Anywho with ADHD shuts down when they’re bored?

I used to handle boredom fine, but now it feels like it’s absolutely going downhill. I feel so sleepy the second I’m bored 😭, like almost an irresistible urge to sleep. Stimulation snaps me out of it, but it’s so difficult to do the thing even if it’s something I like, so most of the time I just sleep…

Sucks that I can’t have meds in my country, I only have a SNRI against depression and anxiety. Anywho unmedicated has strategies that most of the time work?

    Not getting enough sleep can cause ADHD like symptoms or make ADHD symptoms worse. It might be worth looking into if your not getting enough quality sleep. Getting consistent quality sleep is a solid unmedicated way to reduce ADHD symptoms.
