Anywho with ADHD shuts down when they're bored?

I used to handle boredom fine, but now it feels like it's absolutely going downhill. I feel so sleepy the second I'm bored 😭, like almost an irresistible urge to sleep. Stimulation snaps me out of it, but it's so difficult to do the thing even if it's something I like, so most of the time I just sleep…

Sucks that I can't have meds in my country, I only have a SNRI against depression and anxiety. Anywho unmedicated has strategies that most of the time work?

And once sleep is ensured to be organized, OP could check if he is also lacking in discipline to do other things. From my experience, ADHD may make the person seemingly undisciplined, so internalizing the opposite behavior may help mitigate potential behavioral issues.
