Fair question
(piefed.cdn.blahaj.zone)
I'm in this picture and I don't like it
Confirmed ADHD.
I don't like this post because I have three
No. I don't check my mail to avoid it
I thought it was more an anxiety pile
How about if you look at that pile of mail and say oh yeah I need to read all that shit and then say I'll do it tomorrow and then you see it again in a month and do they same shit
I have a box. It’s my shame box.
Um... How many pieces form a pile?
I know mine's more than I can count at a glance.
I have two right now, and they might as well be a pile, knowing my patterns. They will form a basis of a good big proper pile until I have a manic episode.
Once I scan them and file them digitally I will throw them away! Any day now...
No need for scanning. I have a binder where I neatly organize them, and currently they are all shoved under the binder so that the cats won't play with them.
I also have set up paperless for this!
I also have a very few things in paperless
Ummmmmmmmm I feel personally attacked right now
The test should be a single, rambling, five-page question and your score is the page number on which you give up.
The lower the page score, the higher the ADHD score?
But, what if it hooks the interest... ADHD can focus, if it inspires.
Could be false negatives.
I think the OP test's more reliable. At least from my experience.

I keep tuning maybe I don't have adhd and then I read posts like this.
I have a mail pile, but its a system. Whoever checks the mailbox sorts the mail by person. My pile is a sort of filing system.
Once a week, I grab my side gig check, open and check the medical/ insurance mail for anything out of the norm (on the tail end of a workmans comp claim that generates a lot) the opened med and paycheck mail then go to the bottom of the stack, the junk mail gets tossed, and the stuff i dont need now, but might have to reffer to later (like bank statements) gets returned to the top unopened.
If I need to refer back to the med/ pays stubs, they're now separated out in chronological order. As are a year's worth of bank statements if anything seems off with my accounts.
Once a year, after I file my taxes, the bank statements get tossed, except the year end one, which goes into a filing drawer, on top of another pile, along with all that years' pay stubs, major medical notes (like paid off ones, etc) the filing drawer holds 2 piles, that work out pretty well to ~5 years of important docs) so, whenever the front pile fills up, the back pile goes into the fireplace for burning, (since its now all 5+years old) the front pile becomes the back pile, and a new pile begins, ensuring im keeping 5+ years of importance documents, in chronological order.
I don't even look at it some of the days
NO, I DO NOT!
I have several 😑
Does it come with massive amounts of anxiety every time I look at it?
But only until you go to another room.
You can also just cover them with a pizza box.
When I moved house, I put all the Very Urgent Mail into a separate pile and packed it into my backpack instead of a box.
So I could go through it and do what needs doing before all the boxes are unpacked in the new house.
The pile still sits on my desk untouched, it's been 6 months, and my cat now sits down on it whenever she wants to be left in peace. She knows I'm not gonna go near that.
I figure since no cops or court officers have shown up yet, it can't have been that urgent after all.
Oh dam... I just did mine this week, and it took hours because its about 4 months worth. I do think it's partially due to being depressed more since it's mostly bills and I just avoid them.
At some point maybe, nowadays it's all just garbage so I feel like this is fairly common.
Work: I try not to.
Home: Ask me next week.
Are there psychopaths out there that open their mail and read it?!
Those people also probably answer their phones when someone calls without texting first. The monsters.
No, nothing important comes through the mail anymore. But I've gone weeks without doing timesheets at work and it risked my employment.
Easy peasy my friend. Divide and conquer. I open all the mail, sort out the garbage from the important stuff. I throw away all the chaff and bullshit, sort that into important stuff that needs attention, and important stuff that needs to be kept track of.
I then throw the important stuff that needs to be held onto but requires no action, into a box with the year (or at least a year within the last 3 years) written on the side. And then every 5 years or so I throw away the old boxes.
At that point, what's left is just a few pages per week that I then give to my spouse so they only have a couple of things to deal with.
They then take those couple of pages and put them on top of the ever looming pile of toxic things that we will never dare to touch again.
However, this pile is strategically placed so that it can't be missed, and acts as an anxiety point that drives us to do other tasks that would normally be avoided, but now seems like a nice diversion in the shadow of "the pile".
Or at least that's the way it used to work, but now we just avoid that room completely.
Ha! Both physically and digitally :)
Welp, guess I’m cured… later losers!
Isn't that what a mailbox is for? Holding several pounds of junk mail and maybe 2 bills? 😶
I am undiagnosed guy who relates to almost all the posts no this sub. This ain't one.
Important stuff isn't a plain white envelope.
Important stuff isn't sent just once, you get reminder letters.
So, I can sort the post another day because it looks like it hasn't changed since yesterweek
It's mostly bills
why am i being called out on piefed
