How do you guys manage extreme boredom at work?
I struggle so badly at work, like I’m only ever using 10% (or less) of my brain for the job and the rest of my mind is doing something different, like thinking about the history of the London Underground, playing chess, or thinking about stories I want to write.
These thoughts are so intense that I find myself sometimes wanting to like take a seizure so I can go home and engage with them.
I also find I keep making sloppy mistakes because I’m so inattentive to what I’m doing.
This is all starting to feel pretty unbearable. Has anyone else had these issues and what has helped you? I have asked my doctor to consider medication and I’m really hopeful that will help because I’m getting desperate at this point.
My other concern is, I’m not sure what is autism and what is ADHD of my symptoms, since I am suspected of both.
Thanks for your help guys!
