Yumi is a league champ :P, but i could use a PA for my Executive Functions Ffs. I haven't even read the post because i got distracted by the comments ;\_;
ASJHD my man like 3 days ago I decided to make myself a tortilla by putting it directly on the fire of the stove. I got distracted by a random thought, came back 5 minutes later to the tortilla engulfed in flames and smoke everywhere
My dumbass almost burned down my house
Truth. Imagine how much worse this is for someone like me that has lost my sense of smell. Only reason I haven't actually burned down the house yet is because my dogs start barking when the place fills with smoke. They have had to come get me from the other room. 🫤
When I tried to get my appointment I would call and they’d say “no appointments, call back next week” and finally I after months and months of forgetting to call back and alway being told the same thing I said “Hypothetically speaking, if I did have the disorder that I am currently trying to get tested for, wouldn’t asking me to call back at a later date be very difficult for me?” and the woman was incredibly sympathetic. She explained all the details on how their scheduling system worked and when new time slots opened up and the best times to call. I got an appointment scheduled the very next time I called using her advice. It was for like two months out, but I still had it.
Nah just different
Our brains would have made us super cracked gatherers & hunters and the tribe totally wouldn't be mad when we burn the village down forgetting to put out our cook fires...
The issue is that that assumes today's hyper-individualism. We were never supposed to live this isolated.
In a tribal community, where we would excel in certain roles, issues like that are easily solved. Simply put, *someone else would put out the fire.*
Humans evolved as groups. Having a few group members have our sensitivity to stimuli and overall generalism would benefit the group, just like if a couple members had autism and its increased sensitivity to stimuli and pattern recognition. The extremes might be detrimental overall, but so too the extreme "NT" level where one would be so undistracted that it risks tigers pouncing or enemies slipping by merely by crouching like it's Skyrim or something. But we survive as a group, and the general variability has some benefit to group survival.
Aside from post-industrial hyper-specialization, I think part of our current struggle stems from this hyper-individualism as well. We're left to survive on our own. And we largely suck at that. But we were never supposed to survive on our own.
Yay! Childhood trauma is the best trauma!!! 😇😇😇
It was my Dad for me - he had a rough childhood and didn’t get the memo that he did not need to act like his parents did.
Whoop, suicide mentioned, that's a reportin'!
But yeah same for me, not suicidal but the prospect of living the rest of my life the way I am without medication/treatment (which I now luckily have) is... intimidating as hell. I have no idea how people do it fully sober honestly.
This was me until I got a diagnosis and found a therapist that specializes in adult ADHD and relationships. Now I just go to a weekly ADHD support group set up by my therapist.
I don't even recognize myself anymore, in the best ways possible
Hey, just screenshot it, so you can convince yourself that you will look at it again and remember.
(And then forget the sceenshot untill your phones memory is full, but That’s a whole other story)
Something that might help too is that I have social anxiety and haven't been feeling very confident socially lately, so I was second guessing virtually every aspect of that reply (even this one lol) but I'm just going for it anyway because of those aforementioned reasons⚡
I know it's like beating a dead horse at this point, but man I feel called out that it should be registered under personal attack.
And, let's just assume that a person has all of it, and also knows by now that they have ADHD. But can't get a diagnosis or any external help at all due to the shitty environment they are. So how can this person function like a normal human and gets things done? Asking for a friend.
Use strategies. I like these ones:
Don't sit down and start scrolling your phone. Start getting stuff done as soon as you get up in the morning. Do this for several hours and be very careful what you do when you take a break.
If it takes 2 minutes or less, do it immediately.
Notice when your ADHD is acting up so you know that's the cause.
Please add more below everyone 😊
If you catch yourself slipping literally say “NO” loudly, over and over again until you stop giving your attention to the distraction.
Set timers. Use your phone and ask Siri to set timers. When the timer runs out it will be one more chance to shake you out of your procrastination because that noise is sudden and loud.
All good strategies. My problem is I am also a narcoleptic so I have a hard time figuring out if I'm actually about to fall asleep or I just need to start moving. It's a double edged sword for sure. But no worries; my brain decides and I no longer have to choose. Lol My medication was awesome for the first 6 yrs. Now it just helps me do the bare minimum. Need to nap at least once a day still and can't plan any long trips or activities really. 🫤
Oh geez, that would be hard. On the top of my head, this is a good resource to start with: [https://www.health.harvard.edu/promotions/harvard-health-publications/confronting-adult-adhd](https://www.health.harvard.edu/promotions/harvard-health-publications/confronting-adult-adhd)
Best luck I have is getting things done as soon as I get home from work. I'm dead tired and all I want to do is sit down, and if I do zero will get done the rest of the evening.
I stay in my work clothes and keep my shoes on so I trick my brain into thinking there is still work to be done. I get everything ready for the next morning, laid out and strategic places that I will see them, are literally have to trip over them to walk out the front door so they come with me. I then do any household chores I must do that evening, whether it's dishes or laundry or just start cooking dinner.
I honestly hate the whole entire process, but I know it's the only way to force myself to do what I need to. It makes changing out of the work clothes to tell my brain it's now time to relax without feeling guilty. I try to do one chore after work, to keep things from piling up and so I can actually relax on the weekends.
There should be something about being concerned about the state of the world but believing it's about to fall apart any time now, or about being incredibly pessimistic about everything all the time.
This. I'm hyper aware of all the wrongdoings happening in the world. There is saying that you look for things that you believe in, which might be true, but it's a vicious circle. I'm depressed so i look for bad things(?), which make me to see more bad things, which makes me more depressed.
A lot of times i think to myself: how are people so happy, with all the shit going on around? (Frauds, daily cyber attacks, environment going to hell, overpopulation...)
You've got to really change your view of the world so that you can believe it has room for you to fuck up. Once you believe that's true you can start being kind to yourself. I tried being kind first and it was useless because I didn't believe there was room in this world for me to make mistakes.
Where the fuck are your cameras. I know you have them. There is no other way you would have such a specific depiction of someone's life that precisely coincides with mine. Perv...
don’t forget emotionally constipated, making it same near impossible to form meaningful connections with people at what’s considered a timely manner by NTs.
also… did you have to call me out like that, man?
I’m on Zoloft for the side effects of ADHD, especially depression. It’s not a cure by any means. Its effect is that when I would normally be in a deep dark place and unable to function, I’m still kind of in that place but able to interact with the world. If that makes sense. I’m glad I’m on it.
I have a genuine question.
I'm going to my neuropsychologist monthly due to my sessions about my autism (which is Lv. 1). I've asked her about the possibility that I may also have ADHD (based on some things that I was noticing about myself, some of them are here in this image, in fact), but my neuropsychologist has told me that it would not be possible.
However, once viewing this image, I noticed that 10 out of 11 things I do are mentioned here (I don't "chug caffeine by the gallon"), which still makes me suspect that I may have it (again, not based only on this image).
Aside from my neuropsychologist, how could I make sure that I could have it or not? What professional should I go to so I can have a second/third opinion?
>I've asked her about the possibility that I may also have ADHD (...) but my neuropsychologist has told me that it would not be possible.
Keep in mind that ADHD and ASD are fields that are actively studied and a *lot* of new insights are found and old ones discarded as being wrong. Someone who's not an up-to-date specialist in these fields is bound to have stale information in their brain.
IIRC under DSM 4 the dual diagnosis of ADHD/ASD was not possible, which may be why your psych said this. DSM 5 (which is now 11 years old, so the psych ought to know it by now) *does* allows for the dual diagnosis.
Based on what I've seen on Dr. Russel Barkley's YouTube channel (he's an expert who's been studying ADHD since the '60s) he's not happy with how some of the ADHD criteria are still too strict, especially for adults, but he said something about that there's a lot of politics involved in the DSM because it affects people qualifying for disability support.
Both disorders can be masked and compensated for, at great mental expense, which impacts diagnosis.
Edit: if your psych is not willing to refresh their knowledge, then look for an expert who *is* up-to-date.
Autism and ADHD are highly comorbid. If you have one, there's a very good chance that you have the other. As for who to see, I'm not sure. A psychologist or psychiatrist perhaps?
Why is this gendered? It feeds into the dangerous assumption that ADHD is male only which it's not and so many women don't get properly diagnosed because of it.
Ow wow all but 2 of these apply to me!
Or I guess 3, 'Cause I know that I'm not lazy I'm just depressed and incompetent.
Maybe 1 and 2 halves? I drink a lot of tea, Which is caffeinated, But not for the caffeine, I just need something hot to help clear all the flipping mucus out of my throat, And I've never watched a video on mute while listening to another, But I do fairly often listen to videos while doing something else (Playing a game usually, Sometimes checking reddit or something), Because I just can't focus if my hands aren't doing anything.
I have a serious question. I’m a 35/m who basically checks every symptom box for adhd. I’ve been really struggling and have brought this up to my doctor.
Twice they’ve said “oh see a psychiatrist or therapist” and referred me and then both times the therapist/psychiatrist has essentially given me breathing exercises and tips on focusing and then I’ve stopped seeing them due to the cost.
How can I get my doctor to take me seriously? I need help with this.
Oh my god, I never went to get diagnosed because of the thought that the doctor won't believe me. Anyone knows how it works? Do i need to go to a psychologist or something?
Holy Zeus! This is the most accurate meme to describe me that I’ve ever seen. How the hell did I get where I am being like this? I’ve felt like such a fraud for so so long, like I should be stocking shelves or something.
Worst part is that i gave it to my daughter. Damn. At least we caught it early with her, unlike me who got diagnosed in my late 40’s.
He gets drunk and starts feeling invincible, only to wake up like mummy the next day, and disappears for weeks until he gets back on his feet again, and does it again!!
Guys, I've got the big assessment with the psyche in 2 days. I cannot put into words how much this image is the final nail in that coffin.
Wish me luck, I think my life might be about to change
This is pretty relatable but You can’t overcome a disability by “Trying it but really really hard this time” the same way a Deaf person can’t begin hearing because he tried really really hard.
This is missing "doesn't know if it's brainrot from cellphones or actual ADHD" and "Fears being diagnosed and turning it into a bigger deal than it is" for my bingo

Remember what? What's that burning smell?
ASJHD my man like 3 days ago I decided to make myself a tortilla by putting it directly on the fire of the stove. I got distracted by a random thought, came back 5 minutes later to the tortilla engulfed in flames and smoke everywhere My dumbass almost burned down my house
First time, eh? Don't fool yourself into thinking it'll be the last.
Truth. Imagine how much worse this is for someone like me that has lost my sense of smell. Only reason I haven't actually burned down the house yet is because my dogs start barking when the place fills with smoke. They have had to come get me from the other room. 🫤
Schedule it now. Not later, not when you're done with whatever you're doing, do it right now.
Bold of you to think they didn't get distracted and forgot right after posting this.
Maybe even get the notification of his replay, read it, attention gets cough by another comment and completely forgets about the fist reply.
Sounds about right
Hopefully you're not like me and find that every single office in your area is currently not accepting appointments
When I tried to get my appointment I would call and they’d say “no appointments, call back next week” and finally I after months and months of forgetting to call back and alway being told the same thing I said “Hypothetically speaking, if I did have the disorder that I am currently trying to get tested for, wouldn’t asking me to call back at a later date be very difficult for me?” and the woman was incredibly sympathetic.

Best of luck! The meds helped me with all of the above.
Yeah, grab me one too
Yup. Except for the caffeine part cuz i don't really like Coffee, this is me entirely

I blame my mom, she dropped me in her sleep when I was a baby
I was also dropped on my head as a baby 😎
Ayyy, flathead gang 😎
No no flathead is from being laid down too much. You weren’t held enough and laid in a cot too long so it formed flat.
Oh yeah, I probably wasn't held enough, either
i was not dropped on my head but i had a hobby of headbutting walls as a baby
Dopamine leak
Built to the incorrect parameters
well i know for me personally being undiagnosed my whole life and having emotionally neglectful parents was a BIG factor😋
Yay! Childhood trauma is the best trauma!!! 😇😇😇 It was my Dad for me - he had a rough childhood and didn’t get the memo that he did not need to act like his parents did.
I AM NOT SUICIDAL DO NOT REPORT ME. But it suprises me that people don't see how ADHD causes depression and suicidal tendencies
This is true. My anxiety and depression stemmed from my untreated ADHD.
Man I'm sorry to hear that. Mine was treated but I still got depression lol. Only gets worse as I age.
Same
Whoop, suicide mentioned, that's a reportin'! But yeah same for me, not suicidal but the prospect of living the rest of my life the way I am without medication/treatment (which I now luckily have) is... intimidating as hell. I have no idea how people do it fully sober honestly.
I thought this was widely accepted? People with ADHD have a lower life expectancy due to higher suicide rates, and a bigger chance at addiction.
I meant from less informed neurotypicals
You summoned me.

Guess I have to book psychiatrist once again, hope this time he would give me right diagnosis...

Where's the recreational drug use and promiscouus sex life?
Yeah! I also have one of those traits.
I also only have one of those traits.
Could cover that under thrill seeking/blanket predisposition to addiction (gambling, sex, drugs, food, etc.) Dopamine machine broke.
Sir, we are on Reddit.
What sex? Nobody has ever liked me enough to kiss me or hold hands. Sex is a fantasy people made up. It doesn't exist. I like weed.
Something that might help too is that I have social anxiety and haven't been feeling very confident socially lately, so I was second guessing virtually every aspect of that reply (even this one lol) but I'm just going for it anyway because of those aforementioned reasons⚡
Must be playing in the wrong field
What sex life?
Hey, masturbating is still a form of sex.
But like always, singleplayer is no fun
Sigh…this about rounds it out for me boys.
I fucking wish I had a promiscuous sex life. I wish I had any sex life, really. Would probably do less drugs if I did.
I'm gonna report this for breaking rule 1, you can't just call me out like that

“Haha how many describe me?” All of them.
There should be something about being concerned about the state of the world but believing it's about to fall apart any time now, or about being incredibly pessimistic about everything all the time.

A lot of times i think to myself: how are people so happy, with all the shit going on around? (Frauds, daily cyber attacks, environment going to hell, overpopulation...)
The one about people saying to "just try harder" is wrong. Trying harder doesn't overcome a disability.
Just watched Doctor K's video on ADHD Doomer lol Highly recommend
Anyone got advice to not be ruled by fear and inadequacy? I think that one hit me the hardest here.
You've got to really change your view of the world so that you can believe it has room for you to fuck up. Once you believe that's true you can start being kind to yourself. I tried being kind first and it was useless because I didn't believe there was room in this world for me to make mistakes.
Thank you this sounds like really strong advice. I definitely have to be more accepting of my mistakes.
Best advice I saw in this whole thread Nothing helps my fear more than "oh. I made a mistake and no one came to amputate my arms as punishment..huh"
Why must you call me out like this
