adhd shit from my experience
my diagnosis is combined-type adhd so this’ll be a mess
(self-dx people can reblog too!)
time is a social construct/i have no concept of time (casually forgetting what day/month/year it is)
rejection sensitive dysphoria
i’m bored but everything is too boring/unappealing
“where’s my phone???” i say, holding my phone
thinking about one thing and then thinking about something else for literally one (1) second but immediately forgetting about what you were originally thinking about
bad yet good memory (i.e: i can remember entire movie scripts from movies i watched years ago but i can’t remember what i did yesterday)
can’t sit or stand still (i.e: i bounce my legs while sitting; i rock side to side while standing)
i have so much energy!!!!!!! i gotta move and jump around Right Now or else i’ll Die
i know i should brush my teeth. all i have to do is pick up my tooth brush, put toothpaste on it, and brush my teeth. so why is my body doing Not That (executive dysfunction)
literally everything is distracting (i.e: that clock on the wall at school? distracting. the air conditioning? distracting. someone tapping their pencil on their desk? distracting. can’t focus on anything but the distraction.)
zoning out CONSTANTLY (can be both on purpose or accidental)
i’m reading this book but i’m not processing any of the words on the pages so i have no idea what’s happening and fuck now i gotta reread it from the beginning (having to do this over and over again to actually be able to read something)
what was i doing? what was i saying? what did i do yesterday? fuck if i know
having no! sense! of! volume control! (i.e: yelling when you think you’re whispering - not being aware of this unless someone mentions it)
i’m upset but i forgot why so now i’m just vaguely uncomfortable
oops i forgot to eat again
what’s an attention span? don’t know her
