Never heard of rejective sensitive dysphoria

The inability to focus mixed with the forgetfulness is my Achilles heel.

Like, I'll put the butter in the microwave for TEN SECONDS to softe it, then forget I've done so until it beeps and now my butter is a puddle. Ten fucking seconds.

And if you only have some of those?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

if you don't relate with most of the memes in this community then you might not have ADHD

Now I'm tweaking on why most of the items are in the ocean and not in the iceberg.

Don't forget ODD, Oppositional Defiance Disorder.

Rooted in trauma..... I feel we are heavily influenced by our environment and when our environment becomes toxic, we become toxic. As much as we try to maintain our own individuality, the world around us becomes a weight. I feel the era we live in is a world of mass surveillance and the loss of autonomy. I think that the rising developments of big tech and its influence on our lives mixed with the ever-increasing school shootings should tell us that our children are a perfect indicator that our society is becoming ever increasingly more antisocial. It's a slow global fascist coup Increasing exponentially.. who are now hammering the last nail in the neoliberal coffin as the Western world prepares for global techno fascism. They've done studies on these mass shooters and some of them have not had any prior mental health issues documented. Also, the people around them, some didn't suspect a thing. Basically what I'm saying is psychologists are saying that they don't have mental health issues. And I question if all these mental health tags are just handicaps to survive the techno-capitalist-fascist world that's ahead of us. I also believe two things can be right at the same time. That is all.

Seems like the byproduct of a financial system in decay. Sounds like we live a mathmatical exponential function that feeds on the blood of the innocent, that corrupts all as it spits in the face of the natural hierarchy. Sound like repression, anxiety, alienation and depression. Sounds like predatory medical conformity of a institution that was once looked a as virtued. The beatings will continue until the moral improves...SOUNDS LIKE BULLSHIT NOW TAKE YOUR MEDICINE

Doesn't everyone have many of those things?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, and everyone has to piss, too. But if you do it sixty times a day, you have a problem, don't you think?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

TIL I piss too much

Take your medicine

Most people have attention spans with limits.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, that's how syndromes work. Having one or two of these things is expected. Having half of them isn't.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

To further this point, having half of these things can also be a thing for non adhd people... But, like most neurological diversities, it's how often they occur and how much they impact your life that makes the difference.

Everyone forgets their wallet/keys/phone/glasses from time to time... When you forget multiple times a week forever? It's different

but also hypersexuality makes us gods in bed.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

the forgetting words and particularly names parts sometimes scares the hell out of me. i'm not that old but i'm like "is this early onset dementia"

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Been diagnosed with ADHD, but I just know I'm lazy. You do too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

If you've been diagnosed but think you're lazy you're certainly not treating your illness.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I wish I could just be lazy.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

Looking at this like "Bingo card!"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

A lot of these just seem like specific, downstream effects of a handful of the symptoms. It doesn't seem like a "hidden" aspect of having ADHD.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Trouble recalling commonly used words is a big one for me. Also I use other words as placeholder who are adjacent in my head, like dishwasher and washing machine. Followed by frustration that people don't have the same association and immediately understand what I mean

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

"Thingy," "that thing," "thingamabob," and "whatchacallit" are all valid ways that myself, my friends, and my family refer to items. Sometimes there's an adjective or relative descriptor used to clarify, like "that spiky thing," or "the blue thingy next to the TV."

Do you also sometimes go through the alphabet when trying to find a word? Usually if I can figure out what sound/letter starts the word I'm looking for, I can find the rest of it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I don’t define myself as ADHD but I’ve been doing that for years. It doesn’t always work but I it primes by brain to be aware of all the letters. Good for wordle, trivia, etc.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Usually I remember the inflection and number of syllables of the word I want, just not the actual sounds.
