#adhd relatable

[kalcium-yippee]

I can describe my gender the same way I describe my brain on ADHD meds- heavy and filled to the brim with absolutely nothing.

[advashaviv]

So much of ADHD can be boiled down to "I'll just"...

I'll just be a minute!

I'll just finish this thing I do which I love and is neverending, then move on to that urgent task.

I'll just leave this here for now.

I'll just call them later.

I'll just put on my all-is-fine mask.

✨ ADHD fantasy fiction

i have executive dysfunction in a world that views productivity as the only virtue, so now that im running late despite waking up five hours prior to the event i am led to believe i am natures mistake and should be sentenced to the chair

idk how it took me 17 years to get diagnosed with adhd bc my neurologist asked me if i get easily distracted and i straight up said “only by distracting things” and thought i was neurotypical

ADHD:

I was opening the cupboard to get scissors and I said out loud “where is the bread” bc my mum just mentioned bread and then had to explain that I was looking for scissors and why I said bread

Neurotypicals: “You spoke of an interest I have! That is exciting.”

vs

Me: “YOU SAID A THING I KNOW! I am !!!!!!!!!!”

(Bc !!! Is an emotion in the whackwheel I call my brain)

ADHD is forgetting halfway through making a double batch of cookies that you only doubled the first two ingredients 🤦‍♀️

Very ADHD experience: trying to find your meds and meanwhile finding THREE empty Adderall bottles

gandhi moment... Fuzzy went to his ADD test appointment ... and it came back positive.................

[gleefully-macabre]

I’ve been waiting over 90 minutes for a vendor who called to confirm I was available for the appointment “now”. I took “now” to mean “in 15-30 minutes given travel time”.

That was 11am. It’s nearly 1pm. I didn’t have lunch because I expected them to show up and didn’t want my cooking food to need attention while trying to explain the issue to the vendor, and also I am super uncomfortable eating while vendors are around (it feels rude!).

I know if I start trying to make something or do something they will pull up. I’m trying to give them the benefit of the doubt because there may have just been a lot of traffic due to the holiday. I probably should have asked for an ETA.

But I’m still hungry.

ADHD Mind Training Secrets

[lestcat-de-lioncourt]

ADHD: “u can’t expect this is gonna end well please stop”

“Nope! Tasty dronk!” *drinks the coffee anyway*

*spends the next rest of the day physically vibrating, arm flailing, and talking nonsense or squealing till bedtime, and probably raised a whole new skill to level 10 with hyper-focus like a sim in the process, became an fully qualified astronaut, but also ended up working as a post man for a day before giving up*

[shredded-cheeze-at-2am]

Relaxing.

Sounds simple enough.

But for me, an Adhder, it isn’t. I can unclench my jaw and drop my shoulders, but I still feel tense. I feel like there’s still things that I must do and I can't just “wait until tomorrow to do it”.

I may be physically exhausted but mentally, my mind's running a million thoughts a minutes. My brain knows there’s still things that need to be done, but I haven't done not one thing.

I can lounge on the couch and look at my phone for hours but I'm still not relaxed. Taking a break isn't exactly in vocabulary, so I either do it now or take to long to do it.

I just don't know how to relax if I'm not physically doing something

Neurotypicals:

“my mind is a complex web of emotions and capabilities.”

Me, a neurodivergent:

“BRAIN HAS TWO SPEEDS!!!!

BRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!! (big cat’s loud MEOW)

AND

brrrrr! (smol kitten’s mew)

But sometimes a secret third thing (sad)”
