i fall into this trap SO OFTEN
rose tinted glasses and sweet nothings lead to broken promises | 5.22pm
I read this post the other day that said “sometimes people pretend you’re a bad person so they don’t feel guilty for the things they did to you” and boiiii has that one stuck with me
from here
Daily Thought 2044: The right thing may sound extreme.
Friendly reminder to take your medication, brush your teeth, drink some water, eat something, unclench your shoulders, jaw, or any other muscles you may be tensing, & move positions/get up and stretch for at least 30 seconds.

“Regardless of my transient joys, I am never free of a feeling of melancholy which somehow forms the base of my heart.”

Watching kitchen nightmares and *hides in the bathroom for an hour* “I feel so helpless!” Guess what Lisa, the reason you’re upset is your restaurant it shit and nobody’s fixing it, bc it’s YOUR JOB to fix it. Don’t be upset and feel helpless when you should realize YOU CAN FIX THIS stop wallowing bitch
one fairly common experience of gifted children is wishing for pain. wishing you had some great big horrible thing in your past so that you can justify the pain you’re in, and so that you’ll deserve help. it’s exhausting and it fucks you up and to anyone out there who feels like they haven’t suffered enough to get help: you’re allowed to want help. you’re in enough pain. you deserve to feel better
holy shit yeah
is this one of those things that everyone actually does?? i just assumed i was a shitty person
I have a bunch of adhd symptoms but not hyperactivity and my attention isn’t too bad, I’ve had significant problems in the past with maintaining attention but mainly for school reading (and I think that lack of focus was partly depression caused) not paying attention in class etc. I meet enough criteria to have inattentive type adhd according to my therapist but I feel weird not having (hyperactivity) and baaaarely having (innattention) the symptoms in the acronym. The symptoms I do have (mostly executive function stuff) are interfering w my life and school though. I’m doing the TOVA test next week. and my therapist really wants me on a stimulant medication. Hopefully that can happen.
‘i don’t have adhd but this adhd post is #relateable’
(the majority of this post is pulled from an older reblog I did on my main, @vantasticmess.)
it’s ADHD Awareness Month so here’s a post about it. :D
I’ve gotten sooo many ‘#not adhd but man i feel this’ tags on adhd posts i’ve made, and tbh tags of this type drive me nuts (b/c they make me doubt the validity of my diagnosis.)
but if you, a not-adhd person, see a post about adhd experiences and relate to it, please consider the following:
maybe you do have adhd?
maybe it’s because most things that adhd people experience are things that most everyone experiences sometimes, only they experience it all the time.
at its heart, adhd is the inability to pick what your attention is locked onto, sometimes combined with a need to move constantly (hyperactivity). This manifests as:
lively internal life + rapid thought & intuitive leaps of cognition - good when being creative, bad when trying to make a logical decision
overthinking things
impulsive behavior
short attention span + being easily distracted
unnaturally long attention span + inability to notice outside stimuli
short term memory dysfunction
executive dysfunction
no sense of priority (everything is equally important)
no sense of time in relation to self (cannot effectively tell how long an activity will take or develop a sense of urgency based on a deadline until the deadline is perilously close or already passed)
failure to follow through (leaving work incomplete)
forgetting to remember/remembering tasks at inappropriate times
intrusive thoughts
And pretty much everyone experiences one or all of these things at times, and these symptoms can spring from other causes than ADHD (for instance, executive dysfunction accompanies depression and anxiety as well).
But adhd people have this happen so constantly and so intrusively that we cannot complete basic tasks, even if we want to:
The only thing consistent about us is inconsistent results: sometimes we’re on time, sometimes we’re not. sometimes we’re reliable, sometimes we’re not. sometimes we’re studious, sometimes we’re not … (and trust me we’re not enjoying it any more than you are)
We fail classes, we drop out of college, we lose jobs, and no matter how much we try, we cannot fix it.
We can’t just remove distractions - our brains are a distraction.
We can’t just ‘try harder’ - our wayward mind might be focusing on our studying today, but tomorrow it might not. The same effort level will have wildly different results on different days because our attention cooperated … or didn’t.
it is literally impossible for us to choose our focus. pretty much ever.
it pisses off our friends, it pisses off our bosses, it pisses off our family, and it even pisses off ourselves. it affects every part of our life.
So adhd shitposts can be pretty relateable, even if you don’t have adhd. But if this list sounds familiar - if the contents of it happen to you to the point that you’re getting in trouble at school or your job and you’re pissing off your friends? might be worth looking into what’s going on with you.
bringing this back b/c at least 1 of every 15 rbs of the 7 ADHD Moods post is tagged ‘#i don’t have adhd but’.
There’s also some overlapping diagnoses that would make you think you may have ADHD, like Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Executive Functioning disorders.
^^^ yep, this! ESPECIALLY Autism/ASD. ADHD & ASD share a lot of symptoms.
& here’s some more stuff that can look like adhd - or that adhd can look like - but aren’t adhd:
auditory processing disorders
dyslexia
various learning disabilities
anxiety
depression
obsessive-compulsive disorder
bipolar disorder
under-educated/unpracticed in decision-making/critical thinking skills
something I’d like to make clear:
the OP post is aimed at people who are neurotypical & mentally healthy (or rather, people who believe they are NT & mentally healthy).
It’s a rebuttal to the deeply invalidating claim often thrown at ADHD people by (supposedly) NT people when ADHD people describe their symptoms: ‘I do that too.’ ‘everybody feels that way.’ ‘that’s normal.’
NT & mentally-healthy ppl adding/tagging posts about the experience of having ADHD by ADHD people with ‘I don’t have ADHD but I do this/I feel this’ is … very adjacent to the experience of being told ‘I do that too’/’that’s normal’/’everyone feels that way’ by NT & mentally well people IRL.
it’s often well-meaning, but it feels like ‘your diagnosis is BS’.
but of course, plenty of people who don’t have ADHD DO find ADHD symptoms relatable because of some other neurodiverse state or a mental illness. And they have absolutely no obligation to divulge that information in their tags/reblogs!
also: frankly, it’s wrong of me to assume that everyone who tags my ADHD posts ‘I don’t have ADHD but’ is NT &/or mentally healthy!
the takeaway I would like people to have from this post is:
if you think you are NT &/or mentally healthy but you strongly relate to significant numbers of posts made by neurodiverse &/or mentally ill ppl about their experiences: consider that you might not be as NT/mentally healthy as you believe.
if you think you are NT &/or mentally healthy but you strongly relate to and reblog posts made by nd &/or mentally ill ppl about their experiences: is it really so important to make sure everyone knows you’re not nd/mi? (besides, it’s not anybody’s business why you relate to/reblog a post if you don’t want to explain yourself. I’m not judging you - I promise!)
this is WAY LONG so I’ll probably make this addition into its own post later.
tl;dr: do what you want & like your own status :P
“no sense of time in relation to self (cannot effectively tell how long an activity will take or develop a sense of urgency based on a deadline until the deadline is perilously close or already passed)“ Holy shit this is me. It might be why I’m constantly late. I don’t do things until I really have to or past when I really have.
shout out to my fellow sexy bitches with adhd who use way more words than they really need to literally any time they write or type anything because their point has to come across 100% like they imagined it
ADHD got me like *straight up doesn’t do something if my brain decides it isn’t fun or immediately gratifying*
I’ve been drinking/getting high too often lately. I should take a week break but I’m afraid it’s gonna be hard. Being an adult and having a job means I can legally buy this shit too often.
