Where my ADHD peeps at?? Isn't it crazy to be able to hyper focus on something, with creativity that most people just can't even fathom and blazing mental speed, but you can't check the mail or wear matching socks? I love my brain sometimes and I can be super creative in ways that are very esoteric but ADHD also makes my life really loving hard sometimes. I don't think it's worse than my bipolar, I would say mostly not but there are times that it feels like an unfair burden. Anyway do you even "believe" in ADHD? There are plenty people who don't. Or at least don't approve of the treatments for it. It's quite controversial actually. I think goons are generally better than that but I'd be interested to hear the other side too.

coffee and other stimulants make me sleepy and apparently that's a really good indicator of ADHD

...another good indicator of ADHD is that I was dumb as poo poo as a kid bc I couldn't focus in school and got non stop bad grades while the teachers all went "I don't get it, he's so quiet in class how could he be failing?"

adhd isn't real because brains arent real, your skull is hollow and inside is a tiny man/demon who pilots you and if you can't pay attention it's because your head homunculus is agitated

You might have ADHD's basic bitch cousin, ADD. I have that one, it comes without the consistent hyperactivity. My sister just got diagnosed at 40 with ADHD because she's always gotta be extra.

Everything about hyper focusing is offset by u instantly losing orientation or any idea about wtf u were doing as soon as u step away from that task and come back to it

Technically it's all ADHD and it's either hyperactive or inattentive. I have inattentive. and I'm female so I definitely didn't get diagnosed as a kid. I was good at taking tests somehow though so I lucked out. I guess. Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I had never gone to school and spent my time finding a partner and raising kids or whatever. Would I be happier? No way to know for sure.

yea, i lucked out on the ability to take tests as well, because once i got my license and a car, i dont think i was ever there for first period, or most of the rest of em.

i often wonder what my life would have been like if i had gotten diagnosed as a kid and been medicated, but instead im an under-achieving piece of poo poo that will put everything off until the last minute

lol truth

this morning... god, somebody said something that was a joke about mishearing something from another language, and it made me think of L'Hôpital's Rule, because before I saw it written down I assumed L'Hôpital was a Chinese name because I misheard it as "Lopi Tau's Rule" and then I was like "drat what was L'Hôpital's Rule again?" so I looked it up and was nose deep in relearning sophomore calculus for like an hour and a half, but I had a quick appointment I had to get to and my ride wanted to get breakfast afterward at this new mexican place and I was like sure, and the place was super crowded, I got back to my house like an hour later, sat back down in front of my computer and was like "abuhhh?"

I've gotten better about this but I used to finish any long-term project in one long marathon of work because the idea of going back to something and picking up where I left off was that impossible
