Start your morning off tidy [ADHDinos]
Oh thanks I’ll do that when I’m done with this…
44Story of my life.
Recently got diagnosed. Before I was, I had issues with my internet but also wanted to clean that day. So i decided id try and fix the internet and then clean.
I started at 2 pm and ended at 8 pm. I did not clean.

No thanks... That one's been sitting there for so long now that it would just be weird if it weren't there any more.
9But... If I put them in the kitchen where they belong my roommates will use them and horde them in their room.
5thanks
4I have been diagnosed with ADHD and I don't relate to this. Weird. When consuming posts in this sub there are some things that I do relate to and others I don't.
Everybody's ADHD appears to be different. Can anyone confirm this?
2It's a wide spectrum in general, not everything applies uniformly to everyone IMO, regardless of diagnosis status. Varying cultures, upbringings and other factors also come into play
9Yes, its actually a real shame they medically dont have sub categories. Some dont have hyperfocus, some dont have memory issues, some have overlapping mild OCD, lots dont have hyperactivity (tapping feet, clicking pens), etc. Its not just a spectrum but a multi-spectrum across many different categories.
The common ground is the inability to control focus/attention at will, it just turns out that it usually comes with a lot of other things too.
6I've recently started to take medication. While this does help with my ability to focus, I have the feeling it just doesn't improve my memory. In my job I have to manage a lot of things and keep the details in mind. So I'm struggling and ask myself if I'm in the right business after all...
It's a cruel world for us...

13I have ADHD and solved this problem by telling myself that plates, bowls, and utensils belong in the kitchen/dining room. Also, not to eat anywhere else in the house.
Had to because when the shame of cleaning things with mold/dehydrated food is more painful than confining myself too a single place to eat.
Also, reuseable water bottles and no cups.
10Thank you for the post. I confirm this is definitely a problem.

I know you’re paraplegic but just stand up and grab that umbrella from the rack. Like, come on, it’s just sanding ffs.
Make sense? The whole of this sub is to tackle mental disorders that make some aspects of life hard (or impossible for some). No matter how trivial or small those things may seem to others.
5This is correct. Don't bring food into your bedroom unless you don't have another room to eat in.
