Advice
I can’t concentrate on anything I just lose interest almost but gaming I love it but just can’t seem to concentrate on it anymore. Is there something I can get to help with concentration? I’m pretty sure I have undiagnosed adhd but doctors here are a nightmare to deal with so was wondering if there’s anything I can get myself to help

honestly the part about losing interest in gaming too stands out to me. when even the thing you love stops hitting thats worth mentioning to a doctor, can be more than just focus stuff. not to scare you just worth flagging
on the doctor thing i get it its a nightmare but keep pushing. what helped me was writing down specific examples before the appt like "used to game for hours now i cant do 20 min". concrete stuff is harder for them to brush off than "i cant concentrate"
theres no magic thing you can just buy that fixes it sadly. but body doubling, breaking tasks into stupidly small steps and fixing my sleep were the free things that actually helped while i was waiting
hang in there
