  • I picked up an order at a stor for a long time friend the other day. They needed his last name. Luckily I was able to reach him via text.

  • Wow. Thank you for sharing. What a thoughtful response!

    If I ever feel the urge to write down all my hobbies and projects and rabbit hole topics I will. But currently that sounds like an absolute chore.

    I replaced gaming with painting and building miniatures for TTRPGs. TTRPGs are my other life long hobby. I hope it stays. It's nice because I get to share the results to people without it being about me. They are just game pieces and people like them.

    Gaming just stopped feeling rewarding one day. It felt pointless.

    And yes. Once I know all the steps I have to take to the end I often lose interest. Figuring out the way often is most of the fun. Actually walking the way isn't always why I got interested. I think. It's really hard to grasp.

    Sometimes I really hate the lack of control over my life.

    But then it leads me to so many interesting places regularly. I just hope it never picks up something too destructive.

  • I can relate so much. My whole life has been dominated by hyper fixations.

    I can't control them almost at all. Fighting them makes me depressed. If something remotely positive comes up I'll jump in. It's better than some of the more problematic ones.

    Some last a few weeks, some lasted as long as 2 to 3 years. And everything in between. I have one hobby that lasted almost my whole life since childhood but a few years ago was replaced. Video games. Just don't interested anymore in my mid 30s from one day to the next. Been gaming since I'm 8. Some fixations come and leave.

    What helped me.

    • I stopped giving myself shit for quitting. Without the guilt I also found it easier to return to something.
    • endulge the positive and social ones. Like my chess one was fun, to play at local trounaments and such.
    • I got better but not by much at not overspending on every fixation. It's still a bit much but the trend is positive.
    • I realized I have a ridiculous amount of superficial knowledge and okay skills at various topics and activities. People initially believe in bulshitting but I can back it up so that kinda cool.
    • I try to enjoy the time in between rabbit holes now. It's tough, I used to feel aimless and sad and out of balance. But these days I try to embrace the calm before the storm.

    Time between fixations is usually only a week or so max. All other time of my life is spend in hyper fixated mode. It is a bit tiring and it does control my life quite a bit. Makes life harder.

    I don't know how to close the chapter. Usually interest in the topic just is gone from 100 to 0 over night without warning.

    Dungeons and Dragons @lemmy.world

    I gave away my DnD books to strangers.

    Earlier today I was browsing through shelves at a toy store to look for a last gift for one of my daughters. That's when I hear an excited voice ask one of the store employees 'do you have dungeons and dragons?'. I listen in and learn that they do not have any DnD material at all and also can't order it. I walk a bit closer and see 3 12 year old ish boys and a girl with disappointed faces. The employee also can't help them where to find dungeons and dragons products.

    Now I live in Germany where you can't find dnd boxes at the likes of Target like in the US for example. In fact I know of 2 stores in the whole city which carry DnD books and material.

    I step in and ask if I may help out with the question. I tell them that there are 2 stores which carry the books, dice and more on the other side of the city. They said that's far away but they'll try to go there in Saturday.

    We get talking and they tell me about how they are looking to start a dnd club at school and also play at home.

    Anger issues? 💢

    Hey. I was told having issues controlling anger or emotions in general can be related to ADHD. I know I get WAY angrier than anyone should ever be sometimes.

    Especially when injustice and ignorance come my way. I get furious beyond anything I've ever seen or heard of anyone else talk about. Maybe aside from depictions of killers or berserkers in fiction. It's not cool.

    Only a few times have I gotten in trouble for it luckily and I never actually done anything more than shout the most disgusting insults at someone.

    Now I do feel bad afterwards if I got angry at someone I like. But often enough I feel they fucking deserved it. If someone is an ignorant asshole willingly ruining someone's day, week or life they deserve some ruin thrown back at them. I know this might not be a good and healthy thing to think. But if someone provokes someone don't they ask to be yelled at?

    I know they do this to 'win the argument' because of that imo idiotic notion that who yells first is wrong. But h

    How do you all like the Dorfromatik board game?

    Hey everyone.

    I got the steam game on a sale some time ago. Now my wife is playing it a lot more than me through family share. Her birthday is coming up and I'm thinking about getting the game for her as it also won Spiel des Jahres this year.

    Have any of you played the game? I'd be happy to hear any experiences you want to share.

    Results are in of my long ADHD diagnosis process and it is a resounding: Maybe

    I'm posting because I'm a bit bummed out I guess. I began the whole diagnosis process because I wanted clarity of wtf is going on with me. A clear no it's not ADHD would maybe even have been a more satisfying answer than this.

    Apparently I either have ADHD and my high intelligence allows me to compensate so much it masks symptoms for the tests. They did two intelligence tests which came out way above average it seems. I hope this doesn't come off as bragging. It really isn't as much of a gift as it may seem.

    Or I don't have ADHD but my cognitive function shows some similarities. And I'm also super smart. But somehow I can't put it to use when it comes to my life due to issues with emotional regulation and tolerance for frustration which I don't have much off.

    How this affects my life is I can't focus or do things I don't find interesting at all. Same with things that don't offer anything new to me. Being intelligent means I understand and figure out new things super quickly. But
