This is funny but also like really really deeply sad
Name of your sex tape
BINGPOT!
It’s getting really bad because now it’s ADHD mixed with massive depression because of the cycle I feel stuck in, the meds aren’t helping me do anything but stay awake and have more energy. I’m about to lose everything I care for in life because I just can’t shake my mind out of this shit.
Make sure to talk with your Doctor and express that feeling, I’ve been also in testing meds cycle it sucks but I’m sure I’ll find something that works, you got this.
I hope so, just about everything that could go wrong in my life has done so in the last 6 months. I’m really at the end of my rope.
Me before Adderall
This is some people after Adderall
But actually most people before Adderall.
It’s so real it hurts, weekends just hop out the window
relatable. Good morning. I’m doing the first 5 hours part of my day right now. catchya later.
update 7 hours later: I just did a productive thing!
Now back to some well-earned Lemmy time.
How do you get out of this loop?
- Hyperfixate on getting out the the loop
- Get stuck in new loop
You don’t, you just learn to operate within it.
You fool!
Just make a pact with the devil instead. … Adderall helps too.
I keep trying to do the deal with the devil but Satan answers my prayers about as much as God does.
Every fucking day
I feel seen, also how do you actually break out of this cycle, it’s been decades. 💀
I broke out by getting diagnosed and getting put on medication.
Wait a secondo, is that my routine?
Nah that’s my routine.
Y’all owe me SO much in royalties, but I keep forgetting to bring it up.
It’s past midnight and I have an assignment I need to finish today… but I really need to research the latest real-time physics engines.
My trick is to do as much as possible during the first hours of the day, and THEN get anxious.

I think you might be lost. And, just for clarity we all have moments but ADHD is about this happening constantly.
Why am I lost? And yes the particular scenario in this post is a regular occurrence. No matter how much time I have I will always put things off until the point where if I don’t do it now I won’t have time. Then I’ll try and start it but the up doing something more interesting and thinking of excuses to get away with not finishing what I was supposed to. It’s always something easy too and when I finally do it I tell myself that’s next time I’ll keep on top of it but never do.
Have you considered that you actually do have ADHD
No, I’ve just always thought that I am a bit lazy or self absorbed and only want to do the fun things. I do give through periods where I make an effort to correct it but it never sticks.
It sounds like trolling because it’s so typical of those of us with late diagnoses. We also believed this about ourselves prior to getting evaluated.
🍿
Definitely not trolling no. My comments are genuinely how I am but I don’t think that because I put things off until the last minute that it’s anything out of the ordinary. I am actually now a bit curious because more than one person is saying the same thing but I’m not going to self diagnose based on comments on the internet.
The thing that makes people with ADHD think they don’t have ADHD is the “hyperactive” part. Not everyone with adhd is actually hyperactive, but if you find be yourself unable to muster the motivation to do things you know you’re supposed to do, but the ability to hyper focus on things you want to do, that’s incredibly characteristic of ADHD.
If you’re trolling right now then you’re doing an A+ job.
I am genuinely not trolling although I have no way of proving it.
If you’re not trolling you just perfectly described what it’s like to be in denial about having ADHD
If you live somewhere with sane health insurance, consider a small conversation with your doctor to rule it out. You might consider yourself normal because it’s all you’ve ever known.
In the UK so no insurance to worry about. I’m actually considering it based on the consistency of the responses from multiple people.
Because that is only one symptom. And there are many different reasons why people could behave that way (even on a regular basis). It neither has to be ADHD nor any other mental health problem at all.
I wish more people would see that society holds us up to an in-humane standard and many people “fail” when compared to that standard.
When more than half of all people suffer from some type of mental health issue it’s quite obvious something with the system is wrong and not with us.
ADHD encompasses a variety of debilitating symtopms that are consistently present from the beginning of someone’s lives. Otherwise it can’t be ADHD.
It’s a cheap way to deal with our system-issues to brainwash people into believing somehow their brains are wrong.
You have undiagnosed ADHD.
This is being a normal human being at the weekend. This isn’t ADHD specific.
I think the original tweet is saying this is their every day life bc of their adhd.
Being their every day state of existence and not having any control over it is the piece that is adhd specific I believe.
There’s always one of you people who has to chime in like this. Yes, neurotypicals can be like this. But for a person with ADHD it’s not a choice, it’s far more intense, and it’s debilitating when you’re aware of it and can’t force yourself to do otherwise.
It’s not a choice for ‘neurotypicals’ either. This is simply a result of certain personality traits, notably, being low in Conscientiousness (Big Five), high in Neuroticism and Openness. It’s a (very common) type of person.
I’m all for the categorisation of ADHD but the amount of Zoomer Google Self Diagnosis that just makes shit up is absurd.
A neurotypical is far more in control of their actions in this situation and it’s absolutely a choice. They don’t have to deal with hyperfocus and executive dysfunction the way someone with ADHD does. This isn’t some self diagnosis bullshit, and it’s reductive at best and actively harmful at worst to suggest we don’t suffer from it or that because neurotypicals can exhibit similar behaviours, that means we’re just making things up. I’m diagnosed and most people here are too.
You aren’t neurotypical, so how would you know?
