ADHD Emotional Spectrum

There's also the wretched feeling when you witness something unjust (for me anyways)

68

oh is this why i nearly murdered that guy for dropping his cigarette butts down the drain

25
- A solid defense
  
  7
haha that is the main reason why I'm choosing to live in ignorance about what's happening in the news, I can't handle so much of it. It makes my blood boil. The important things get to me through memes anyway

20
Don't really need ADHD for that

2

You forgot "all consuming dread"

65

Wednesday forever and this whole grocery store hated me kind of covers that, but yeah, dread is especially apparent with phone calls and late afternoon appointments.

24

Tbh the anger spiral helped me cut out toxic people from my life and made me less codependent on awful social groups.

I feel genuinely much better after completely cutting off an entire community of people

55

I'm currently the one being cut off from someone and I feel like shit... I double-booked a thing and now they think I suck and am not reliable. And it's probably true. I'm so bad at dates and remembering to write things down, but I want to change. This is probably the push I need to remember forever now, but don't want to lose my friend group over it. Fuck, I hate myself so much.

Oh hey, that whole type of rant is on the list,too lol.

16
- Hey man,
  
  you're probably fine. I don't know the details, but humans are fallible. you're only human. friends should know this, they're only human too. I doubt these friends have all been perfect all the time, and I doubt they'll do everything perfect from here on out.
  
  If it caused a problem, tell them the truth. you double booked. you had to pick one over the other. you feel bad you flaked. you don't intend to make it a habit.
  
  if it cost people something, consider making it up somehow. but I would propose that unless it's cost them real bad, good friends ought to accept the apology without expecting the compensation. they'll mess up someday too, and it's better for everyone to be kind.
  
  don't hate yourself. it does no good for anyone. counterproductive and undeserved. develop a system to help you. you can't always change your nature, but you can build around it.
  
  14
- Remember that emotional dysregulation is a very common thing among the general population and many cannot separate that they are frustrated with a situation and being frustrated with you. You don't really want to be around people capable of such heavy levels of judgement or an unwillingness to be charitable in their interpretations of others.

Yeah pretty much I spent years being traumatized by idiots before I realized that most people are stupid and not worth your time. Once I understood that, life became so much better. I am now of the opinion that few people are worth the drama they bring to your lives, and your real goal is to find those few who are worth it.

What's the anger spiral and the last one?

17

When you try to do something and the horny thoughts keep popping up

4
Yeah I'm just either bored or stressed 99% of the time

3

I'm currently on anger and it's all about to come crashing down

11

Tell me about "Wednesday forever," please?

9

My guess is its the exhaustion of having survived the start of the week combined with the dread of having to survive that long again

17
In my mind it's just the slow realization that you'll have to repeat the same cycle forever.

8
The cycle never ends. There's never a downtime, just more "do-do-do". The moment you finish something, it's already time to start it again.

7

Am I misreading this, or is there something about lust that's specifically ADHD?

3

If I remember correctly, hypersexuality is often a symptom of ADHD because the sweet release of dopamine that comes with sex and sex related activities often helps ease the other symptoms of ADHD.

16
- Plus, boobs are interesting.
  
  10
- That makes at least a portion of my youth make more sense all of a sudden. It also doesn't help that at least stimulants-based treatment adds its own bump.

- Right back at you, bucko. Maybe stop harassing disabled people?

Do you have any evidence for this claim?

7
- Literally no.
  
  That user is otherwise known as DroneRights. You can check modlogs and see that they've had accounts on every major instance and every account has been banned for transphobia, general bigotry, slander, and copious amounts of lying. They particularly hate me because I am both a popular poster as well as someone who specifically called out their shit and got them banned from Startrek.website. They openly admit that they have narcissistic personality disorder and are using that to both abuse other people as well as shield themselves from abuse. They are literally incapable of coping with the fact that someone has pointed out that they are a trash person and has made it their sole mission to try and slander me at every possible case.
  
  I banned them from 3 communities earlier today for making these exact same claims about me and providing zero evidence but these comments still exist elsewhere.
  
  Honestly I just keep forgetting they exist. I think they're drastically overselling how important they think they are. Only reason I'm even aware of their existence is because they just keep copy/pasting the same argument over and over again. Literally not creative enough to come up with anything new.

- Yes. He called me a slur for my mental disorder to my face a couple hours ago. https://lemm.ee/post/20523475
