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.
For me its much easier to work on something when i do it together with someone. For me this is a problem, because i dont have even a single friend, and i dont know any adhd specific ways form a friendship as adult. My parents and psychiatrist just gave me a rough advice, and not the exact steps that i need to follow to form a friendhip.
Difficultly with visualising the steps to complete a process is an ADHD symptom.
Finding it easier to stay on-task with someone else in the room is called ‘body-doubling’ and is an adhd coping strategy.
If your therapist hasn’t sent you for a ~4 hour dedicated assessment, they can’t say you do or do not have adhd.
My therapist was like; “Maybe adhd, but not autism.” I 100% have both.
So get a second opinion.
