Hello ADHDers! It really is a health management skill to catch yourself and pull away. The worst is when you do care about the topic and you know you're mismanaging your time, it doesn't actually matter, but you can't not "finish it so at least it's out there"

Yup. I do this 100%. But mostly it's because sometimes I get so hot on the subject, it feels good to get it out there and then I worry I was too brash about it. A trick I use is to leave the comment written on my phone in the background. Maybe I'll send it, but more often than not I clear it out when I clean up my background apps and go, "Well, that was decided for me."

This is a good trick. I use this trick. Not often enough, but still.
