At work it starts with a need and then I want to know as much as possible about it. Need is the beginning of the process. Want is just the natural progression.

can i have some of your adhd?

my adhd only does want, and if there's need without want it's torture to start (dishes)

I guess all I can say is give it time and drugs. I'm taking Qelbree right now and it works for me.

i'm trying out medikinet (ritalin/concentra are similar) and it makes me sleepy. i'll test them out for longer but goodness, i hoped for some energy to do things, not being so relaxed i no longer care about the things

Qelbree is a non stimulant and really the only type I can take. Strattera causes me debilitating side effects.

Oh yeah if somebody else has a need then the want comes naturally. But surely there's days where the need is pressing and the want is out for a stroll on the town?

Less and less as I get older. I got medicated for it and I'm really better at handling, even using ADHD to work for me. I spent a day last weekend redoing a keychain stl for my daughter. Its a show she likes and I spent a good six hours hyperfocused on it and today I'm doing the finishing touches. I would not have been able to do that as quickly ten years ago.
