me theory explanation rewrite

I have minor depression that occurs when my mind is not busy, similarly to how a retired person will attempt to find work to do, or how in those last weeks of summer you just can't wait to get back to school. But keeping my mind busy is not easy (not mention I also have a.d.h.d.), I have attempted to do this with mentally stimulating video games such as space station 13, starcraft, and Factorio. these were great options but they also had a horrible side effect, addiction. I managed to "quit" by reading mentally stimulating articles. this is great so I now .replaced my video game addiction with a reading addiction, but, when doing things that I find less stimulating, I quickly get bored and then sad. And, because schoolwork is not stimulating, I started failing at school. But, I recently realized I could make my school work stimulating by asking my teachers if I could incorporate something that I find mentally stimulating into my school work. This had immediate positive outcomes and that is where I am currently. I hope you find how I turned my disability, into my superpower, inspiring.
