I wonder how many people get diagnosed with anxiety before anyone in their lives realize they have ADHD
Probably not even that many, since they're all told to suck it up and push through
Sure but like people go to the doctor. During a regular checkup at a new primary they had me fill out a mental health form. Based on my results they ended up putting me down for generalized anxiety. I wasn't there for that, I was there for eczema
Bingo.
I’m starting to wonder if anxiety is the primary issue. Being in constant fight or flight mode might be a big part of ADHD.
i got diagnosed with anxiety a little while ago, and wouldn't be slightly surprised if i actually had ADHD the whole time. i haven't had a proper panic attack in probably over three years.
Most adults with ADHD go their entire lives without a diagnosis. They develop coping mechanisms without realizing that's what they are. Anxiety and depression are both comorbid with ADHD (meaning they pair up rather frequently). If you think you might have ADHD there's a really good talk by Dr.Barkley on YouTube. He's one of the leading experts in the field and he goes over common problems and coping mechanisms. The video is called Essential Ideas for Parents. If you resonate even a little bit with it I highly recommend seeking a proper diagnosis
I can relate to anxiety as a coping mechanism for undiagnosed ADHD. I can have sudden flares of panic if my mind wanders onto random topics and suddenly I'm wondering if I've left x at home or forgotten to lock my car door (I forgot a couple times...). I also do pat downs of my pockets and rummage through my bag to ensure something is where they're meant to be.
The crushing weight of expecting a crushing weight .
The crushing weight of knowing there is a crushing weight waiting but not being weighed down by it at the moment, but knowing that the crushing will resume at some undetermined point in the future.
The crushing weight of a hydraulic press. Sorry, what were we talking about?
You're a sentient doll.
You get bought
The buyer is a youtuber
he got a hydraulic press.
you discover that the crushing weight isn't just a mental thing
you wake up, it was just a dream.
You're a sentient doll waiting to be bought.
The hydraulic press isn't real. The hydraulic press isn't real. The hydraulic press isn't real.
But how do I know these words?
These words you utter invoke a painful sensation that move from the top of your head down to the tip of your toeless foot. A huge feeling of despair got hold of you. You just know you are paying for past sins commited. sins so grave that you've been doomed to be crushed for eternity and beyond. The sin of Putting pineapple on pizza.

Ah, yes. The perpetual struggle of life.
Edit : that does sound a lot like living in an abusive household.....
the crushing weight of not knowing if there’s a crushing weight
That's paranoia.
Every time. Day off? Nope no relaxing, it's cleaning time because no productivity is not allowed
Maybe we can push cleaning to Monday. I'm scheduled to feel guilty about not cleaning all weekend
I'm in this image and I don't like it..
If I don't know there's a task, I try to remember, and when that fails, I rationalize it can't be that important or I'd remember it.
60% chance I feel the crushing weight anyway.
30% chance it was REALLY REALLY important, so I feel the crushing weight later as guilt.
10% chance I feel the weight anyway AND it was really important.
Once though, once there wasn't anything important and it worked. Great day, would have again. Fresh out of those unfortunately.
The crushing weight of existence is real
The crushing weight of samsaric existence.
I read tanks in the first two comments. Anyyyways, the crushing weight of not knowing if there is a task is so real.
Anyways #2: Wtf is up with that capitalization?? It's either none at all, fucking title case or "Feeling" case.
