  • I think the problem with simple things like this are not that they don’t work, but that the problem arises in the actually doing of the things.

    Personally my primary problem from ADHD is executive dysfunction, and it is SO hard to convey to people/advisors and such that yes, if I did all these “easy” solutions it would help, but the problem is the doing of the thing, creating a bootstrapping problem. To do the productive work you need to use x strategy but you can’t do x strategy because brain says no.

    I think if as you have you can make these simple things habit it will help immensely, but as you said it takes a lot of willpower.




  • Yeah that’s fairly textbook procrastination and then deadline stress - driven productivity, which is fairly common for ADHD people. Not enough to prove it on its own, but if you also identify with a lot of other things in this community it may be worth looking into

    A few other examples off the top of my head that I have:

    • executive dysfunction (trouble starting tasks, even that you ‘want’ to do
    • often abandoning hobbies and personal projects for new, interesting ones
    • trouble staying focused on tasks that dont have that immediate deadline pressure
    • trouble forming habits
    • often fidgeting/stemming when not thinking about it

    And reminder that even if you don’t have stereotypical ‘hyperactivity’ symptoms you still might have a form of ADHD, for example I don’t, for me it just manifests as often fidgeting, but not much beyond that.


  • Yea its a meme of the format of the TikTok ban message, though there is also a sub-joke is the PID being how the US’s political parties swing back and forth, which is in the part where TikTok referred to trump planning on revoking the ban, and that it just needs to wait for it to finish swinging back right.

    As a midwesterner, I will die on both hills, that it’s the wind that gets ya in the cold and that the humidity is what gets ya in the hot

    And scientifically/biologically both are true, because the wind takes the warm air from above your skin immediately and the humidity prevents you from sweating










  • I’m pretty sure its the usage of “me think”, which is not standard English (although methinks together is more acceptable interestingly), as well as the use of ‘feels’ when grammatically it should be ‘feel’.

    To be honest it’s not that big of a deal though

    Edit: also there should probably be a ‘was’ in “as a guy that [was] also suicidal…”
