I am posting this from Lemmy World. Discuss Online is causing Jerboa to crash when I open it. Opening to a different instance resolves the issue.

I got my ADD diagnosis today (no "h" as I don't meet the criteria for hyperactivity). It felt validating to hear a doctor say what I've felt for a while now.

Hi all, I was wondering who here's tried meditation - have you?

If so, did it help? What kind of meditation did you do? How long till you noticed the benefit (if any)?

If not, had you heard of it being used as a behavioural intervention? Would you try it?

I'd tried it before (before I realised I (probably) have ADHD), but didn't stick with it long enough for the results to show. I mean to start it again, but... well, you know the rest.

I have these really low points where I cannot do anything, no matter how hard I try. For example, I have a bunch of notifications on Lemmy that I've not responded to. No reason other than that I cannot do it.

For things like mod reports, I act quickly. But the other stuff has been difficult for a couple of days.

What do you do to get motivated or get that drive back? "Just do it" doesn't work for me.

If I need to concentrate, I must have music or a conversation in the background on TV or something. Does anyone else need something else pulling for their attention when they're concentrating? My mind will quickly wonder if I don't have music.

I may be moving on to the TOVA, which would sort out my symptoms and distinguish what is or is not ASD. People have told me for a long time that I may be on the spectrum somewhere but I didn't have any documentation proving so. Now I am 27 and finally deciding to get assessed to possibly explain why I have made the life decisions that I have made. I know that I have depression and anxiety, but this test may also separate symptoms from that for a more accurate diagnosis.

I've recently told my boss I've been struggling and need extra help. I told him I was hiding it to avoid negatively impacting my career. He told me it was not a problem and suggested I take a week off work to refresh myself. I was shocked. My company is super helpful and is helping me with resources. I was shocked... I am shocked.

Have you told your work?

Well, I just joined Lemmy and found this community. I clicked Neurodivergent and found out I'm Neurodivergent. I had no idea that Dyslexia, social anxiety, trouble with math, and spelling were all part of it. I mean, I always knew I see the world in a different way than most, and I feel special because of that. So hello! and I'm glad I found this community.

Hey all,

I’m going to change the frequency of the question bot from daily to weekly. It seems to get a few upvotes every so often, but very little engagement. My hope with having it at all was to create an “ice breaker” type post to get others to feel open enough to engage in the community. Let me know your thoughts though if you would rather it be even less often or not at all.

I'm considering doing online therapy; however, I've never done therapy before.

Would you recommend in-person only, or is online okay? My instance offers some online resources called Teledoc.

I hear it cannot be easy to find someone you like and trust. It seems like the pool of people online is a lot greater than local to me.
