Never realized this is related to ADHD, just thought my digestive system is stupid or something

It’s due to the distractive nature of hyperfocus.

I usually not really forget to eat but instead to drink :|

If I don't have a bottle of water next to me, I won't drink water. If I do have a bottle of water next to me, I'll get distracted by it constantly and drink so much that I'm going to the bathroom every 5 minutes

I can one up this:
I can place it in front my my eyes and I'll look around it. Once I get headaches I might respond to the call of H2O.

It's not. People just post anything vaguely relatable to this sub

Oof. The fremdschämen is off the charts with this one. 😬

Others here are neglecting to mention that it’s literally the top side effect of stimulant medications after elevated heart rate.

Same! That was like the first "WTF?" thoughts I had (while also lulz-ing). Had to share somewhere that would know the feeling. I have large doses of Impostor Syndrome in basically all parts of my day to day life. But one of the weirder ones is that I might not be actually ADHD and the meds that have been a game changer will be taken away (especially as the pushes to make getting them harder arise). But then I read/watch stuff about ADHD that are waaaaaay to deep a cut into my life to have that "oh shit, well I most certainly have ADHD for real then." lol. Just so so many parts of my personality and youth just make sense.
