#adhd problems
[IMAGE ID: tweet from ‘freetofic’ reading:
“ADHD culture is not knowing:
-when to ask for help b/c ‘overwhelmed w/things to do’ is your normal, default state
-how to ask for help b/c you don’t even know how to describe what needs doing, so organizing the help would be more work than just doing it yourself”

friend in my DMs: hi
my adhd-induced anxiety: shit. why are they texting me? did I forget to call them? did we have plans? did they ask me for something & I never replied? did I borrow something and never return it? what did I do wrong?????
me: im sorry
- a messenger app that puts all the unread, unanswered messages from every single app on one screen and automatically hides the messages after I’ve replied to them
- updating a calendar in an organizational app automatically updates the main phone calendar. updating the main phone calendar automatically updates all the organizational app calendars. updates both ways
- a habit-forming app like habitica except that level-ups stop getting further and further apart after like, level 10
- and you always get the same amount of gold for doing a repeating task, forever
- with like. periodic extra rewards for hitting a streak of a certain length
- collectibles
- the entire game is just eggs & animal food
- maybe cross-breeding for cooler eggs? idk
- an app that after you snooze an item a certain number of times to put it off it stops letting you do that. the notification doesn’t go away until you do it or you explain why you’re putting it off again in text ( 50-word count minimum)
- related: an app where if you don’t put a due date on a task, it tells you how long it’s been since you added the task to the app. the oldest task is always first. and the ‘how long it’s been’ part gets redder and bigger the longer it’s been, so like a 20-day-old task is like “20 DAYS AGO” in 48-pt font next to the task name
- a calendar app that opens itself after I turn off my alarm, shows me my schedule for the day, and walks me through my morning routine, and can’t be closed until all my morning tasks are done
- the app is open for a minimum of 10 minutes OR you can’t move from one task to the next in less than a minute
- an app that does literally any of these tasks and doesn’t charge by subscription
- i see you taking advantage of the fact that i’ll forget to turn off the subscription for like 10 years after i stop using the app
- i see you, organizational app makers. i see you

Just a reminder that this project is still in the works! I’m thinking about posting some of the pictures I have of the project on Tumblr, so people can see what I’m trying to accomplish and offer their own ideas.
YO THIS IS STILL HAPPENING
Credit to @thunder-the-wolf for sticking this out so long!
Nothing like when you have 1000+ hobbies and can’t focus on finishing 1 task. ADHD sometimes can be a double edged sword, in my case both sides are my multiple skills and languages vs my inability to finish tasks because they’re not as appealing as they could be. What about you?
A little ADHD life hack for when Executive Dysfunction is making task completion difficult.
A messier comic for messy feelings.
Being undiagnosed most of my life was difficult. I was dealing with anxiety, adhd and trauma as a young child and I felt so alone and misunderstood. It wasn’t fair. I was only a child.
Another example of how “out of sight, out of mind” affects me. Unless it’s something I’m REALLY looking forward to, I often forget it’s even supposed to be arriving if it takes longer than a week or so.
ADHD, Dysgraphia and Notetaking
#adhd and vague posting
I’ve noticed I get pretty bold when it comes to talking about things I can do, but when I need to deliver…oops.
ADHD and Obligations
ADHD and Reading

Having a conversation when you have Adhd and Auditory Processing issues be like:
its so shiddy when u have to convince yourself to do your hobbies. like, its fun, you like it, why cant you just do it. do it. do it. but what if…. mindless media consumption instead….
