#adhd shitpost
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

–galaxy brain: i was listening to the lecture but the prof said something that reminded me of something else and now i’m not sure how much time i was lost in thought
–the tutorial only comes in video format: i’m sorry, but you’ve thrown off the emperor’s groove *hurls product & its tutorial video into the sun*
–damn you hyperfocus: i went to bed intending to wake up and write but this morning i was possessed by a cleanliness spirit and spent the next 14 hours organizing the apartment
–i dont think u tried at all.jpg: did i seriously spend an entire free day refreshing twitter b/c i didn’t want to spend 10 minutes finishing my hw but wouldn’t let myself do anything else until i finished it???? (yes)

#this is the post that made someone message me saying i was stereotyping adhders#when i have adhd and identity with all of this
cowards can come @ me, the OP, if they got a problem with this post b/c all of these are literally about me
*more proof i have adhd. i do all of these*
#i’d be more interested to see if there’s anyone who doesn’t identify with literally all of these#isn’t this just the normal human experience (via nomette)
it kind of is! but it also kind of isn’t.
let me point you to a post I hope everybody who doesn’t have ADHD (but finds this post relateable) will read:
✨ why adhd shitposts can be pretty relatable even if you don’t have adhd ✨
tl;dr version:
- almost everyone suffers from attention deficiency from time to time. neurotypical people daydream through class, forget why they unlocked their phone, make impulsive purchases, procrastinate on things they don’t want to do, etc.
- these lapses in self-control, attentiveness, & executive function become diagnosable as ADHD when they happen so much & so severely that it disrupts a person’s quality of life.
and PS: these ‘adhd moods’ are not the only moods adhd people have (somebody tagged this post #this is time blindness erasure and I laughed)!
also, these moods can be super relateable to people with other kinds of executive dysfunction!
also to people on the autism spectrum! (Asperger’s and ADHD in particular have very similar symptom profiles!)
neurodivergence & neurodiversity is WILD y’all, our brains go H A R D in some awesome(ly weird???) ways
dropping plurals off word or forgetting to type entire words bc can never type as fast as ur brain churns out new ideas
i still think this is the funniest shitpost ive ever made tbh
[ID: 2 pictures from a popular conspiracy theory meme post.
picture 1: a guy with a cigarette in his mouth, clearly distressed, in front of a ‘conspiracy theory’ board covered with papers and string connecting the papers together to show their relationship.
Text [with drawn arrows pointing to the ‘conspiracy theory’ board]: “My ADHD brain making connections”
Text [with drawn arrow pointing to the distressed man]: “me”
picture 2: guy holding a coffee mug, mouth hanging open, looking confused and mildly concerned. it’s implied he’s looking at the conspiracy theory guy in the first picture.
Text: “everyone else”]
me: why do i get so particularly upset by being called stupid???
epiphany brain: because even though you know that you forget things, emotionally overreact, and do things in unusual orders because of adhd, you still feel like doing those things makes you ‘stupid’
epiphany brain: and that belief is validated every time somebody calls you stupid
me:
me:h
me:how dare you call me out like this
> writes down task
> thinks task will be remembered because of writing it down
> forgets task & loses paper task was written on
