A litmus test is "is harm coming to the individual?"
I'm diagnosed and experience exactly what you describe, but there is also a decade of severe underemployment, risky impulse behaviour, big financial hits, marital strain and a litany of health problems.
The harm can be pretty subtle despite being obvious in retrospect.
- brailsafe 6y agoNot to say that one definitely doesn't have it if these life problems aren't present, but they are for me. You don't go seeking help if it's a matter of sometimes you're spinning your wheels, but generally you've never had really problematic life issues. I haven't paid taxes in 5 years, because I've never been financially comfortable for long enough to get it done, because I keep getting fired from jobs, in part because I can't consistently show up on time, and in part because about 6 months into a new job things catastrophically diminish in novelty, difficulty, or urgency, or a number of other things including being very susceptible to burnout.
