Image Description Below
[One: Me: Ok I have two weeks to do this. My brain: Ok cool. Me: We now have 9 days to do this. My brain: Two weeks, cool. Me: We have 6 days. My brain: two weeks, cool. Me: We have ont day. My brain: Oh shit it’s due right now guess we failed.
Two: Executive dysfunction is like turning on the engine and pushing the accelerator while the car is still in park.
Three: But can a neurotypical person do THIS [immediately forgets what I was talking about]
Four: Come with me. And you’ll be. In a world of. Tense Procrastination.
Five: Executive dysfunction is like: *notices something that I should do* “Hmm, I really should get that done.” *stares at it for 30 seconds* “Anyway, moving on...”
Six: Me, with literally no concept of time: This should only take about ten minutes. Thing: *takes longer than ten minutes* Me: I guess I should die then huh.
Seven: People living with both executive dysfunction and anxiety disorder be like *explodes*
Eight: Me: oh bOY I have whole Saturday AND Sunday I’m gonna do so. Much!! And actually sleep more than 4 hours. *cut to my executive dysfunction laughing maniacally*
Nine: There is a vine of Shia LaBeouf and Steve Carell screaming “just do it” and “nooo” over each other and that’s basically what executive dysfunction feels like.
Ten: People without executive dysfunction are so wild to me. Y’all are just out here doing things?? Like actually thinking a thing sounds fun and just doing that thing??? Unrealistic]
