ADHD and video games #warzone #callofduty

Sometimes, ADHD feels like a powerful tidal wave crashing through my mind. One moment, I'm focused on my tasks, and the next, my attention is captured by the tiniest detail in my peripheral vision. It's as if an invisible force pulls me toward whatever has caught my eye, overpowering my ability to concentrate on anything else.

Picture this: I'm in the middle of something important, fully immersed, when suddenly, I catch a glimpse of a four-wheeler out of the corner of my eye. It's almost magnetic, an irresistible urge pulling me away from what I'm doing. In that moment, nothing else matters. The excitement of the four-wheeler becomes all-consuming, and I find myself compelled to drop everything and ride it. The thrill and spontaneity of the experience are exhilarating, offering a rush of adrenaline that momentarily drowns out the noise in my mind.

It's not that I don't care about my responsibilities or the tasks at hand. It's just that sometimes, ADHD takes over, and the allure of a new, exciting distraction becomes impossible to ignore. In those moments, I have to embrace the ride and let the adventure unfold, knowing that I'll return to my tasks with a renewed sense of focus once the impulse has passed.
