I frequently find myself losing momentum at the end of things that I enjoy. For instance, I've been playing Baldur's Gate 3 and loving it. I recently got into the last act (Act 3) of the game, and I'm finding myself a bit burned out on it and gravitating towards other games. I'm also in the last episode of Dimension 20's Neverafter (yes, I'm a geek haha) and finding myself not interested in finishing it.

Does this happen to anyone else? I started on medication earlier this year, and lots of other symptoms of my ADHD have gone away, but this one seems to be persisting.

My issue seems specifically with reengaging things. Like with shows, if it’s the show I’m watching rn, I sit down and watch for a while, and each time I come back to watch tv I just put on the next episode. But if I’m waiting for new episodes, there’s a decent chance I just won’t come back to the show.

For games, it seems to be when I get the gist of the game… BG3, I mostly finished act I, and I keep thinking “I enjoyed that game” but I don’t feel drawn to play it anymore. Even when I’m bored and don’t know what to do.
