ADHD || Anxiety @adhd-anxiety - Tumblr Blog

I used to get really discouraged if executive dysfunction got the better of me for weeks or more. Like all of this month I wasn’t able to clean anything in the house until today.

But instead of being disappointed, I decided to look at it as “my mental illnesses could only hold me back for 26 days this time. I was too strong for it to top me past that”

And I feel a lot more accomplished and proud of myself. Even if it did take me weeks to clean my room, I was still able to overpower my symptoms and do it.

I don't know if this is necessary an ADHD thing, even though I highly suspect I'm ADHD, but I was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem. I become obsessed with a character to the point where I try to BECOME them. This entails changing little bits of my personality, if the character so requires it, however I revert back to my normal self in no time. It's usually a character kind of like me, but sometimes they're nothing like me. Does anyone else experience something like this?

Hello lovely!

This could be a hyperfixation on said character. Hyperfixations switch tons, and can always be the same thing every now and then.

Followers, have you experienced this? - B

What depression is really like:

•caring about your grades but not enough to do anything about them

•thinking about suicide more than graduating

•considering suicide whenever any problem arises

•tired

•no motivation

•no energy

•walking is so hard

•sometimes even talking is too much work because you’re so god damn tired

•laying in bed for hours because you’re too tired to move

•feeling nothing but sometimes everything

•knowing you’re not alone but still feeling alone

•that constant mindset of, “Who cares? I wont be around much longer anyways.”

•wishing to be left alone, while also wishing for people to stay

•never believing you’re good enough

•always putting yourself down

•never planning to far ahead in time

•fake smiles, fake laughs

•long showers because that’s you’re little moment of escape

nobody wants to admit that ADD/ADHD is a serious mental illness that can be literally debilitating because it’s always painted as not as serious as depression or whatever, but people with ADHD that takes over their whole life, people who can’t focus to save their lives, people who get overwhelmed by two people talking, people who randomly burst into tears with sensory overload, and people who can’t go five minutes without their ADHD being a dick exist and are real and valid. their mental illness is valid. ADHD is a mental illness just as real and valid as depression or anxiety. it’s not “omg i’m so adhd and random x3”. it’s a mental illness that often requires serious medication, therapy, and behavioral exercises. stop brushing adhd under the rug in favor of fetishizing sadness & depression Thanks.

My ADHD ass: DO SOMETHING DO SOMETHING DO SOMETHING

ME: what should I do?

My ADHD ass: I DON'T KNOW JUST DO SOMETHING

ME: Should I draw? Or Eat? Will I have a shower?

My ADHD ass: No, not enough energy for those

ME: then I do nothing?

My ADHD ass: NO, DO SOMETHING DO SOMETHING DO SOMETHING

I really need the “lets eat laundry pods” meme to stop. Because at this rate, they’re going to just stop making laundry pods. And I like using them, they’re so convenient (especially if you have to go to a laundromat? Instead of carrying a whole heavy thing of detergent you can just carry one lightweight pod?) There is no sticky mess to clean off of heavy detergent bottles. You don’t have to measure. It’s so easy, especially for people who have trouble lifting, measuring, people with low energy or executive dysfunction…people can eliminate one of the steps that makes doing laundry such a daunting task. I’m gonna be so very angry if this meme kills the existence of detergent pods.

Should I do a meet the admin thingy?

[unmedicated adhd brain]

me: let's do something productive

brain: too stressed, can't focus

me: ok, then let's do something enjoyable first

brain: can't do that either, feeling too guilty for not being productive

thatadhdfeel

tadhdfw it takes you three or four hours to watch one (1) episode of a TV show because you keep pausing to do other shit

thatadhdfeel

that adhd feel when you stay up two hours past when you wanted to go to sleep and you’ve been trying to go to bed early for a week and you’ve failed every time and you’re never going to fix your sleep schedule and you’re going to live your whole life as a worthless unproductive lil grub

wtfadhd

You are not worthless! You are not unproductive! Please be gentle with yourself, it will take time but you can do it!

wtfadhd

Tadhdfw you’re inbox is filling up and you feel you have a responsibility to your followers but now you’re overwhelmed and you feel like a letdown and you freeze up instead of answering messages.

Hi hi hi I’d just like to put some ADHD random stuff *slides it to you and runs away*

1. Feeling like you want to do something but you don’t know what it is you want to do so you do a bunch of stuff and you can’t find the purpose still

2. Getting so drowned in a thought that you can’t hear sound around you and when you come back it feels like someone pressed unmute on your brain

3. Sweater sleeves! When there too long so when you handclap they swing around and make a wonderful sound!! Its AMAZING!!

4. Having caffeine and the brain fog goes away and you feel like you exist again

5. Where is the important thing I put down 0.5 seconds ago???

6. When you have sensory issues and your entire body makes you feel uncomfortable…

7. Did I (Insert) today or am I just remembering last time I did it??

8. Hyperfocusing. You’ll be on your phone then you suddenly see that its been 7 hours and you haven’t eaten

9. Bouncing your leg is the only exercise you get

10. You hyperfixiate on emotionally compromising thing because your brain latches onto the pain and wants to keep feeling it

11. Having to repeat things out loud before your brain recognizes them as words (every day for me..)

12. .. The stigma. *long sigh* Yep.

13. SLEEEEEP.

14. Finally getting the right amount of sleep only to zone out most of the day

Uh add stuff if you want
