My son just said “My ADHD is so severe, it’s AD4K”
ADHD people being mentally and physically exhausted but still staying up because they didn't get enough "me time" after surviving the whole day.
Its crazy how if you get good grades they just let you raw dog adhd your whole life
adhd is so funny why am i procrastinating playing a video game. that i want to play
My mom doesn’t think I have adhd bc it doesn’t run in the family
the ADHD urge to use parenthesis in every sentence (because every thought comes with additional bonus content)
Our parents have autism, add, adhd, bi polar disorder depression they just walk the earth undiagnosed
found out that the reason I dont miss people is because of ADHD 😭 it really is out of sight out of mind
ten years before i knew I had ADHD i took adderall at a music festival. my friends were all jacked up and dancing but I was like “it’s suddenly manageable for me to sit calmly under this tree and reply to some text messages”
This is one of the most accurate portrayals of ADHD ever shown on TV.
i hate when someone with adhd tell me “i’ll do it in a sec” like ho you’re lying. you’re not even gonna remember it in a sec.
this what adhd brain looks like
Having ADHD is like, "I have a thing I have to do in four hours, so I don't have time to do anything before that happens."
ADHD is putting a task off for a month until you receive some bizarre energy boost that carries you through it, only to realise it took you less than half an hour and wasn't worth the stress.
My bf just started medication for ADHD and he's so fucking mad they're working he just filled out a calendar
A study on ADHD by University of Central Florida
is it burnout? ADHD? the trauma of an ongoing pandemic? capitalism? climate crisis? just kidding it's all of these things and the only answer I've got for us is "go lay down"
Doctors: ADHD medication is addictive, that's why it's so restricted and controlled Most people with ADHD: I forgot to take my meds again lmao
Getting diagnosed with ADHD as an adult feels like being told you suck at Mario Kart your whole life and then finding out your game generates 40 times more banana peels than it's supposed to
ADHD is knowing you have a deadline, wasting time for eight hours, then neglecting all your body's basic needs until it's done
only with adhd would you procrastinate having to piss
Day 2 on ADHD meds and I can’t believe I’ve been barebacking it through life for 25 years. It’s 3pm and I’ve almost done all my work for the day!!
I don't cry easily, but as the dad of a teenage son with autism, ADHD & anxiety issues, watching Tim Walz's 17-year-old son(who has a non-verbal learning disorder, ADHD & anxiety disorder)standing up, crying & pointing to the stage telling everyone "that's my dad" just gutted me
new adhd meme just dropped
The anxious ADHD urge to be incredibly clean in common spaces but have your room look like a storage room and a landfill had a kid
adhd is such a stupid disability. "sorry i know my body is perfectly fine but i have debilitating stupid fucking incompetent idiot disease. yes the one cartoons one from tumblr. yes really"
Lazy = I don’t want to do the thing. ADHD = I desperately WANT to do the thing, but I just can’t seem to START doing the thing.
ADHD is so different internally vs. externally. You'll spend 3 hours trying to convince yourself to cook lunch, feeling like shit and getting anxious because you can't just stand up and do it, and people just see you sprawled on the couch scrolling through your phone.
unmedicated ADHD baddies, how do you do it? SOS idk how to take life raw like this
One of the reasons people don't recognize ADHD as a disability is that they see ADHD struggles (with things like organisation, tidyness, timeliness, communication etc) as personal failings. That is ableism.
Hi, if you're looking into ADHD and keep stopping yourself with the "but I'm probably just lazy", please know that everyone I've met who got diagnosed with ADHD as an adult felt the same way before diagnosis. You wouldn't be angsting over it so much it it was just laziness.
With ADHD I have exactly three types of work days: ✔️ Get absolutely nothing done ✔️ Get 4 hours of work done, at a random time of day ✔️ Get 40 hours of work done in 8 hours
Person with ADHD: *exists* Random people: have you tried using a planner
Anyone who didn’t find out about their ADHD until after their 20s should get a free redo.
It’s a cruel joke that ADHD symptoms get worse with sleep deprivation, and also ~75% of people with ADHD have Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome.
the adhd art of ruining your own alone time. I wanted to read. I’ve been wanting to read since 9:30 pm. It’s 1:14am and I’ve done nothing but go between twt and tiktok and occasionally just stare at my ceiling I HATE my brain at times like these😭
The biggest medical scam: ADHD. It’s not a mental disorder, it’s a superpower in disguise. Here’s how you turn ADHD into hyper-focus (backed by science):
ADHD is not a disorder. It’s a difference in cognition. You need to harness it, not sedate with pills. Once you do, it will make you hyper-focus. Here’s what you can do to turn ADHD into a superpower: 🧵
One of the most profound things I read in my original journey to ADHD diagnosis was what Dr. Ned Hallowell calls “the cough drop sign” in the book, Driven To Distraction. I’d never felt more seen before reading this quote. It comes from one of Hallowell’s ADHD patients:
Black parents when their children show clear signs of having ADHD/Autism
AuDHD is so cool cause you can take adderall and be 100% autistic or you can get drunk and be 100% ADHD
i wonder how many people are misdiagnosed with personality disorders because no one understands how batshit insane severe adhd can get lol

My 16 year old niece stayed with us this week. She told us very nonchalantly and very genuinely that “everyone” her age is trans, nonbinary, queer, ADHD, autistic, and/or bipolar. I’m not anti any of these identities, but how are they so prominent in younger people and why?
Media ADHD: bouncing off the walls, can’t sit still. Real ADHD: I have not moved from this chair in three hours. I am completely still. Inside my head is a washing machine. I am having four conversations, two of which are arguments from 2019. I look like I’m relaxing.
