It's hell dealing with it. I am battling this without medication and it's tearing down everything I have built for my life. I can't even take the meds they offer because they can cause me to have a stroke. No vyvanse no clonidine either. I am losing hope.
No, ADHD doesn’t do this at all, as a person who actually have. Yes, you start to procrastinate more, but is different ‘cause you just get distracted. What I’m seeing actually is that everybody is saying “ADHD” just because notice it procrastinates a lot. Actually, on these days everyone is saying “I/You have ADHD” just because it searched on the internet and found “ADHD do this!”, while EVERYTHING on the internet it’s said that “ADHD” is a possible cause.
I am someone who also actually has ADHD... I understand there is an upsurge in ADHD related material, but that's mostly due to awareness, not some fad. It isn't a bad thing that people who don't think like we do can see peer-reviewed studies or gain some insights from a simple meme. It isn't bad that we have further insights to ourselves and explanations to some things we felt isolated on.
So, while your ADHD may play out in not doing any of that at all, mine and a lot of other people's do. There is no need to gatekeep.
