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 agree with the others to have a bunch of hobbies to pick from. For the record I have been on stims daily, but now I use a non-stim with an occasional boost from a mild stim.

    • I like gaming because there is always a new game to try.
    • I like sewing because I often need to repair something and occasionally I think of something that I can’t buy in a store.
    • I like gardening because I like cooking, and it’s fun to have fresh ingredients that I grew myself.
    • Some people like learning an instrument because there are always new songs and styles to try

    Ultimately, what my ADHD brain craves is novelty, and I can only really get that from a variety in my activities.
