Both?
Both.
Nah. Society 💯%
My dopamine-defficient corners of the brain would like to have a word with you. And everyone else reading this. Oh look, a butterfly! I’m tired. Like a tire. Weeeh! dozes off 😴
Tyre is also a city in Lebanon.
Edit: sometimes I have dreams that my tyres are worn & I get a pleasant surprise when I see that they aren’t.
Our society definitely doesn’t help, but I am about as free of the bs our society does as you can get and I still fucking hate how often I just forget that I wanted to do something or lose something forever… I can only blame society so much for the fact that I lose literally everything I care about the moment I don’t need it for 0.0005 seconds (I set it down and it disappeared in that time)
Agreed, but society is more fucked up
Don’t challenge the one thing I excel at! procrastinates very important things even harder
Unmedicated ADHD has worse outcomes for a bunch of things like relationships, risky behavior (e.g. addictive behaviors), and tasks that require sustained concentration (e.g. driving). It is more often comorbid with other issues than not like anxiety and depression.
Personally, I’ve lost my ability to do many things I enjoyed after changing to non stimulant meds when getting them was nigh impossible (plus other side effects were starting to make them not worth it). Tango because it’s exhausting to have to pay attention to the flow of dance, plan what I’m going to lead, and execute it in sync to the music. Scuba because underwater is not where you want to run out of executive function no matter what kind of society I’m in. I almost lost my martial art because I didn’t have enough executive function left to practice safely about 2/3 of the way through class (luckily, I do adequately on my current meds). I’ve made absolutely idiotic relationship decisions when I was on stimulants but it was past the time of day when they wore off. It can be difficult to get started even on things I enjoy. Etc etc.
There’s no society that fixes me. I do ok in this one because of the coping behaviors, systems, and medications. But I would press the button that got rid of my ADHD without hesitation.
I like the nomadic/sedentary comparison of ADHD/normie. When things are steady and unchanging, and planning is usefull, then ADHD sucks. When things are chaotic and unpredictable, ADHD is a superpower (and medication hinders it).
My ED goes away when I need to react to a problem. Not sure how this extends to other people though… I’m good at problem solving, so I don’t get anxiety in front of the unknown.
Goodness, I’m so sorry to hear how heavy your ED is. ED is the worst.
Tango because it’s exhausting to have to … execute it in sync to the music.
This is interesting – for me music is great for my ADHD because moving to beat harmonizes my otherwise completely discooridmated body. I can feel how movjng to a rythm extinguishes the restless inside me.
We are broken because society is broken.
1000s of years from now, whatever proceeds us will be judging us for our microplastics use, just as we judge the Romans for their lead use.
Now thats a good philosorapter.👏
Yes
There’s still reasons to take medication and treatment of ADHD. Even though society is built to just make people on the top money and grind you down doesn’t change that fact.
The existence of one doesn’t disprove the other
Well duh. Ofcourse other people are the issue and not me.

An animal just needs to survive. Would you have been able to survive in nature with your condition, but not in society? Then it’s society’s fault.
Society is our natural condition though. The problem is that our societies are diverse and at war with each other, so it’s becoming overwhelmingly hard to tell which ones are ergonomic, and which ones are exploitative. Doesn’t help that the most ergonomic and non-exploitative societies around also feature significantly reduced individual consumption rates and lack of private property rights. Here in the west we are morbidly addicted to both.
Are you alive in this society with your condition? Yes…well then it’s not a problem. /s
You’d most likely be miserable without it too, just physically instead of mentally. It wouldn’t be easier, it would just be different problems.
The type of society that would have to exist for me not to have severe anxiety and depression has never existed…
