having adhd is sooo fun because i get to experience malicious boredom. it's like normal boredom, but it hates u personally and wants to harm u

Did I have a slow start to my day? yes

Was I able to complete everything on my to do? not even close

But we celebrate anyways with a smoke sesh

Am I going to need 5-7 business days to recover? Also yes

me discovering a new hyperfixation: this is it. This Is The One. there isnt anything on this goddamn planet that could overpower my Love for this Thing. what i'm feeling is an all consuming, overwhelming, incredibly overpowering Happiness, an immovable force within me. I will never stop tal

me, like two weeks later: i literally do not feel an ounce of human emotion about this Thing. i am an empty void, numb and dark. i have only known happiness once. and never will i feel it again.

i could get so much done if only i could get stuff done

I’m not gonna say ADHD doesn’t suck, because it does, but it did teach me how to get away with doing the absolute minimum every time.

I honestly don’t believe a neurotypical could start writing a 3000 word essay 1 day before it’s due, on a book they didn’t read, and somehow still get a passing grade

[bonivers]

.... i have never felt so seen

Anyway if I’ve learned one thing in uni it’s to always ask for an extension

[addmoods]

How am I supposed to explain arguments from an academic text when my concentration is so low I have to first summarize every question in the assignment to even understand what I’m supposed to do. Nothing is sticking in my brain, I forget every word right after I read it. I’m DONE! I’m TIRED! I want to smoke a joint and that’s it

[addmoods]

My ability to do schoolwork usually magically appears when I’ve procrastinated until the last moment and can’t put it off any longer, but today it’s just not happening. It’s so stressful I know I have to do it NOW but the class is incredibly boring and I have to read so much & I can’t even think.

adhd makes me want to be spontaneous but if my plans change last minute i cry

[addmoods]

RSD is trusting your ‘gut feeling’ when it tells you that your friend is definitely ignoring your text, which of course means they’re sick of you and think you’re super annoying, even though you just asked them to hang out (which was a huge mistake, how dare you!) and then they text back and everything is fine, turns out they were just busy

Time Management with ADHD...

I have to be there at 6:00

It’s a 15 minute drive

So I need to leave at 5:40 in case there’s traffic

So I need to walk out my door at 5:35 in case I forget anything and have to run back in

It’s 5:18

So I’ll set a timer for 10 minutes so that I can have 7 minutes to run & grab my things before I have to walk out the door

I will now sit & watch the timer for 10 minutes because I don’t have time to do anything because I have to grab my things in 10 minutes even though it’s a 15 minute drive and I have 42 minutes to get there

[addmoods]

Probably my biggest problem is that my brain never lets me start anything because “I still have time” until I don’t have time and then it’s too late

It's always the "it'll only take a moment" argument.

So this thing and keep your vegetables fresh longer. It's only 5 minutes work.

Do this every day to keep your house clean, only 15 minutes each day.

Do this little thing every day to improve your energy, it's 10 minutes every morning.

Want to lose weight? Just a 30 minute work out every day.

But all that shit adds up, you know?

Suddenly it's an hour each day. And the "5 minutes" is bullshit. They don't tell you it's 10 minutes preparing and 5 minute cleanup. Yeah, 30 minute work-out. But I've got to change into something else and I've got to shower afterwards.

And then you lose 2 hours a day. On top of all the other things you have to do. So when do you relax? When do you sit down and watch TV? Read a book? Take a bath?

And if doing that workout is relaxing to you? Awesome. But you're lucky, bc for a lot of people it isn't. And I'm tired of people telling me it is. I could manage that 30 minute work out, tbh. I could. But the changing outfit, the shower after, and/or the getting up earlier to do it. I can't do that. I just can't. Stop telling me it's "easy". It fucking isn't.

Adhd is: I didn’t do my homework even though I had a week to catch up but I did stay up all night sorting over 300 songs in a chronological order for no real reason other than “I felt like it”

[addmoods]

It’s almost 500 songs at this point and they’re all still in the right order. Keeping up with a spotify playlist is literally the most consistent thing in my life
