Hey, a bit late but Movies are a bit easier to finish for me, books it depends on the book itself!

I get what you mean by the plot revealed, most of the time I get ahead using clues of the story and spoil myself

I really try to enjoy games slowly, and for some time it works but when novelty wears off, is hard for me to start playing the game again!

Can you suggest some game that hit that sweetspot?

Hey everyone!

I really passionate about games but I struggle a lot to finish the storyline for a lot of them. There are some games I would love to finish like Eastward or Sea of Stars, but I feel unable to reasume them. I feel like if the game is not a dopamine trap(League or Civ VI) I can't continue playing it.

Does anyone here has face this issue and have found a way to work on it?

Hey, feel like that a lot.

Just like most of the people here I try to accept that I'm this way, and even if I don't want, I will not do things and feel bad. I try just to apologize and get the thing done if possible. Not much to do besides that.

Also when I'm on a low mood moment these feelings of guilt appear to be enormous, but eventually you get yourself up an they are manageable. Being burn down by that is pretty common for me, so I wish you some rest!

Hey, thanks to comment here! Its been a while from this post and I think a lot has improved since.

Self acceptance has been key and as you said Im trying to be aware that from time to time this approach could not work anymore.

Thanks again!

I'm reading these responses again and let me tell you that writing tthings down has helped me a ton!

Also, that computer analogy was really nice. Thanks to take time and help me (and anyone that arrives to this post!)

Damn, I don't know where to start this response.

-First, I didn't know that "the real devil" was so good giving advice. Where I live we have a saying that translates like "More knows the devil by old than by being the devil", so your experiences and conclusions are appreciated.

-I haven't been medicated yet, so I will have your advice in mind regarding to that. Also I don't really know if Adderall is a thing where I live.

-Categorizing things by mood needed is something that I haven't heard of, but is so clear now. All my life I have ridded waves of motivation, but I have never planned to do it in advance.

-I'm already on therapy so that's like my "sprint review" to check if an habit is sticking, for me agile has been a good framework to try habits and new approaches.

-As a last point, I'm a developer but as you, I guess that I'm an artist, a writer and whatever I'm feeling like in the moment.

I really appreciate you took time to write this comment, thanks!

EDIT: formatting.

Hi, as the title says I'm a new developer and some days ago I was diagnosed. My diagnose journey started because I'm unable to be consistent (That's not something new) and it is making me really depressed.

I just spend all day doing nothing and some day I just write most of what I have should written. Some days I force myself to code just to see all letters as blurry meaningless symbols and then I come back to square one where I procrastinate. Now I'm working from home, but when I go to office this gets 10 times worse.

I will be making an appointment to get medications soon, but does anyone have some additional ways to fight this?

EDIT: Thanks everyone that responded the call for help! To people that resonate with this post, please read these comments, all of them are really useful.

Update: All this post started because of a deadline i was having serious problems to reach.

If you are in the same spot as a new dev: What happened to me was that I was facing a really complex issue in which we lacked a lot of information and when I started to ask some key questions everything started to flow again, my main blocker was communication.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I should have focused on understanding rather than trying to solve.
