You hit the nail right on the head, completely. Anytime I have a paper to write, a test to study for, or just any general unpleasant task that has to get accomplished I"ll literally look for the stupidest thing to catch my attention so I don't have to work. I'll go have something to eat, get coffee, play a videogame, watch a TV show that I normally find boring and pointless with amazing interest. Its like my mind goes into autopilot, trying to find any insignificant excuse to not have to do work. I think I may also have ADD but haven't been diagnosed.urbn8 said:
Incredible procrastination
Does anyone have an extremely hard time getting anything done? I know I have to do something (usually schoolwork), but i will focus on any minutia that isn't what i have to do. Cigarette, bathroom break, eat, email, another cigarette or even just sit and think about that i don't want to do it. Hours will go by and I will get zero done. I will even start doing work that isn't t what i have to get done. I'm even here when i have less than two hours to write a paper. I have always been a procrastinator, but now that i have dp (i think) i lost the sureness that i used to have. I used to know I had to get things done. Now I'm not really sure of anything.
Can anyone relate?

I dont understand how taking a drug like ritalin, which is chemically similar to cocaine, is any type of long term solution. Doesn't the long term use of any stimulant, in high dosages, cause brain damage? Or perhaps I'm just ignorant but it doesn't seem healthy.
