I've spent this weekend mostly in bed, and on a PC watching memes

When I am at work and I see a customer or a colleague who needs some help I instantly conjure some motivation and can write some code... But when I'm alone at home I cannot accomplish anything on a computer, only can do the chores.

How do people even do anything on their own? I only became good at linux because I at some point in life became obsessed with it, I can't study anything on my own, couldn't get a driver's license, couldn't finish a university

You might want to look into ADHD and executive dysfunction in general. As a fellow ADHDr, I know the struggle is real. But there are ways to improve this, both behavioral and pharmacological.
