having adhd is like being in a “if you give a mouse a cookie” book
if you give an adhder a phone, they’ll doomscroll for hours until they see a video of a craft they want to try
if an adhder sees a craft they want to try, they’ll go buy a bunch of supplies at michael’s
if they buy a bunch of craft supplies, they’ll be excited to start the project and hyperfixations on it four five hours
if they hyperfixate for five hours, they’ll be hungry and tired but not know why
if they’re hungry and tired, they’ll eventually get burnt out, and climb into bed without putting away their craft supplies
if the climb back into bed, they’ll pull out their phone and start doomscrolling for another hour
if they doomscroll for too long, they’ll get tired in the late afternoon and take a nap
if they take a nap, they’ll miss dinner and forget to eat, and eventually wake up hungry but rested
if they wake up well rested, they’ll have their energy back and want to be productive
if they’re in a productive mood, they’ll clean their entire room and reorganize their bookshelf
if they reorganize their bookshelf, they’ll see an old book about learning a language from a past hyperfixation and want to pick it back up
if they decide to immediately pick it back up, they’ll forget about the rest of the books on the floor, making the room messy again
if they leave the room messy, they’ll mess will accumulate over time until it becomes so overwhelming all the adhder can do is crawl back into bed and feel guilty but not actually clean anything up
if the adhder is feeling guilty, nothing will get done and other *cough neurotypical cough* people will tell the adhder that they need to clean up and micromanage them, making them feel even worse
if they feel worse, they will feel even less inclined to clean up their room, especially because that other person has told them to
if they don’t clean their room, all they can do is wait until the next productivity boost hits
and when that productivity boost hits, they’ll clean their entire room, eventually get tired, and start to doomscroll
TLDR: if you give a me a tumblr, i’ll ramble about executive dysfunction for five minutes and somehow manage to bring it full circle
