I don't think I have ADHD but this is basically the summary of my life

[–] BlueRingedOctopus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Half the things people call "ADHD problems" is just perfectly normal human behaviour

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 3 points 9 hours ago

yeahhhhhhh as a counselor with ADHD it is a major pet peeve of mine reading just about anything ADHD-related on social media

[–] SupremeDonut@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 hours ago

When I read something and lose my place 💁

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

this isn't really a primary feature of ADHD. i guess one could argue it's a secondary effect

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

This is basigally the summary of my life and now I think Ido have ADHD

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago

I'm in this pic and I hate it. I would have like 20 albums written if I would just sit down and turn the clever concept/title and couple of stanzas into an actual fucking song. Instead what I do is open GDrive and get paralyzed at the sight of the burgeoning directory structure and immediately log off, if I even get that far.

[–] LaoisheFu@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

I feel this and I'm not adhdt(to my knowledge)

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 8 hours ago

Oh man I think about this a lot. I have some thoughts.

  1. The more complicated of a system, the less likely you are to use it.
  2. Complicated systems are self defeating.
  3. A system you use is always better than a perfect system you don't.

I try to make notes about where my previous notes are when I make new ones so I don't lose them.

I try to keep one or two physical ways to jot things down. I use a boogie board and a pocket journal. I use a disposable flimsy one. The temporary look of it helps me not treat it as some perfect log book that needs a perfect system. Avoid any and all "bullet journaling" tips lol. That's a road to complexity. My system is:

  1. If I need to remember something, I write it down.
  2. If I don't need to remember it anymore, I cross it out. If a page has nothing I need to remember and no real room for new still, I rip it out.

For digital notes I use Google Keep on my phone and an Obsidian Workplace in a synced folder for Google Drive. I DO NOT stress about making perfectly organized Obsidian documents that link to each other. I just write what I need as I need it. My Obsidian stuff is a little more organized but I sort of haven't used it in a while.

All forms of this is your way of communicating with your future self and how your future self will look for messages from you. Viewing it like this helps make it clear what sort of things you need to keep track of and also sort of sounds cool so it makes it exciting.

I have 1192 tabs open in my mobile browser. I hope, I read all those articles in this lifetime.

Before, I was able to read so much. I finished Count of Montecristo in 10 days. Nowadays, I can't even read more than 3 pages a day.

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 12 points 16 hours ago

Probably about 50% of the recipe pages that I have bookmarked aren't even online any more.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 17 points 17 hours ago

This is my second time bookmarking this meme.

…I can’t find the first.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

I've got 19,347 links saved in my current Read Later app. How often do I actually open it to get back to something? At most once a month for one thing, usually less.

I'd recommend you to start cleaning it up, I used to let these lists grow until one day I decided to clean them up, sadly a lot of the links got expired or the companies running those websites got shut down 😞

@PugJesus

I don't have ADHD but this is 100 % me 😁

Sometimes I'm even relieved when my browser crashes and all open tabs are lost 💀

[–] PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I have 5 google drives at 100% capacity with the images I save.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

I pay for google 1 storage so I can keep my meme archive going. Idk what I'll do when I run out

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 36 points 21 hours ago (7 children)

My life hack for that is to just never close any tabs.

(Reboots)

Browser: There are 496 tabs in your previous session. Are you sure you want to restore?

Me: Did I stutter?

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 10 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

You: Did I stutter?

Browser: No but your computer/phone is about to.

[–] rirus@feddit.org 6 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Those are rookie numbers I have over thousands.

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Those 5GB of ram being permanently screaming at me wanting to be closed...

[–] TheFrogThatFlies@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

In Firefox search for restore_tabs_lazily in about:config.

[–] ExtantHuman@lemm.ee 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Browsers have been sleeping inactive tabs for years now.

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Don't worry, they are all sleeping.

Warn me before you come for me...lol.

[–] Senseless@feddit.org 11 points 18 hours ago

Could you stop calling me out pls?

[–] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 29 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

Is this a AHDH thing? I thought everbody did this.

[–] Beldarofremulak@discuss.online 41 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

You get more engagement if you attribute your memes subject to mental health.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

That’s one way of looking at this if your mindset is negativity.

I prefer to exercise positive intent and I see this as possibly someone with ADHD not knowing whether this particular trait is their ADHD or just a thing.

I have ADHD and I am often like this, it makes you question your identity, especially if diagnosed later in life like me.

Sure many ADHD traits are occasionally experience by non-neurodivergent people, but that doesn’t mean they don’t affect ADHD people in a debilitating way.

It’s like heart palpations can be a sign of a heart attack or a panic attack.

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 9 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Exactly.

Sure many ADHD traits are occasionally experience by non-neurodivergent people,

They key is "occasionally" - for someone with ADHD these traits are pretty much constant, never go away. Medication and practice may reduce their impact, and you may find ways to mitigate/compensate, but the underlying trait is always there, waiting for you to become complacent.

A neurotypical person rarely understands how much effort is put in just for something mundane.

No I don’t think I will.

The fuck are you?! You either put across a point as to why you object to my comment or you go eat a bag of dicks.

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I do not have ADHD.

I do not do this.

I keep everything open as live tabs.

I hope I put the right tags or keywords in the thing that I save cause that's the only way I'm ever finding it again

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 14 points 21 hours ago (6 children)

Anyone else keep those screenshots they accidentally take of their home screen because they know they'll drunkenly accidentally delete an icon on their home screen and have no idea what icon is missing because they never use it but they e grown accustomed to it and want it back the way it was?

Just me?

Pinterest. My boards are full of diy project ideas and recipes that I will never look at again, but I keep clicking and saving.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

If and when you get around to looking at it, you’ll love everything you see. A mood hack I discovered is to look at saved posts in a random order, because I forget about everything, so it’s like a perfectly curated feed.

Only a decade? Noob.

[–] MigratingApe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 17 hours ago

Wait… I just realized… Is this Pedro Pascal?! All this time I didn’t recognize him in this meme!

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 5 points 19 hours ago

I've started browsing my bookmarks instead of browsing sociao media for this reason

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

I’ve hit the limit on safari tabs on my phone multiple times. When you open something in a new tab at that point, it just cannibalizes a tab you haven’t visited recently, but you can use the back button to find out what it was.

I think of them as little treasure troves.

[–] Crikeste@lemm.ee 1 points 14 hours ago

I really need to see a psychiatrist
