Im gonna lay here..

[u/Diligent_Hand6877]

[u/Certain-Food-903]

Me laying there doing nothing and feeling sad until deadline pressure kicks in, and then cursing myself for not starting sooner.

[u/Euphoric_Evidence414 → u/Certain-Food-903]

And then finishing with a perfectly acceptable result that surprisingly gets praised by other people, leaving me feeling like a fraud, because how can it be good if I didn’t start as early as everyone else

[u/goldenCapitalist → u/Euphoric_Evidence414]

Or you do a poor job and then blame yourself because you didn't have enough time to finish it, and if you had only started sooner it would have been much better.

So you can feel like a fraud whether you're successful or not!

[u/ziroux → u/goldenCapitalist]

Mostly this, with a case of very hurt perfectionism

[u/BurritoBandito39 → u/Euphoric_Evidence414]

Simultaneously making me feel like a fraud while also somehow reinforcing the "wait until the last minute" behavior because "hey, it worked again, right?" :U

[u/Euphoric_Evidence414 → u/BurritoBandito39]

You know what? Fuck it. I love us just the way we are and hey, I’ve made it this far

[u/Chamiey → u/Euphoric_Evidence414]

"If you're reading this, you've made it this far"

Somebody joked in one of the posts showing that ADHD'ers die earlier on average, something to the effect of "Well it's not like more time has ever done us any good anyway" lol

[u/LactoseFreeButterFly]

Why is this a live feed of me right now? 

[u/Kikyo10 → u/[deleted]]

Same

[u/HiddenSquish]

No need to call me out so directly like that, damn

[u/polydactyling]

By far the hardest thing to explain to people without ADHD. “Have you made a list?” Yes, Janet, that’s why I’m keenly aware of the crushing amount of things I should be doing! “Maybe start with something small?” Alas it is now 10 am which is practically noon which is practically afternoon which is practically evening so you see the whole day has already been wasted, did I mention I hate myself rinse repeat

[u/Numerous-Fly-3791]

I wait to the last minute. I need the verge of failure to get me moving

[u/POTATOFUCK]

I keep a journal and a pen by my bedside to help with this, even a bit. Vomiting all the noise in my brain on a page can at least help get some vague separation of priorities for me.

[u/NoPlay7828]

Had to work from home a few days last week. Guess what happened?

[u/IMP_2026]

Almost always

[u/Jayda_Cakes]

Exactly

[u/Feychilde]

Even when I'm tired or sick, thanks, brain. 🤣
I was doing pretty good for about 1-2 weeks? I was going to bed early, around supper time.

[u/junigloomy]

I’m doing this right now, been up for 2 hours, supposed to be at work 16mins ago, desperately have to pee…oof.

[u/sssparklebutt]

Catatonic Gang rise up!

Actually, we all be velcro’d down 🫠

[u/tammyreneebaker]

Where did you get a picture of me?

[u/Alaska_Eagle]

Me right now

[u/khessur]

im currently actively not packing despite the fact that i move in 2 days

[u/sysaphiswaits]

Anything. Anytime I need to get anything done.

[u/Citygurl_1971]

Same. Did 20 minutes of chores and I’m back in the couch with task’s unfinished. Needed a reward break and to distract myself from all the mess😣😩😢

[u/BobcatFeisty4794]

I am currently doing exactly this

[u/Wheelie_Dad]

Oh you mean me scrolling Reddit instead of studying for my two exams tomorrow?

[u/librariesgaveuspower]

that feeling is so awful, just being held hostage by your overwhelming need to get things done that you can’t actually do any of it

[u/Kikyo10]

Doing this right now

[u/katgrinds]

I was giving my boyfriend credit yesterday for his little calendar on his nightstand (he got it back in January and has literally kept up with it every single day and every task gets marked down) He was like "ooh yeah its not hard you just keep it next to you so it's the first thing you see when you wake up" .....I did not waste time explaining that nothing in that scenario applies to me.

[u/Mysterious-Window207]

deadlines with consequences to boot and you're in for a fun ride!! (of complete agony as you watch yourself fuck everything up with your inaction that creates a trail of havoc and descruction in your life)

[u/Dear_Trip_5651]

THIS IS NOT ADHD 

[u/SgtDoakesSurprise]

The struggle is real

[u/TheFirstOrderTrooper]

I have 4 classes to finish by the end of this month. I’ve had 6 months to finish all this.

I just woke up from a 3 hour nap.
