Just a quick life update for y'all. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD. It fit in so many ways that I don't know why it wasn't found earlier. I had trouble focusing on one activity, so I'd browse something like GAF all day instead of buckling down and doing something productive. I'd have trouble focusing when people talk to me for any reasonable amount of time -- like, people going, "Hello? Did you hear me?" wasn't unheard of all my life. My brain just wandered after a while, completely unintentionally. And I always put off things that require extended concentration because they physically exhausted me. Like, I'd read for a bit, or come home from school, and I'd need to take a multi-hour "nap" just to recharge.
But now that I'm on a new medication pretty much all of that is gone. I can focus on things, and it's honestly a pretty crazy experience. I almost need to develop new skills to cope with it, haha. Like, I started playing Castlevania: Lords of Shadow a few days ago. Typically, I play a game for an hour or so and my mind just doesn't want to focus on it much longer. It's why games based around short sessions, like Hearthstone, appealed to me so much. But now I can play a game or read for hours straight -- and this caused me to play LoS for literally over a dozen hours straight. I never thought I could have that much focus.
On an unrelated note, some may remember that I have a lesbian friend who wants me to be her best man. I was originally planned to be drive her to Winnipeg when she proposes in a couple of weeks at the airport, but now she is going to rent a car instead because they'll be staying in Winnipeg. This is great for them, but NGL, I was super looking forward to seeing such an amazing moment. Oh well!
