ADHD memes

All you can do is see if treatment helps or not, but if they are character flaws, but you have a desire to change them, and ADHD treatment helps you do that, then what does it really matter.

That's what I tell myself because I lived most of my life with a family that didn't believe in mental health issues and I was brainwashed that I was just a bad, flawed person. When it comes to the Autism its a different story because there is no treatment for adults and it's nearly impossible to get into the one clinic that offers diagnoses for adults, so I still struggle with believing I have it despite the big list of evidence I compiled and the fact that my neurodivergent friends always assumed I did and didn't know I didn't know. LOL

Nah, I definitely have ADHD because otherwise my amphetamines wouldn't be acting as a sleep aid.

Me every time I have a day when I actually get shit done.

Something like ADHD is notably difficult to diagnose because its symptom behaviors are things that other people also experience, just less frequently or severely. Everyone has limited executive function, spaces out, forgets things, becomes restless, procrastinates, etc. to some degree. So it's difficult to notice the point where it crosses the threshold of interfering with a healthy life.

It is entirely reasonable to wonder if you've been misdiagnosed as having it, just like a neurotypical person may wonder if they have ADHD from normal experiences. It's not like we have another life to compare ours to.

Maybe it's the mix of autism and ADHD but I don't relate to not doing tasks or delaying them. I have to do them now and then, likely the OCD taking over

This is my daily as I struggle to find a medication that does ANYTHING for me. Maybe it's just all me.

For me it's kind of the opposite. I have always been extremely hard on myself in every area of my life and to some extent I still am. But realizing that some of the difficulties I'm dealing with may be due to me having undiagnosed ADHD, is such a relief. It doesn't fix me. It doesn't really change anything, but it gave me the ability to forgive myself for some of the things I'm not good at or fuck up.

Sometimes you do your best and it's not really good enough, but it was the best you could do and that is okay. Life is a bit easier to live when you accept that you are a turtle and not a bird, so you don't have to constantly try and learn how to fly.

I have ADHD. All of my failings in life ARE my fault.

My symptoms may be the reason for a lot of the issues I have, but they aren’t an excuse. I can and have overcome all of them at some time given the right circumstances and/or medication. Sometimes I just don’t want to. Sometimes I chose to hyper focus on a video game for 6 hours instead of doing the chore that would take 10 minutes that I have been dreading for 2 days. Sometimes I like starting a new project instead of finishing an old one.

It’s just part of who I am.

I mean...ADHD or not, your life is generally in your own hands, both successes and failures are your "fault". The ADHD doesn't take the responsibility, it only adds context.

I have a subset of this problem where I think I might be faking imposter syndrome so that people will think I actually know what I'm doing.

I will beat your fucking ass if you come at me like this again.
