The lighter side of ADHD
It's thinking about what you could / should be doing, and then realizing you've been staring at a wall for half an hour.
It's hearing Step 3 and panicking because you had a question about Step 2, but maybe they'll answer it later on so you don't want to interrupt and- oh we're on Step 7 now.
It's wanting to listen to some music, and spending the next several hours deciding on the perfect playlist.
Wanting to listen to some music -> picking your favourite songs in the ideal order for perfect vibe graphing -> realizing your music player doesn't do gapless playing which is necessary for a perfect experience -> looking up C++ tutorials so you can fork your music player and add gapless playing -> it's suddenly 2032
Absolutely brilliant comment.
The worst thing is when it actually happens. You'd think you'd be prepared. And yet...
Cause it always happens right after you finally manage to convince yourself that you're overthinking things and that you're looking too deep into it. And thennn....
When I was young, I got diagnosed with depression and GAD.
A few years later I got the ADHD diagnosis. I almost definitely need an increased dosage now (I've been on this dose for 7ish years and I've noticed difficulty, getting worse).
Holy shit does Adderall regulate all that stuff. I can fo isolate my mind to actually important things like work.
Once it wears off at night though? It's like a giant ugly muscle man dude knocks are my house door and says "Room service!" Breaking down the door and proceeds to smash anxiety and grief back into my brain.
Lol, the reason I dread opening my work email every morning
