That's... That's adhd? Like, I'm all of that. I don't think I have adhd.
As others said, these are mostly all signs of some kind of executive dysfunction. Mine is from depression, not ADHD, but there's a lot of overlap. I obsessively keep my inbox empty which is a whole 'nother vibe
There are more symptoms to ADHD and even then all of these appear in people without neurodevelopmental or psychological disorders as well. Especially when you live a stressful life.
It could be adhd, could be nothing, could be autism (poor executive function can be part of that). But it’s clear that you have the opportunity to get tested and improve your QoL. Your decision.
*When they actually suffer from that.
Tricky thing about being neurodivergent is most people have no idea that they‘ve been suffering so getting insight into their own situation (even if they‘re not over the threshold) is going to do much good for their situation. Knowing is always better than not knowing (imo).
Even when you are neurodivergent you can assess whether your life "works" or not. Social media and the idea to go get a diagnose just to know made it almost impossible (where I live) to get an appointment.
Doctors aren't even putting you on a waiting list anymore. The victims of this are the people who really don't have their life in order and aren't managing to get an appointment.
And this really is following social media trends. Currently it is an ADHD hype, slowly merging into an autism hype.
I didn't know I had ADHD until I saw this. Dang.
This is not a diagnosis test. You do not have ADHD just because this described you. However if you have ADHD there is a high likelihood that this describes you.
Excessive number of open tabs, anyone?
I am at a smiley face number of tabs on my phone:
This. Is. My. Life.
You guys don't get a compulsion to get rid of any notification or mark emails as read the moment they come through?
Also you guys get messages on social media?
No. Mostly I turn off the notification stuff if I can, especially the little dot with the unread number. A lot of that stuff isn't worth reading.
Most of these hit close to home, except that I'm obsessively punctual, check my messages even when there are no new notifications and my file system is a work of art that I can spend hours organizing. But that goddamn chair though...
I thought everyone had a couple folders called"stuff". Damn
I can't delete those, they might have something important ... They definitely don't
Jokes on you, I have The Heap™
It's like a chair but without the chair as chairs take up extra space
...my single spotify playlist for ALL my music is named Heap
My music taste is so scatter shot and shifting I could never do that
Mine are usually titled the date I save them with no further description
And before you ask, no it doesn't make finding the correct playlist easier
I just have my 1000 liked songs that I play on shuffle
That's essentially how I use the Heap playlist
Do you also sometimes get these hyperfixations on music where you listen to one or only a few songs a lot and skip to everything else?
instead of The Chair I have The Floor
Idk your age, but I personally upgraded from The Floor™ to The Chair™ in my mid 30s.
Good to know, I can put it off for a few more years then.
