Hi! So I haven't really been officially diagnosed yet but I highly suspect that I have dominantly inattentive-ADHD. I'm just currently collecting my experiences since childhood to teen years that I could think of so that when I finally go to a psychiatrist for a diagnosis, I could discuss them properly with the doc.

These particular experience are mostly only about consuming media though pansin ko it manifests din in other areas of my life like starting a project etc. I have always had that tendency kasi to not start anything because of the stated reason below. Kaya I've only ever got to watch movies, series or etc. when somebody else drags me along hahaha

Anyways! My intro was so long enough hahaha I'm just wondering if you guys had experiences like these din! I'm mostly looking for validation, I ain't gonna lie 🤣. So have you guys also:

• Needed to be in a certain mood to start a book, or a show, etc. because you know that it will need your full attention and time so that you will understand what's happening.
• While you wait for that certain mood to come for you to start anything, you tend to procrastinate. Up until you don't even follow through with it at all. Which then you feel ashamed because you told someone you will do that thing and talk about it to them. You end up avoiding the person because of the shame. (Napaka specific but that happens to me a lot kasi huhu)
• If the media catches your attention, you hyperfixate on it for a while. You won't be able to stop thinking about that media and what you experienced from consuming it. The hyperfixation would last from months up to a couple of years pa. Depends on how fixated you were.

Yan palang naman siguro.

I enjoy these activities naman. however, I always delay and procrastinate on it because I need to be in that mood. I'm thinking about all of the time kasi that it will take for me to finish something when I could be doing something else. Also, if I try minsan, madali ako madistract and di ko nanaman matatapos hahaha lalo na pag series to.

I find reading a lot easier pero it's mostly fanfiction and manga/comics hahaha! Though often I wouldn't realize the time because I'm so focused on reading and would forget to eat, sleep, and do anything else other than that hahahaha

This got too long, sorry! But let me know what you think and let's discuss! I've always had this problem kasi and wonder if it's ever linked to anything. You can be real with me if it's not 😄 Thank you for taking the time to read!!
