I'd hate to go off-topic, but considering I'm going to start working on Alphaboy in two days, I figured I'd post my writing soundtrack for your entertainment.

This is an amateur commenting, so take it with a grain of salt, but I think your problem is neurological, not psychological.

I think something is physically wrong with your brain and is messing with how your thoughts are filtered. You have this crippling fear with everything because you physically cannot control it, these thoughts flood you and you aren't capable of thinking or doing anything so you shut down and a chain reaction causing you to get to the point in your life that you're currently at. It isn't autism or ADHD, something more like OCD.

I don't have recommendations or anything if it is, just a shot in the dark.

Does he actually have ADD or is he just a huge slacker?

If the last one is the case, an addiction to speed won't make things any better for him.

It's a possibility. ADD & other neurological disorders go hand-in-hand. If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say he might have the low energy, hyper-distractibility variant of ADHD. That's what I deal with. No physical hyperactivity, but your brain's always going a mile a minute.

EDIT: Herp, just saw this post.

That does fall in line with ADHD, though, too. There's just so much overlap with other neurological things that it's hard to pinpoint what's what.

I sit on my ass, listening to music, eating junk food, jerking off, channel surfing, playing video games, and I spend almost half-an-hour trying to find the right movie to watch. It's frustrating.

Years ago I read this book that I think you should read called The Paradox of Choice by Barry Schwartz. I think you could get something out of this book. TLDR: it's about how our generation has so many choices we become depressed due to the growing chance of failure (making the wrong choice.)
Maybe that's why it takes you so long to pick a movie to watch, maybe you're afraid you'll make the wrong decision, not like the movie, and feel like your time is wasted.

I'm serious when I say your fear of failure is a problem. People hate to fail, but you seem to almost breakdown over it. You need to address that with professionals.

Don't amphetamines sometimes have a side effect of heightening anxiety though? I mean I have no idea how they will affect Connor, everyone's different and all that, but still.

Also true. They're kind of a double-edged sword. If I accidentally took too much, I'd go full-fucking-manic. They can also mess with your heart/blood pressure. You have to be very careful.
EDIT: I think the highest dosage you can safely take is 60mg, & that's really pushing it.
 
I don't believe it. We've got @Connor for the third time in a week, AND we got him to listen to Death Grips. Today is a beautiful day.

I'm going to second the advice from @Hellblazer. Working on fiction--or any art medium where you get to define the rules and choose to break them--can get tiring. Working on a project like movie reviews or write-ups on certain things helps, because you aren't in control. The facts are. And don't worry about striving for perfection. It's a first draft. Almost nothing stays the same after the first draft. Typos, bad facts, everything can be fixed in revision.
 
Thanks, Chip.

To tell you the truth, I've got something of a game plan going on for my writing this year. All I need is to get myself motivated, and I'll be in business. First, I'll work on the first draft of Alphaboy, as well as some short stories. Then, I'll churn out a couple of scripts to give to my high school drama teacher for her to choose from. I'm good friends with her, and she was a huge influence on me. After that, I'll work on a substantially improved version of Redesigning Eva. Finally, I'll see if I can write a script for another friend, b-movie director Albert Pyun.

No really, I'm buds with Albert Pyun. The guy who directed Cyborg, the Nemesis movies, Brainsmasher, Dollman, etc.

It's good, like honestly good, to have goals like this. But you also need to take day-to-day activities into just as much consideration. How many words are you going to write per day? How many hours per week?
