I should be studying right now, but everytime I sit to study, I can’t sit there long enough, I want food even though I am not hungry, I want to watch TV/youtube, self-pleasure… etc…

No matter what productive work I want to do, I will try to not do that and do something which gives me momentary pleasure. I want to masturbate, eat lots of food even though I am not hungry while watching TV/Youtube and I don’t seem to be able to break the cycle and it’s destroying me. How can I break the cycle and do something good for a change instead of pleasuring myself in the moment meaninglessly?

    Sounds like you were on the wrong meds. There are lots of ADHD meds. There are also ways to reduce the anxiety they cause. It honestly doesn’t sound like you want to try to fix this, you just want someone to wave a magic wand as if there’s some magic easy fix.

      Yes, I was on the wrong meds.

      I am stating a simple fact: I went and got tested for ADHD and it ended up setting me back, being the wrong move.

      It would be nice if there was a magic wand, yes. I wasn’t thinking about it, and don’t know where you got that from what I said.

        Then try a different medication? It takes a long time and a lot of attempts to find the right one

          This is more a provision of information for OP than it is a request for help with my problems.
