    Had my water bottle in my hand. Suddenly realized my water bottle is not in my hand. Where did it go?

    I much prefer the term executive functioning disorder.

    Yes but I do have a severe problem with sitting still

  • btw moving physically is healthy, it essentially stimulates your metabolism and you have fewer disease-causing conditions like obesity later in life.

    wanting to move physically is a healthy urge and suppressing it is unhealthy. it's unnatural for people to sit still 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 12 years straight. and people wonder why there's an obesity pandemic today ...

    5/7 of the things listed are explicitly related to attention and/or hyperactivity

    It's a common misunderstanding of what "hyperactive" is supposed to be referencing. It isn't the body that is hyperactive, it is the mind.

    People still think it means "Little Timmy bouncing off the walls cause he has a lot of energy" when it really means "Little Jimmy can't stop his mind enough to process thoughts"

    My buddy likes to say when he's medicated his train of thought is like grand central station. When he's unmedicated it's the same, but all the trains are running full speed, no one is driving them, they're crashing into each other and still going, there's a fight on one of the platforms where someone is trying to throw someone else on the tracks, all the food at the restaurants is burning, and there's a small army of guys with signs warning things like "The End is Near".

    You'd never know it by looking at him.

    This definitely sounds like AuDHD to me.

    ADHD: The world is too noisy today and I can't focus on that important thing I need to do instead of some stupid hyperfixation for 14 hours.

    AuDHD: The world is too noisy today and I need to get out of here and recuperate.

    I literally RSDed myself out of deleting my Reddit account. All while intellectually understanding (from the very beginning) that it's emotion disregulation at work, and that no mod was really out to get me, nor cared, but that's just cause Reddit is such a big place they couldn't be sympathetic to and follow up on every post violation without burning themselves out.

    I think the feeling of "all my friends hate me" can be a pretty vanilla ADHD experience too tbf. Although for the longest time before diagnosis, I thought that about my colleagues.
