I…with AuDHD I really don’t know if my experiences apply to this discussion but I wanna chime in anyway.
Since I was a kid other people had an issue with me for being “too serious” about everything I do, talk, and think about each day, and I had never been able to understand how someone can think about or do something without devoting their brain’s energy to it.
Boredom is a suffering torture to me for if I cannot run my mind on something it slowly slogs and shuts down in a very “painful” manner as I drift off despite pushing my willpower to return whatever I am supposed to focus about but find intellectually unstimulating.
Ironically, an intellectually stimulating day is much less exhausting than one that is full of nothing to work on or think about.
Before getting ADHD meds my days ends with a terrible exhaustion that doesn’t completely heal after sleeping, and with meds I feel my daily exhaustion reduced dramatically, to the point even some of the days which I forgot my meds I can “push through” because I don’t have residue exhaustion from the previous day.
