things that i Didnât Realize throughout my 15 years of life were adhd related: a novel
apparently not everyone just hums or sings to themselves constantly?? to the point where they annoy everyone around them but canât stop themselves??? yeah thatâs vocal stimming
getting unnecessarily angry or sad,, who knew huge mood swings were from my adhd hell brain
being brain dead all day until itâs bedtime and suddenly youâre kept awake for hours by thoughts and youâre somehow far more productive at 1am than the rest of the day
not being able to pull yourself away from an activity and if you do you think about it constantly until you start doing it again
forgetting to eat,, sometimes itâs like mid afternoon and i Realize,, i didnât have lunch
but on the flip side eating the same thing every. single. day. u canât not eat it. iâve had the same like 3 things for lunch since i was like 5
mental stims??? could be like earworms, quotes, repeating a phrase while u walk,,,
AWFUL SENSE OF DIRECTION OMG
unable to estimate measurements like speed, distance,,, itâs kind of weird but a lot of people i know w adhd seem to struggle with this too??
everyone knows time blindness but trash blindness?? when thereâs a mess i am just đ©âđŠŻđ©âđŠŻ
brain shutdown after a certain time. this is the wildest thing, like if i need to do something but havenât done it before a certain time, iâll just think âwell itâs too late nowâ when there is absolutely enough time
associating work with school and rest with home. this is the reason why i struggle with online school and homework, because my brain is in âwork modeâ and does just fine in school but as soon as i get home all motivation for any type of schoolwork is gone
i have no idea if these are common âadhd culture thingsâ but these are experiences that me and a lot of other people i talk to w adhd share đ
