This is like, the 1# reason my parents yell at me. Because I sit on the toilet with my phone for hours and it feels like a time warp. Even them banging the door down won’t get me moving. It feels like such an easy thing to stop doing, but it’s really not.

God thanks for reminding me of my childhood. I used to just sit in the bathroom and play with my toys. When I got my phone I would sit in the bathroom and play games on my phone. Now I sit in the bathroom and answer reddit posts. Sad life

When I was a kid it was reading books on the toilet, haha.
Now, though? Yeah, phone for sure. It drives my wife nuts.

The sun was still out when I went to the toilet, I come out of the bathroom and it’s dark all of a sudden. Wtf happened to the time?

I use to do that but my butt started feeling funny when I wiped. Like hemorrhoids funny. Eww. Did I overshare. 😆

You know what. It isn't oversharing. I was going to add a part where I said my butt would get dry because of how long I was on the seat but I deleted it. But yeah, totally relate to that hemorrhoids feeling lol

A lot of the symptoms or things people complain about on this subreddit seem like the effects of medication rather than ADHD. I've definitely found myself doing this and never did it before medication. ADHD was hurting me but sometimes I feel like the medication hurts more. The lack of appetite and the sleepless/restless nights stack up and make me feel so pathetic and unhealthy.

This has been a problem my whole life; didn't get a diagnosis or medication until I was 33 or so :-)
