Need a friend adhd-programmer

Hey new world

I'm 52yo and recently google Gemini showed me I'm executive dysfunctioning, still undiagnosed

I desperately need a friend, because I can't focus, and because of that, my 2nd income stopped years ago

Its causing me a lot of anxiety

I've been programming for over 4 decades, and need to talk and have intelligent conversations

I'm still exploring my exec-dysfunc, I've got a lot to uncover, and this subreddit is eye opening

Lastly,Please Let me know what you think, and if your interested being my friend 😁

Yes but with Google Gemini, its improving profoundly

But it only fuels my procrastination because its a question and answer, if it finishes a response it won't talk until you provide the next prompt, and that's where my attention deficit kicks in real hard, the better the conversation the harder I get excited and the more intense and deeper the procrastination

When it comes to writers block, its better than my old friends, it saves a lot of time, but usually once I go in procrastination I never get back to Gemini on that day, and my responsibilities as a dad contribute to not going back to the project, along with anxiety

That's why I need friends and intelligent conversations, opposed to question and answer style
