Oh shit, is that a sign of ADHD? This happens to me a lot and it's really tough to overcome, I end up jumping between tasks to do something else, remember the important scary thing, stare at it for a bit then task bounce again.

Sign of anxiety, not necessarily ADHD.

Those two pair really well, like canned cheese and strawberry wine.

ADHD: Your memory is now crap and little shots of dopamine hit with new things, causing concentration to change unwillingly.

GAD: Notice all the things and above all fear everything, especially what will interrupt me next

So it's certainly a sign of anxiety but not necessarily ADHD? That's what you said there. It's not necessarily either.

They often present together, and definitely have a positive feedback loop between them.

Which is why the distinction. Just like sniffles are not necessarily a cold and coughing isn't necessarily covid.

Sign of executive dysfunction, which can arise as the result of ADHD, anxiety, or other disorders.
