The laundry was just an example. Apply having problems to every activity, even those that you like to do. Helping others serves as an external source of motivation on which ADHD people thrive. Our brains have problems with motivating us/our body to do things that we want to do without some kind of external pressure/motivation. I don't remember the specifics properly although I watched videos on that ~7 days ago for the x damn time. Here are videos explaining what I was trying explain in more detail: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3
You just linked over an hours worth of video with only a vague description as to why someone should watch them...to an audience of ADHD people. Would you care to place a wager on many people will watch them? ๐๐๐
Meh, it's split into 3 separate videos and my description is vague because my memory is garbage.
Your memory is garbage you say? Mine too :(
Check other memes/screenshots on the sub and and if you relate to most of them and do stuff in them way more often than average person then you may have an undiagnosed ADHD or other disorder with similar symptoms.
It's not undiagnosed. It's very obvious I have adhd. Didn't figure it out until I was like 25-26 though. College was rough having undiagnosed adhd.
Yeah, obviously laundry isn't my only problem. It seeps into every aspect of my life. Motivation to do stuff is usually not high unless it's new to me.
