Learning Python With ADHD: How Code Became My New Hyperfocus
Coding has a set of rules that my ADHD brain needs to grasp onto and survive the chaos thats inside of my head.
In which I am still learning how to navigate. My brain doesn't like traditional rules.. I will break every one if I get told I have to do something a certain way. And then get angry about it when it doesn't work out.
Python has helped because it pulls me out of that "oh i have to do things a certain way in order for the code to work" and then it calms me because python isn't your traditional tactic to staying sober but it sure helps my adhd brain stay in its lane. That's probably why i like it, not everyone can do it.
My grandma use to joke when I was a kid that, whatever she wanted me to do she should tell me that she didn't want me to do it because then I'd do it. Very naturally defiant to my core.. I love it and I hate it because when I feel threatened or just pissed off.. I will do the exact opposite of what I should be doing. I seriously have a bad habit of self-destruction and sabotage.
I'm learning a few things about myself during this transformation and I'm slowly but surely over-coming the hurdles I placed before myself.
One queston from me to you... Have you noticed something.. anything that you self-sabotage in your day to day routine and didn't notice before?
