Dear fellow forum-goers,
Once again, my quest for knowledge and similarities brings me here. :/
Do you actually "care" about "things" or do you just do them like a robot because it "seems like the right thing to do"? (if you really have no choice of course)
I suppose one would say depression is a good cause of apathy and avolition, or is it ADHD or is it both? It's mostly cross-linked it seems although some people are more immune to depression than others.

I am definitely roboting a lot - sometimes the thought of having to do the same things every day is just beyond depressing. I often run to and from work because I find having to walk the same route every day is so excruciatingly dull. I also have a daily struggle of not wanting to go into the same coffee shop every day (only two en route) which has to be balanced with my caffeine cravings for a lovely, aromatic, steaming hot cup of Americano.

Thanks for replies but could do with some more....... I worked 13 years in a petrol station and for some reason I knew that when I left, it would just become a distant memory and I probably would not miss it at all......I was right. I hate feeling like that. It just feels like nothing really sticks properly in my mind. Is that AD/HD or just general depression blah blah? I say to my cousin that we are sort of buffered against long term effects of negative things, but in the short term - ie the MOMENT- the world/universe/multiverse is against us. (thinks to himself - hmm why don't I get many replies on this website run for adult AD/HD people?)

Cough splutter choke hack faint wide-eyes smile of shock.... Let me just read that again....... "Andy, are you writing a book or completing a dissertation?" Mouse, I am shocked to my core that you think I am even capable of such things. A book? what 400 pages? impossible A dissertation arent they like a couple of hundred pages sometimes? I have no capability to do anything of the sort, I can assure you of that. I do understand why you ask though. I have asked many questions. I am really nothing more than an info gatherer to satisfy my brain I suppose? I just suppose I am curious, especially as I am still planning for an adult ADHD referral and am concerned that I may not achieve it as I will need out of area funding etc. (curious about adhd and my similarities to it.) I did not even go to college as I knew I would not manage.... or even particularly care, to be honest. so lol, have no qualms about it, I would be quite useless at book writing/dissertations/projects etc etc. (still sweating from the shock of book writing/dissertation question)
