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.

A lot of times, I've mentally completed it. Even if I haven't physically. Like video games. I usually get to the final boss, I've solved all the problems, done all the side quests, got all the items, upgraded all the things, leveled up to be super strong. Now it's just.. do the task. But mentally, I've "beaten" the game. I'm a high enough level it won't be a challenge and I already know how the story ends.
