    Oh wow, it's really that big of a deal? Paying a monthly subscription to appear blue sounds bothersome, I guess I'm lucky no one made a deal out of it when I changed phones

    Like in many of the other comments in here - I rarely play super long games anymore, and I've definitely stopped playing online because it takes too much time to be good at it, while free time is missing nowadays.

    The biggest thing for me though, was buying consoles. A couple of years ago I've stopped playing PC games almost entirely for a long time, because after finishing work and closing my laptop, I didn't want to spend any more time on a computer, it was tiresome. Then, after buying a console, it became fun again, as I could leisurely sit down on a couch, and nothing else was bothering me in the background, or reminding me of work.

    And finally, after getting a Steam Deck, I could play my PC games library again as it's easy to treat it fully as a console too

    Though his channel is a bit on the fun side

    I really liked it, but just like you, I wanted the answers at first. Then I noticed who the main series writer was, and realized that there probably won't be any explanation for the events, so it was time to focus more on the characters, because that's what they're great at. I'm glad about that, the relationships, and character's self-problems in the series were fantastic.
    I should rewatch it

    Yeah, I had to stop taking my meds for a while, but when the anxiousness came back it was way easier to not care about, because I knew exactly where it comes from. All the ADHD hindrances are in my life again, but now I'm able to recognize and handle them mostly.

    Same with me, sometimes I just have to respond to an email with 2 words or something, but I can't make myself do it for hours. Not even forgetting it, just putting the task off.

    But the absolute worst thing about ADHD to me is the constant fear at the back of my head - always feeling like something is not right, I forgot important things etc. It mostly went away when I started taking medication for ADHD, but I had to stop the meds for a while and it came back. Can't even explain how great it was, finally being able to just relax.
