Can't stop doing something, even when it's making you angry.

Is this an ADHD thing or just a me thing.

So I tend to not do or try new things because if I'm not good immediately, especially when ** I think ** it's something I should've good at. So when I do start something new, and I inevitably get to a spot that's difficult and I can't grasp it even after 4 or 5 tries, I have 2 options, stop there and never touch it again, or do literally nothing else until I can get past it. This doesn't seem to crazy, but sometimes it'll be past midnight (or way later) and I'm still at it until I get it right.

Part of this I know is my own perfectionist/gifted child trauma that I'm working on, but is any part of this something that anyone else with ADHD struggles with?
