Most of these hit close to home, except that I'm obsessively punctual, check my messages even when there are no new notifications and my file system is a work of art that I can spend hours organizing. But that goddamn chair though...

I am also obsessively punctual, and I use a planner well. Other than that.... yeah.

That's... That's adhd? Like, I'm all of that. I don't think I have adhd.

[–] Lumun@lemmy.zip 41 points 10 months ago (1 children)

As others said, these are mostly all signs of some kind of executive dysfunction. Mine is from depression, not ADHD, but there's a lot of overlap. I obsessively keep my inbox empty which is a whole 'nother vibe

It’s definitely a result of poor executive functioning, which is a major symptom of ADHD. But that does not mean you have it. Just that these experiences are very common for people with ADHD brains.

[–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 20 points 10 months ago (5 children)

It could be adhd, could be nothing, could be autism (poor executive function can be part of that). But it’s clear that you have the opportunity to get tested and improve your QoL. Your decision.

Excessive number of open tabs, anyone?

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 16 points 10 months ago

Excessive tabs spanning across multiple browsers. Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. All at least 50 tabs opened

[–] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I am at a smiley face number of tabs on my phone:

I learned that my phone's browser will only allow 99 tabs. Unless they've updated that.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Beyond 99 it just shows a frowning emoji.

[–] troglodytis@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Excessive? No. Just the right amount: all of them

You got to do what I do. Just delete everything and regret it later.

That’s a whole ‘nother level right there.

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago (4 children)

All these are accurate for me except I've graduated the chair to an over-sized under-bed drawer, all my bills are automated, and I have a car that has a proximity key so it always stays in my pocket (and I wear the same pants for a couple weeks on end).

But yeah, those are just learned coping mechanisms.

instead of The Chair I have The Floor

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Idk your age, but I personally upgraded from The Floor™ to The Chair™ in my mid 30s.

[–] nottheengineer@feddit.de 8 points 10 months ago

Good to know, I can put it off for a few more years then.

You guys don't get a compulsion to get rid of any notification or mark emails as read the moment they come through?

Also you guys get messages on social media?

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

I can relate to that last part... except on lemmy, I get plenty of messages here :)

Those social media notifications are not accurate. I always check my notifications. My notifications bar is clean. I think this "meme" is wrong

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Also, I have thousands of unread emails not because I have adhd but because I sign up for random newsletters that seem cool but then I quickly... lose... interest. Oh, I might have adhd.

Multiple alarms in the morning is more about not getting enough sleep than it is about ADHD. The rest are pretty accurate, though some things are missing.

Unless you woke up early to get stuff done and that's to remind you to leave for work lol

Nothing about that is exclusive to ADHD though. That literally could just be anybody

If I have multiple files or folders named like that it's usually because I'm working on something and frustrated. They eventually devolve into profanity lol

I didn't know I had ADHD until I saw this. Dang.

[–] gloriousspearfish@feddit.dk 29 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This is not a diagnosis test. You do not have ADHD just because this described you. However if you have ADHD there is a high likelihood that this describes you.
