I'd watch a Procrastinator movie ... like tomorrow or the day after.
What does "They thought of doing it makes me crazy" mean? What is "it"? Who are "they"? Why did "they" think of me doing "it"?
The thought of doing something, I'm assuming it's a typo.

And Bingo was his name-o
do i get a bingo if my first thought was "i don't think i really want to read all those little squares"
A bingo? You poor sweet summer child...
in my defense my ritalin hadn't kicked in yet when I saw this meme 🤪
Feeling like a child in an adult body
Is this an ADHD thing?
If the reason for it is that adults are supposed to get shit done and you can't
Agreed. I do feel like I'm a child but I didn't think it was ADHD related.
It's because I can't get anything done as an adult. I have to pay quarterly taxes and it never happens on time so I get a penalty every year.
Just one example.
What do you get for a daub in every single square, and where do I go to collect my winnings?
My results.
That isn't bingo so you are doing fine!
True. But when you have 6 chances to get a bingo though...
Six is the actual threshold of clinical criteria for a diagnosis
I also had more than half marked off but did not get a bingo.
This is literally me, just the entire thing :3
and bingo was his name-o!
Did you turn the outline of the center star into a stencil in GIMP and then use that to stamp the other squares?
no I used the star tool in ms paint
I feel like that's an instant bingo.
Especially if they were at work at the time.
What does poor internal self talk mean here? Thinking badly about yourself? Not making coherent sentences in your thoughts? Something else?
/makes a small mistake
"Why am I such a piece of shit? I don't deserve anything nice because I'm the worst."
Yeah so all of these apply. It’d make more sense to do this daily. That way some of them might not be there lol
Edit: except sticky notes. I take my notes on hundreds of different notebooks and note taking apps then forget where they wrote everything, like a sophisticated person lol
I got a bingo down the center. Does that count as a diagnosis?
All checks out but I'm calling bullshit. The column with "called annoying" is paired with exclusively annoying behaviours (and being sleep deprived or understimmed always leads to annoying someone). The game is rigged.
Double bingo. Yay me.
Edit: triple, I didn't even notice the diagonal
Im finally good at something.
Didn't get a bingo!
Wait... Was I supposed to circle the ones I do relate to?! Dammit.
