Yeah, obviously it works best for tasks that don't need to be done, like, catching up with TV series (which I do via torrent) and reading my RSS feeds.
[My diagnosis is actually sort of in limbo right now. I was diagnosed by a psychologist as ADHD-I (and I'm still pretty sure that's it) with comorbid depression and anxiety disorder (mild OCD in my case, and let's be complete while I'm already at it), but another psychologist has recently made a good case for an autism spectrum disorder in combination with - god I fucking hate this label - "intellectual giftedness". Not like that ever did me any good. *grumbles* I've only recently started airing out. There was an article I read, and it had two sentences that I can identify with strongly: "It sucks, but until our existence is widely accepted on Earth, we can either stay in our space-ship closets or spend inordinate amount of time and energy coming out ad nauseam. I deal better with nausea than with small spaces, personally." So I pretty much said "Fuck this! I'm gonna talk about whatever I feel like talking about! Keeping silent about things that make me anxious never got me anything but more anxiousness." Everyone's at their own point of their own trajectory. IMO, there's no saying what's right or wrong for any one person by another person, at least not with true authority.
So anyway I'm seeing an ADHD specialist soon. Hopefully they'll be able to clear this up. :) ]
