Lord Almighty, I am not lazy.

While yes, it looks like I'm sitting there on my phone, my functional part is screaming at me. Get up. Go do the thing. Do your work. You wanna get fired? Get up. Get the fuck up.... As I click on another meme or post or video.

I understand that this may come across as flippant and possibly condescending, so apologies in advance, but I mean it as a genuine question.

What would it take to break the... inertia?

I imagine you'd move if your chair caught fire, so there must be some line. How low can the bar be set?

No, you don't have ADHD just because you get bored sometimes.

dont like that approach since mental illnesses are typically underdiagnosed rather than overdiagnosed. If someone says they have adhd they do until proven otherwise.

[spacefox@lemmy.ml]

It's undiagnosed because you don't have it. Mental health is an extremely complex thing that only somebody with the right qualifications should comment on.

Honestly, everything about it. Sometimes I feel like I’m talking to rocks or something, when I try to explain that my brain is literally build different, that I just can’t go and focus or being on time or whatever and people just like “you don’t even try” I do try, if I didn’t try like they say I would be dead.
