I'm currently being diagnosed for ADHD (i probably have it but i still need the confirmation from my therapist), and I was wondering if you have problems being consistent with physical activities.

I always start very confident and very excited, but after a couple of weekend the thing dies down.

Even if I force myself to pay and go to the gym, I often don't reach the end of the subscription and quit.

This is also a problem with home exercises, running, hiking...

If it's a self motivated workout, I will almost never do it.

If it's a sport league that plays on the same day every week, it will end up being the most consistent routine I have.

It honestly changed my life when I started meeting with friends at specific times each week to lift weights. Having it be an actual appointment that would affect others if I didn't show up made all the difference. I was super excited to be there and never missed a day.

Then their schedules changed and they are no longer available when I am. I still like working out... but it's so hard to make myself do it and I am super inconsistent now. It depresses me to think about it

Sounds like you need new friends. I wonder if there's a market for an app to find workout buddies?
