Oh, I didn't think you were disagreeing.

My entire point is that since task paralysis can be a symptom of an executive dysfunction, it is worth the time for OP to talk to their doctor about it.

I don't think that the previous poster said, nor implied that OP definitely has an executive dysfunction because of this one symptom.

Neither of which I think you have refuted at any point, in any capacity. :)

I'm still not a doctor, but as a first-aid certified person, signs and symptoms can be extremely useful in helping someone. It gives you a starting point to try to figure out what's happening.

Further investigation is always required.

Medical diagnosis is a science. Things need to be proven. You can't just go on vibes or feelings or whatever.

Since OP describes some symptoms that can be associated with executive function disorders, doesn't mean that they definitely have those conditions. Only a qualified doctor should be making that kind of conclusion.

If they can convince you of some bullshit to keep you on without paying you more, you better believe they'll say whatever they think will convince you to give them more of your time.

They're scum.

Days in lieu, from working OT on salary.... IMO, is required.

I don't work for free; if you're paying me to be present for specific hours, regardless if it's salary or not, then I expect to work during those hours and not any other time.

If, as a salary employee, I'm paid for results and as long as I meet my deadlines (and deadlines are reasonable) I can work whenever, then yeah, I'll probably put in unpaid OT sometimes. I'll tell you something though.... With my level of experience, it would be unusual for anything to take so long that it requires that I work more than what is typical.

As someone who works for a living: praise is nice, but pay is required.

... Fuck you, pay me.

Yeah. Needing to install using an MS account is a massively consumer hostile practice.

I see it as Microsoft saying: "this is what's best for you, you'll do things this way" and giving you absolutely no way to bypass it (unless you're like me or you... And know the tricks to do so).

"Safe from pain, and truth, and choice, and other poison devils" ...

Sure thing boss. Can I also spit shine your shoes while I'm down on my knees taking your orders?

Oh... Uhhh... Hyperactivity in the name, isn't behavioral hyperactivity. That can certainly be a symptom but the naming comes from hyperactivity in specific brain functions, as in, your brain works too much on things inappropriately.

While that can manifest as hyperactive behaviors, it doesn't always.

... Which is probably why they qualified their statement with "might".

OP might have an executive dysfunction.

I am not a doctor, but I agree that the possibility that OP has an executive dysfunction is nontrivial. Depending on where you live, finding out might be free. Just saying.

I don't see what you've written and provide the most likely response to the prompt you've made.

I cognitively think about what you've said, comprehend it, consider the concepts you have portrayed and formulate an idea that becomes my response. I then transcribe that response into language, and write it out in such a way that others can comprehend.

Cognition is the part that's missing. And what we don't know about how human cognitive abilities work, far outweighs the amount we do know. Right now our best theories involve a complex interconnection of brain cells that send signals along neurons to other cells and that somehow, in a way we don't currently understand, results in the complex thought and cognition that we, as humans, have.

To summarize cognitive capabilities into a series of neurons firing is reductive and discounts the very Science that you are basing your answer upon. The Brain is still a thing that we have a lot of work left to do before we can understand it. Your comment is disrespectful of the scientists that are trying to push the understanding of the brain to new levels.

Be quiet.

I will point out that's not what the OP is about.

It's literally complaining for the sake of complaining.
