Aphantasia and ADHD
Hey all, first time posting here
TLDR; If you have both aphantasia and adhd what hobbies do you have that leave you satisfied/de-stressed?
I wanted to see where other people were at that have both aphantasia and adhd. I had a rough therapy session today and I'm wondering if me having that wombo combo is making it extremely difficult for me to enjoy life entirely.
I have the adhd where I don't hyperfocus on nearly anything unless it's a rare moment when I'm locked in. I used to like drawing while watching YouTube, it was a good mixture of hands moving and brain stimulated.
For a long long long time now I realized that I don't enjoy drawing like I used to. I can't create new ideas to draw/paint, I can just copy. I have decent technical skill but any hobby I have feels incomplete because I can only go part of the way there.
I love scrapbooking (or rather, I really want to) but it's super difficult for me because I can't imagine what I want on a page and throwing stuff together doesn't seem to help me get the ideas flowing.
I've tried to learn how to code but I seem to have trouble using what I learn to make new things (or apply code to a different situation) - still gonna try learning here and there though.
Overall, I feel like I have the desire to do a lot of these hobbies but it falls flat when I need to design/make up an idea, despite having enough technical skill to be proud in the result.
Does anyone else feel this way? Did they find alternative hobbies?
