adhd shit from my experience

starlit-lullaby:

my diagnosis is combined-type adhd so this’ll be a mess

(self-dx people can reblog too!)


  • time is a social construct/i have no concept of time (casually forgetting what day/month/year it is)
  • chronic boredom
  • rejection sensitive dysphoria
  • i’m bored but everything is too boring/unappealing
  • “where’s my phone???” i say, holding my phone
  • thinking about one thing and then thinking about something else for literally one (1) second but immediately forgetting about what you were originally thinking about
  • bad yet good memory (i.e: i can remember entire movie scripts from movies i watched years ago but i cant remember what i did yesterday)
  • Leg Bounce™
  • can’t sit or stand still (i.e: i bounce my legs while sitting; i rock side to side while standing)
  • stimming in general
  • i have so much energy!!!!!!! i gotta move and jump around Right Now or else i’ll Die
  • i know i should brush my teeth. all i have to do is pick up my tooth brush, put toothpaste on it, and brush my teeth. so why is my body doing Not That (executive dysfunction)
  • literally everything is distracting (i.e: that clock on the wall at school? distracting. the air conditioning? distracting. someone tapping their pencil on their desk? distracting. cant focus on anything but the distraction.)
  • zoning out CONSTANTLY (can be both on purpose or accidental)
  • i’m reading this book but i’m not processing any of the words on the pages so i have no idea what’s happening and fuck now i gotta reread it from the beginning (having to do this over and over again to actually be able to read something)
  • what was i doing? what was i saying? what did i do yesterday? fuck if i know
  • having no! sense! of! volume control! (i.e: yelling when you think youre whisperingnot being aware of this unless someone mentions it)
  • i’m upset but i forgot why so now i’m just vaguely uncomfortable
  • oops i forgot to eat again
  • what’s an attention span? don’t know her
  • zero impulse control
