symptoms you didn't know were ADHD ft. Dr.Micaela

But anyway.

HealthyGamerGG
Obscure Symptoms you didn't know were ADHD ft. Dr.Micaela

Let's do questions, and then we got a couple of other things that we can do.

HealthyGamerGG
Obscure Symptoms you didn't know were ADHD ft. Dr.Micaela

And while we're doing questions, so I'm going to do something apparently funsies.

HealthyGamerGG
Obscure Symptoms you didn't know were ADHD ft. Dr.Micaela

Okay, guys, give me a second.
