ADHD memes

The problem is that the symptoms of adhd are things that everyone experiences. What makes it adhd is the frequency, severity, and it negatively affecting their lives.

This is a common issue amungst people who randomly happen across here.

Going pee isn’t anything to be concerned about, but if you’re doing it 60 times a day, it’s probably something to look into. This applies to any symptom and why ADHD is typically glossed over like you’re doing.

No feathers ruffled.

A lot of ADHD symptoms are variants on normal burn out. The difference is the trigger level and severity.

By analogy, it's like going for a run. Everyone gets tired etc. ADHD is like going for a run with an invisible parachute deployed behind you. You can still run, but it's exhausting. You are also a lot more prone to being knocked about by cross winds etc. Unfortunately, without a sense of scale, the problems all sound like the same issues a normal person has running.

"I can't wear mismatched socks! I'm so OCD!"

I feel the same way sometimes.

My unscientific and uninformed observation is that social media, especially TikTok and Reels seem to mess with peoples’ dopamine reward systems and cause them to become very impulsive and have short attention spans. Either that or literally every single one of my coworkers under 30 also have ADHD.
