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.
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.
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.
don't diagnose based on memes. see a professional
Excessive number of open tabs, anyone?
Excessive tabs spanning across multiple browsers. Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. All at least 50 tabs opened
I learned that my phone's browser will only allow 99 tabs. Unless they've updated that.
Excessive? No. Just the right amount: all of them
All true, except those unread email/notifications are rookie numbers.
🙈
Pfff....
You got to do what I do. Just delete everything and regret it later.
That’s a whole ‘nother level right there.
No flat surface is safe.
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.
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.
I'm in this picture and I have mostly come to terms with it.
instead of The Chair I have The Floor
Idk your age, but I personally upgraded from The Floor™ to The Chair™ in my mid 30s.
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?
I can relate to that last part... except on lemmy, I get plenty of messages here :)
Jokes on you, I have The Heap™
It's like a chair but without the chair as chairs take up extra space
Those social media notifications are not accurate. I always check my notifications. My notifications bar is clean. I think this "meme" is wrong
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.
Here's a notification for youu 😁
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
I didn't know I had ADHD until I saw this. Dang.
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.
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 don't wanna talk about it :(
Yeah, but you ever set an alarm for 4am, pop meds and then go back to sleep and have godlike vivid dreams?
I upgraded "the chair™" to "the basket™" which makes it seem like i have "my shit together™"
Don't be putting my life style choices into an acronym.
I prefer - being a hero against the ever expanding entropy death of the universe.
This. Is. My. Life.
The lighter side of ADHD
