I have a problem that every time i want to start new hobby, i cant work on it for long enough time to develop it into a habit. I quit the hobby i started even less than one month after starting it, even if i am excited and interested in working on it for a long time.

Since i dont know if i really have an adhd, because psychitriastists i went to say that i dont have adhd, despite i have common symptoms like lack of motivation, problems with learning and work, and problem with working on hobbies for a long time, i need to somehow find a way to work on a single hobby for a long time, without meds.

    I have learned to embrace it. My hobbies and motivation come in waves. When I am excited about something I do as much as I can and stop feeling guilty about not persuing other hobbies at the moment - I know their time will come.

    I am diagnosed if that’s important.

      +1, embrace it!

      Be conscious of it too (so be wary of starting, for example, a really expensive hobby), but I think the important part is not feeling any shame for a wave of passion.
