Rooted in trauma..... I feel we are heavily influenced by our environment and when our environment becomes toxic, we become toxic. As much as we try to maintain our own individuality, the world around us becomes a weight. I feel the era we live in is a world of mass surveillance and the loss of autonomy. I think that the rising developments of big tech and its influence on our lives mixed with the ever-increasing school shootings should tell us that our children are a perfect indicator that our society is becoming ever increasingly more antisocial. It's a slow global fascist coup Increasing exponentially.. who are now hammering the last nail in the neoliberal coffin as the Western world prepares for global techno fascism. They've done studies on these mass shooters and some of them have not had any prior mental health issues documented. Also, the people around them, some didn't suspect a thing. Basically what I'm saying is psychologists are saying that they don't have mental health issues. And I question if all these mental health tags are just handicaps to survive the techno-capitalist-fascist world that's ahead of us. I also believe two things can be right at the same time. That is all.
Doesn't everyone have many of those things?
Take your medicine
Yes, that's how syndromes work. Having one or two of these things is expected. Having half of them isn't.
To further this point, having half of these things can also be a thing for non adhd people... But, like most neurological diversities, it's how often they occur and how much they impact your life that makes the difference.
Everyone forgets their wallet/keys/phone/glasses from time to time... When you forget multiple times a week forever? It's different
Most people have attention spans with limits.
Seems like the byproduct of a financial system in decay. Sounds like we live a mathmatical exponential function that feeds on the blood of the innocent, that corrupts all as it spits in the face of the natural hierarchy. Sound like repression, anxiety, alienation and depression. Sounds like predatory medical conformity of a institution that was once looked a as virtued. The beatings will continue until the moral improves...SOUNDS LIKE BULLSHIT NOW TAKE YOUR MEDICINE
but also hypersexuality makes us gods in bed.
is that what it is, the ADHD!? everyone I've slept with acts like I'm some kinda sex maverick and I'm just like "idk wtf I'm doing uhhhhh glad y'all into it"
I think thats more individual, im completely Asexual :3
Looking at this like "Bingo card!"
the forgetting words and particularly names parts sometimes scares the hell out of me. i'm not that old but i'm like "is this early onset dementia"
Trouble recalling commonly used words is a big one for me. Also I use other words as placeholder who are adjacent in my head, like dishwasher and washing machine. Followed by frustration that people don't have the same association and immediately understand what I mean
"Thingy," "that thing," "thingamabob," and "whatchacallit" are all valid ways that myself, my friends, and my family refer to items. Sometimes there's an adjective or relative descriptor used to clarify, like "that spiky thing," or "the blue thingy next to the TV."
Do you also sometimes go through the alphabet when trying to find a word? Usually if I can figure out what sound/letter starts the word I'm looking for, I can find the rest of it.
I don’t define myself as ADHD but I’ve been doing that for years. It doesn’t always work but I it primes by brain to be aware of all the letters. Good for wordle, trivia, etc.
Usually I remember the inflection and number of syllables of the word I want, just not the actual sounds.
Adhd is not being able to read all that
Jokes on you, my doctor prescribed me 15mg of Dexamphetamine and now I can like a real normal attention span having person
Forgot a word in there buddy. Time to bump the dose. /s
Bummer :(. But at least I picked up an old project and finished half, so that's progress
There's already one comorbidity mentioned here, depression, but obviously there's room for more like autism. If I had the skills I might've made a "slaps roof on car" meme version here, so you'll just have to use your imagination. (Tough sell for someone with aphantasia).
Oh man, the item loss do be relentless.
If you wanna make sure you never see something ever again just let me hold it for a minute
No, give it to me, I'll put it somewhere safe. You'll never see it again, but it'll be safe.
Just like the screws I need to reassemble my weed whacker.
When disassembling something, always tape the loose screws onto it using marking tape or transparent packing tape (whichever doesn't break the item's surface.)
This way I never misplaced screws.
sometimes i think to myself "where would i put the thing if i had it right now" and sometimes it's in one of the 3 spots i think of, those days are nice
It took me like 25 years to learn to not set shit on top of a ladder. If I carried something up a ladder with me, it comes down with me. I've lost count of how many times I've thought "I'll totally remember this hammer up here (this time)" only to climb down, immediately try to move the ladder, and get clobbered in the face by the falling hammer that I forgot about the second it left my field of vision.
If it's not within my field of view, it might as well no longer exist. Especially if I need that item.
A lot of these just seem like specific, downstream effects of a handful of the symptoms. It doesn't seem like a "hidden" aspect of having ADHD.
Don't forget having a fat ass and being right all the time /s
You also forgot the massive thighs :3

I still feel like this is everyone and not really ADHD. I'm willing to bet a large percentage of people have most of these symptoms. If everyone has it, then no one does..
And before anyone says I'm dismissing it, I'm not, I'm just saying it's kind of like anxiety. Literally everyone in the world who has lived and will ever live has anxiety probably everyday. Are there varying degrees, of course.
