#adhd forgetfulness

[honeypleasejustkillme]

how do you tell someone “i’m not ignoring you i’m just disconnected from reality right now and the days are all blurred together and i feel completely apathetic towards everyone/everything around me so it’s really hard for me to maintain a conversation” without saying that

When I say I forget my friends exist sometimes, by the way, I don't mean that y'all have completely vacated from my mind.

It's kind of like a plate in a microwave that the beeping is broken on. It finished spinning but because you're not actively watching it to see when it's done, you forget you were ever making food, usually until you smell it and get reminded that you have food in the microwave.

As for friends, I see the messages, but because there's nothing there actively reminding me, they're just kind of sitting there perpetually. I can think about them, but I've forgotten the act of interacting personally (outside of reblogging posts from one another) exists, basically.

having adhd is like that feeling when you walk into a room and can’t remember what you went in there for, except it’s almost constant

TW mention of pet death (nothing that actually happened tho)

Had a dream last night that my partner told me that their cat died, but I immediately forgot afterwards bc there were a lot of random people in our house (you know how dreams are). So, later in the dream, my partner was crying and I was like omg babe what’s wrong?? and they gave me the worst “wtf” look bc I had forgotten, and said “umm… fuzz face died….?!?!” And I was horrified that I could be so insensitive and forget something as important as that.

And that, folks, is on Real Things ADHDers Worry About.

(and fuzz face is fine btw)

It is genuinely so funny (also infuriating but still funny) to me when people respond to ADHD people taking meds for the first time and going “wow is this how people are supposed to feel???” by acting like those people are taking meth for the first time and getting high and thinking that’s how humans are supposed to feel all the time. And then they get condescending about that.

Like. The reason I am so sure I have ADHD is because I would absolutely not seek this drug out to get high. It has zero recreational use for me, although it clearly does for neurotypical people.

You know what I did the first time I got access to ADHD meds? I sat quietly in a chemistry class, waiting for a boring chemical reaction to take place, basically with Wii music playing in my head, and the waiting didn’t feel physically painful to me the way it did prior to taking meds. I’m told normal people can endure 5-20 minute stretches of doing nothing without boredom becoming painful. I never had before. It was a revelation.

But it absolutely was not like getting high. I could just behave in the exact way I’d been expected to behave for 30+ years without hurting myself doing so. It’s so fucking crazy the hoops I have to jump through to get a vital medication just because some dipshits think I’m getting high off it. Literal meth out of someone’s trailer would be simpler and probably cheaper to acquire if that was what I was after.

something about "your anger isn't scary to me" is making me so emotional. something about as above so below, cassandra as a mirror of kristen. something about "I've been dropping the ball a lot lately" and kristen's struggles with adhd. something about teenage girls and rage and fury and justice. something about adaine's vision of ruining fallinel and the sylvaire looking for revenge. something about sadness and doubt and anger and love. something about "I choose to understand" being the absolute core theme of d20 in general. something something.

I really feel like one of the best details in “A Scandal in Bohemia” that I never see people fixate on enough is that the story starts with Watson stopping in to see Holmes at Baker Street on a complete whim, because he happens to see that he’s home (and Watson is now married and living elsewhere). Like he doesn’t send word first, he’s not invited, he just shows up and surprises Holmes. Which is not that weird but then Holmes is like “oh good, I’ve got a case anyway, you might as well hang out!” which just makes it funnier when the King shows up and is like “I’d really rather speak to you alone, actually” and Watson tries to leave and Holmes is just like “anything you can say to me, you can say to my best friend John Watson, and if you ask him to leave, I would consider it a grave insult, you would be my enemy and I will not help you ever!!” And the king is like “…ok” and just moves on.

like, that is crazy behavior. Holmes is talking about how there’s probably lots of money in this case, and then almost turns away the client for…not knowing who the fuck Watson is?? He’s not even supposed to be there?? He just came to say hi?? “It is both or none”… girl, GET UP.

Psych is such a great show because practically every character is the absolute Silliest of Billies and this fact only becomes clearer the further you watch into the show.

What's up with controversial YouTubers constantly blaming ADHD for their rancid actions like... that's not how ADHD fucking works??? It could worsen some issues you have and even be the reason for some but it wouldn't make you a fucking asshole????
