This is funny but also like really really deeply sad
Name of your sex tape
I feel seen, also how do you actually break out of this cycle, it’s been decades. 💀
Some people find it to be a huge help to start their day immediately with a scheduled activity like a class at a gym. 6am spin class or crossfit or some shit.
Forces you to get up and get your ass moving first thing and if you can ride the endorphins out of the gym and into a bunch of other productive activities you will probably get more done by lunch than any other whole day.
Something something body in motion
Something something idle hands something devil's workshop
That seems like it makes sense. Which probably stems from me not having a regular sleep cycle with some of the Twitch streaming I do at night. Trying to balance work/family/life along with that is pretty difficult to get a good sleep schedule. Maybe I’ll try to do some workouts or exercises before work if I don’t feel dead in the morning.
It needs to be a regimented "I now do this regardless" activity. If you put in the qualifier of "If I dont feel dead" then you never will, because who feels fantastic getting up at 5:00 to go to the gym?
Oof you got me! I had a feeling I’d be called out for the qualifier and with good reason! The reason for that was if I’m going to sleep late, then 5am gym isn’t feasible, but it sounds like I need to recalibrate my schedule so I don’t feel dead to be able to accommodate for some kind of morning activity.
Oh dont get me wrong, my advice is generic. I dont know your life, I dont even follow my own advice. But I start work at 5 so my alarm goes off at 4:15 so I start my day by arriving at work cranky and go from there. I go on the way home every day because I know if I go home first its game over on the rest of the day.

I broke out by getting diagnosed and getting put on medication.

It's getting really bad because now it's ADHD mixed with massive depression because of the cycle I feel stuck in, the meds aren't helping me do anything but stay awake and have more energy. I'm about to lose everything I care for in life because I just can't shake my mind out of this shit.
Make sure to talk with your Doctor and express that feeling, I've been also in testing meds cycle it sucks but I'm sure I'll find something that works, you got this.

I think these are normal steps for a variety of people. I'm pretty sure I'm not ADHD but every time one of these style posts pops up listing traits or supposed ADHD defining behaviour they are always relatable. Most likely explanation is these posts are nothing to do with ADHD and are actually designed to just make you feel special when you see that these apply to you so you interact with them, share them, and they spread to others and it repeats and repeats and repeats...
I think you might be lost. And, just for clarity we all have moments but ADHD is about this happening constantly.
Why am I lost? And yes the particular scenario in this post is a regular occurrence. No matter how much time I have I will always put things off until the point where if I don't do it now I won't have time. Then I'll try and start it but the up doing something more interesting and thinking of excuses to get away with not finishing what I was supposed to. It's always something easy too and when I finally do it I tell myself that's next time I'll keep on top of it but never do.
Have you considered that you actually do have ADHD
No, I've just always thought that I am a bit lazy or self absorbed and only want to do the fun things. I do give through periods where I make an effort to correct it but it never sticks.
It sounds like trolling because it's so typical of those of us with late diagnoses. We also believed this about ourselves prior to getting evaluated.
Definitely not trolling no. My comments are genuinely how I am but I don't think that because I put things off until the last minute that it's anything out of the ordinary. I am actually now a bit curious because more than one person is saying the same thing but I'm not going to self diagnose based on comments on the internet.
The thing that makes people with ADHD think they don’t have ADHD is the “hyperactive” part. Not everyone with adhd is actually hyperactive, but if you find be yourself unable to muster the motivation to do things you know you’re supposed to do, but the ability to hyper focus on things you want to do, that’s incredibly characteristic of ADHD.
Me not emailing my negative UDS and EKG results to my psych until the day of my diagnosis.
Instead for that week I was procrastinating, trying to unspaghetti my NixOS installation, installing a PS2 emulator to play a title that dankpods reminded me of.
I'd been beating myself up over this shit for years, people in my life too just thinking I'm lazy and disorganised. Only took me until 36 to get a diagnosis 🤘 Happy I did.

If you're trolling right now then you're doing an A+ job.
I am genuinely not trolling although I have no way of proving it.
If you're not trolling you just perfectly described what it's like to be in denial about having ADHD
He sounds like one of those conservative men who talks about resisting 'temptation' and genuinely doesn't realise that straight men just aren't interested in boning other men in the first place. It's the same energy.
Sorry I don't mean to come across like that. I just always assumed these types of posts were like Horoscopes and designed to contain elements so the majority of people reading it would go 'oh wow that describes me'. Reading the responses I'm realising that this assumption may well be completely wrong and I should re-evaluate.
If you live somewhere with sane health insurance, consider a small conversation with your doctor to rule it out. You might consider yourself normal because it's all you've ever known.

Because that is only one symptom. And there are many different reasons why people could behave that way (even on a regular basis). It neither has to be ADHD nor any other mental health problem at all.
I wish more people would see that society holds us up to an in-humane standard and many people "fail" when compared to that standard.
When more than half of all people suffer from some type of mental health issue it's quite obvious something with the system is wrong and not with us.
ADHD encompasses a variety of debilitating symtopms that are consistently present from the beginning of someone's lives. Otherwise it can't be ADHD.
It's a cheap way to deal with our system-issues to brainwash people into believing somehow their brains are wrong.
It's so real it hurts, weekends just hop out the window
How do you get out of this loop?
- Hyperfixate on getting out the the loop
- Get stuck in new loop
You don't, you just learn to operate within it.
You fool!
Just make a pact with the devil instead. ... Adderall helps too.

relatable. Good morning. I'm doing the first 5 hours part of my day right now. catchya later.
update 7 hours later: I just did a productive thing!
Now back to some well-earned Lemmy time.
Every fucking day
My trick is to do as much as possible during the first hours of the day, and THEN get anxious.
It's past midnight and I have an assignment I need to finish today... but I really need to research the latest real-time physics engines.
This is being a normal human being at the weekend. This isn't ADHD specific.
I think the original tweet is saying this is their every day life bc of their adhd.
Being their every day state of existence and not having any control over it is the piece that is adhd specific I believe.
There's always one of you people who has to chime in like this. Yes, neurotypicals can be like this. But for a person with ADHD it's not a choice, it's far more intense, and it's debilitating when you're aware of it and can't force yourself to do otherwise.
