ADHD memes

The more that I read about ADHD, the more I think that I should get checked out for it.

30 seems like only yesterday

Sometimes I have bursts of this in the middle of the night.

lol 30. Hitting 41 and still don’t get it. But 42 will show me the meaning of life and everything.

Suddenly realize as a 24 year old i might be really young for lemmy. Every one is above 30s lol

Edit: and most seem to be ADHD, questioning what am i doing here.

yep, but ADHD is not a disability. Right? Everyone is sometimes unorganized or slacks around for a day...

/s just to be extra sure.

There’s a part I need to install in my car. The box has been sitting right next to the front door for two weeks…I’ll knock it out over the weekend I promise

(Narrator: He will in fact most likely watch hockey and drink beer on the couch)

37. Going to die alone and worthless

Like when you set some important object down in a random spot and genuinely believe you'll remember where it is when you need it again, in spite of this never working ever.

edit: for reference, seconds after posting this I looked to the left and noticed the lovely piece of pie I brought in here with my tea about a half hour ago. I've almost finished my tea.

The best part is being 53 and still totally believing it every single day. I'm going to absolutely crush tomorrow!!!

Yeah, I fucking wish I was only 30.

My former doctor: "Ya. You probably have ADHD but you're fine. You've learned to cope with it."

Me: Drinking half a bottle of Jim Beam every night to "cope".

Side note: nice seeing you around again Stamets. The meme quality was suffering in your absence.

I got a referral to get screened, but they never submitted the referral. I followed up about 8 months later at my annual physical, because that's kind of how this works. My doc asked if I went, I said I never got a call from them, and she said I should have called sooner and not wait so long, which is mildly infuriating given the nature of the condition I think I have. After my apt, they sent off a referral and told me I could expect a call within a few days. It never came, so I messaged my physicians office a couple of weeks later and they gave me the number of the center to call and follow up on the referral, which is now months later and not done. I know I just have to make a call, but it feels damn near like the hardest thing I need to do. I'm also heavily considering changing physicians. The first slip up is infuriating, but whatever, it's easier to stay than switch doctors. However, the response I received telling me to follow up on the referral that the doctor's office submitted feels like someone who didn't want to deal with me.

Anyway... 35 here and it gets worse each year, so I really do need to follow up and at least see if it's something I can get meds for, or if I'm just screwed up and need to just "cope" until I die. The alcohol consumption will probably ensure that I'm not old and decrepit, so I've got that going for me.

I work a job where I deal with a lot of deadlines. I've never missed one, but my priority schedule works on a FAFO basis. We FA until it comes to being almost time to FO, and we really don't want to FO.

So then I tear ass through my tasks until I've done two weeks worth of work in an afternoon lol

So, uh, serious question. Is it not like this for everyone?

Shit

Mid-40s like most everyone else here apparently

Just found out I'm autistic. Pretty sure I'm ADHD too...
