I frequently find myself losing momentum at the end of things that I enjoy. For instance, I’ve been playing Baldur’s Gate 3 and loving it. I recently got into the last act (Act 3) of the game, and I’m finding myself a bit burned out on it and gravitating towards other games. I’m also in the last episode of Dimension 20’s Neverafter (yes, I’m a geek haha) and finding myself not interested in finishing it.
Does this happen to anyone else? I started on medication earlier this year, and lots of other symptoms of my ADHD have gone away, but this one seems to be persisting.
The last paragraph is really important - don’t feel pressured to be a completionist in your leisure. Most of your life will give you constant pressure to complete things related to work or school - let your brain enjoy your leisure time and if it wants to move on don’t try to force it to stay or stress out about how you’ll restart it. In most of life you’ll need to learn how to cope and conform to societal expectations around task completion, but it’s probably healthy for us to let our brain indulge when we’re unwinding.
