I feel this applies to more than just adhd, for example things like burn-out and depression.
The three often go together.
ADHD is just a bunch of symptoms in a trench coat.
Yeah everyone pees, but if you do it 60 times a day, you should probably ask why, no?

You mean like Supernatural's Castiel, especially in the early seasons?
Hey! Ass butt!
Best battle cry ever š
ADHD often comes with some degree of low-grade anxiety/depression tbh
I remember talking to my therapist about how Iām not worried about forgetting something, Iām always worried about what I havenāt realized I have forgotten and is already causing a problem. I just live in a constant state of āsomething is on fire I just havenāt smelled the smoke yet.ā itās not quite PTSD, but it is certainly something analogous and itās always this low level hum of stress. At least thatās what I took from my conversation with her.
Fucking hell. I have days or weeks where this happens for me but eventually passes. Usually itās time related for me. Like Iāve missed an appointment. But there isnāt one?? š¤·āāļø
I havenāt been to the eye doctor in over 5 years so thatās a fun one to randomly remember.
You know, just this week I saw the dermatologist again after several years. One of my medications makes me more susceptible to skin cancer and I needed a prescription related to a skin condition refilled.
So I needed to go more than most. I have plenty of other simple things Iāve been waiting months to do, but it IS possible to knock these things out.
Appreciate the encouragement. Itās silly I havenāt gone
If you make a venn diagram of the symptoms of ADHD, PTSD, burnout, anxiety, bipolar, and autism you get pretty close to a circle
Yah this feels so similar to autism. Interesting how there's so much overlap. Has anyone tried to make a venn diagram like that or would it be too complex? /gen

Well, they all fall under an umbrella called "Neurodivergent" since we think vastly differently than the norm.
Nothing here is a clinical diagnosis. They are just a lot of the things us with ADHD deal with on a daily basis that effects our lives enough that it severely diminishes our quality of life without physician help. See a doctor if these types of things are effecting your life in any significant way.
Fun fact, a lot of ADHD meds also help with things like depression. Coincidence? I don't think so.
I have to deal with depression at the moment. I am unhappy with some circumstances in my life. Since unemployment could happen soon, it would be beneficial, if I would apply for some jobs. I even asked some friends if they knew about vacancies. But for some reason I just can't do it. It is enormously frustrating. But reading about symptoms here and realising it actually is a symptom helps me with self compassion.
