I have ADHD if it doesn't challenge me I'm not interested in doing it. I would just like to see some fruits for my labor at some point I'm tired of being challenged and not rewarded

I feel like someone with ADHD would kill to be tired instead of energized for once. No?

As a ADHD person, it feels so fucking unfair that the only thing you can do, is thinking about thoughts if you got nothing to do and that's building up mental stamina and therefore making your brain work to 120% And that makes me angry due to the fact that i can't stop my brain from wrking sometimes

This is not adhd, nobody can stop thinking. I dont have adhd, i too have this.

Your brain can also not work above like 5% simultaneously, or you literally die.

But i get the frustration nonetheless. The trick is to try and focus on sonething else, like breathing, this is why mindfullness exist.

Though i do see people with adhd struggle to "focus" on "something else" so I guess the point still stands.
