First of all, how dare you
I feel personally attacked
The more I see from this sub, the more I think I need a diagnosis lol. Idk if I really want to change my brain though, what if I get more productive but level out and lose creative drive?
what if I get more productive but level out and lose creative drive?
that is not how it works, unless being more productive inherently makes you lose creative drive for some reason. also being diagnosed doesn’t mean you have to “change your brain”
increased productivity allows me to spend way more of my time actually doing the creative stuff than i do with worse productivity
Getting diagnosed, it might be an eye opening experience. Symptoms and connecting them to your own personal life, like no shit I’m a walking talking barely dysfunctional bag of flesh but this explains why.
I’d say it depends on how you think it’s affecting your life*. Everyone has some symptoms of adhd the difference is the full picture and your ability to control it. Nobody likes boring tasks and everyone has trouble with motivation, at some level it becomes symptomatic of adhd but the way to figure that out is through a doctor and trying different treatments.
*interesting thing about what’s classified as a mental illness is that it needs to have a negative effect on your life. There’s debate about things like narcissism being an “illness” because often it actually helps the person succeed, and they would never think of themselves as being negatively affected by it. If our society rewards a condition like this, what does that mean for classification of mental illness and how medicine is practiced? Similar questions apply to adhd, I had a job that exploited my adhd very well for a long time and figured if I had it then whatever that’s just me. It wasn’t until it was a serious issue that I decided I actually need to figure out if I have it and try something.
The fuck OP you don’t have to personally attack me like that
Fucking damnit to hell! 😂
I skipped both the first and second half, well oh damn.
“well oh, damn” or “damn, oh well” …maybe you are a little dyslexic as well?
A very bold correction given your use of punctuation.
Evidently
Ah well we’ve all been there. Also just so you know, ADHD and dyslexia are associated. So coming into an ADHD sub and saying that just isn’t cricket.
Point taken. Didn’t think it through.
Welp.
FUCK
DOUBLE FUCK
That’s not because I have adhd, I’m just lazy.
If you’re not joking…
I’m pretty sure “lazy” is just an ableist view of adhd. I’m struggling to get out of the mindset that I’m simply a lazy piece of shit, and instead view my “laziness” as a result of poor dopamine regulation in my brain and something that can be coped with, not just relented to.
Listen here you little shit…
I, too, feel the sting of being tricked by the truth. Damn you, awful truth!
I adore the way you have phrased this
I read 2, but just to see if it also mentionedsquirrels
I read half of the first one and then moved on lmao
I didn’t come here to be attacked
I skipped the first half because I noticed the third pie chart was a fucking oval
It looked boring. I went back and checked, and I was right.
Ffs… 😩
Is part of ADHD inattentiveness not making the bottom ellipse a circle? :P
