Teacher: Ok class you are going to *brain stops precessing their words as sounds and it turns into unintelligible gibberish* ok, go
Me: what?
Me: my job is kinda boring but it isn’t the worst
Me also: being bored is literally worse than dying
rational me: maybe i should put this away properly then it’s sorted
adhd me: nahhh just throw it on the floor and leave it there for the next few months
adhd is constantly flip-flopping between confusion and hyperawareness
Some days I feel like a moron coasting through life and not comprehending a single thing anyone has ever said to me and other days I feel like one of the great philosophers of yore. It’s such a crap shoot.
When your neurodivergent brain™️ decides that you have to do a certain thing before doing anything else but you don’t want to or can’t do the thing so you get stuck and do nothing
adhd culture is rewinding something because you stopped paying attention and missed a bit, then forgetting to pay attention to the bit you missed and having to rewind it again, then forgetting to pay attention to the bit you missed and having to rewind it again, then forget-
adhd culture is fucking up, feeling horribly guilty, and then forgetting that you fucked up.
five hours later you remember and have the whole crisis again
rinse and repeat
the fun part about having adhd where your brain won’t cooperate with you because the task at hand is too easy and therefore too boring and undeserving of your screwed up attention span
me: cooome on, i promise it’ll only take a few minutes!!!!!
my brain:
i wish i were at least the kind of procrastinator who’s actually doing something else instead of the thing they’re supposed to do but NO! don’t even have that excuse!!! i really just sit around and feel guilty. that’s all i do!!! peak dumbass mood
ADHD culture is never doing a second draft ever
We submit our first drafts in their unedited glory like men
adhd culture is having so many problems with society’s concept of a “work ethic” but still wanting to punch someone in the face if they think you’re lazy or incapable
the big depression + adhd mood is constantly staying up because you need to do something but not doing in because you’re too mentally and physically exhausted and then the cycle just worsens
Good evening adhders, and welcome back to our scheduled programming. Tonight’s feature:
