I’m currently stuck in this loop where I want to do everything at 100% intensity, and it's starting to burn me out. I just started college and I’m actually studying well for once, but my brain is constantly screaming about a million other things.

I’m deep-diving into cybersecurity right now and I want to be the smartest geek in the room, plus I want to start a YouTube channel to document the journey. But then my hobbies rotate like crazy one week I’m obsessed with barebones mechanical keyboards, the next I’m looking at $500 espresso grinders and trying to learn how to be a professional barista. I literally can’t sleep because I’ll stay up until 4 AM trying to find the "sauce" and im also currently degoogling my life trying to go all open source which is honestly making me more stressed daily.

The main issues I’m hitting:

1. Perfectionist Paralysis: I haven’t used organization apps before because I’m obsessed with finding the "best possible setup" before I even start. I spend days researching the "perfect" system and never actually end up organizing anything.
2. Time Blindness: I do video editing work for my client that should take 10 hours max, but it takes me 3 days because i get distracted easily or just do something else
3. Decision Fatigue: I just want an AI or a system where I can dump my food, gym, work, and hobbies, and it tells me exactly when to do them. I need to get the "deciding" out of my head so I can just show up and execute i also need a system where i write a hobby and then link that hobby to a tutorial for it that i wrote on my own if you get what i mean.

I’ve looked into Obsidian, Notion, but I’m paralyzed by the choices. I need something that can handle a massive brain dump but also builds a schedule for me so I don't steer away from my studies or drown in my hobbies.

Does anyone else deal with this? What’s the actual "sauce" for a life that feels low friction but handles high power chaos? I need a command center that does the thinking for me.

Hey everyone, I've been struggling for a while with things I recently started connecting the dots on. I'm looking for a psychiatrist or neurologist in Libya ( preferably Tripoli ) who has experience diagnosing and treating ADHD in adults.

Here's what I deal with on a daily basis:

-Hyper-focus episodes— I go completely all-in on things (a hobby, a project, a problem) and can't stop, sometimes for days

-Can't sleep because my brain won't turn off — I'll be back at my PC at 4 AM because I'm terrified of losing an idea or solution

-Time blindness — I genuinely can't feel time passing. A task I think will take an hour takes 8.

-Decision paralysis — I have work, college, gym, and hobbies but no internal sense of what to do first. I exhaust myself just deciding.

-Perfectionist paralysis— I can't start things until I find the "perfect" way to do them, so I often do nothing instead

-Executive function issues — My brain is fast and creative but I struggle massively to start, stop, or switch between tasks

-Standard advice doesn't work — "Just be disciplined" and "make a schedule" don't help me the way they seem to help other people

I'm not self diagnosing — I just want to talk to someone qualified who actually understands this stuff and can properly assess me.

If you've been through this or know a good doctor, please drop a name or DM me. Shukran 🙏

إني ما نحبش القراية بكل، ولا عمري فتحت كتاب وقريت بنية جدية، لكن لقيت روحي الفترة هذي بديت نقرأ ونحاول نطوّر من روحي.

الفترة الماضية تخصصت فيه، وبديت ناخذ دورات في منصات تدريبية للأمن السيبراني، وعندي طموح كبير إني نكمل في المجال هذا ونفهمه صح.

لكن في نفس الوقت خايف من المستقبل، ومن فكرة إني نتعب ونتعلم وفي النهاية ما نلقاش وظيفة.

وشن تنصحوني ندير باش نزيد فرصي في المجال؟
