things that i Didn’t 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 can’t stop themselves??? yeah that’s vocal stimming
getting unnecessarily angry or sad,, who knew huge mood swings were from my adhd hell brain
being brain dead all day until it’s bedtime and suddenly you’re kept awake for hours by thoughts and you’re 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 it’s like mid afternoon and i Realize,, i didn’t have lunch
but on the flip side eating the same thing every. single. day. u can’t not eat it. i’ve 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,,, it’s 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 there’s a mess i am just 👩🦯👩🦯
brain shutdown after a certain time. this is the wildest thing, like if i need to do something but haven’t done it before a certain time, i’ll just think “well it’s too late now” 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 “work mode” 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 “adhd culture things” but these are experiences that me and a lot of other people i talk to w adhd share 😔
