Welcome! You're possibly a self medicating ADHD person.

Otter common signs you should get checked out

  • do you sit there paralyzed and unable to do a task, even when you want to do it and know it needs to get done?

  • are you weirdly calm and effective in stressful and panicked situations?

  • do you get really into a hobby for a while, then drop it forever because you lose all interest?

If so, a diagnosis could be life altering.

the hobby thing really gets on your nerves after 3-4 times of spending a shitton of money into every single one

Yeah but if one of my friends wants to take up leatherworking, guitar, beer brewing, 3d printing, miniature painting, drone photography, Super Nintendo, bass, embroidery, scuba diving, or stiltwalking I have some gear and between 3 weeks and 6 months of knowledge to get them started. Oh, also, does anyone have a good source for parts on old gi joe toys?
