Is that really what ADHD + anxiety is like? I feel like I do this several times a day... ๐Ÿ˜ฐ

My wife saw a comic by ADHD Alien that made her realize she should probably get checked out.

I don't actually recommend using memes or comics as a replacement for a diagnosis. Usually the successful ones are super relatable, like I relate to them even though I don't have ADHD. But if they're super relatable then that might prompt you to educate yourself about it.

Do you also completely forget what you were about to say?

Yeah, it might be a good idea to get professionally checked

For me personally, it can be like that for sure. Please remember that it can also be other things, but if you notice that you fit the diagnostic criteria, you can always get evaluated.

also make sure to Google realistic portays of the diagnostic criteria.

First year of uni I gave adhd a google, and dismissed it. Over the next few years I slowly realised that those simple words that didn't mean much, actually attempt to simplify much larger issues I didn't even notice were there. Personally I'd suggest reading about the lives of people with adhd and seeing if their stories feel a bit too close to how yours is going.

Or just chat with people with adhd, we'll clock you in a matter of days (if not minutes). There's a certain specific vibe to neurodivergent folks, I can't describe it in mere mortal words but it feels like communicating on the same wavelength, suddenly talking becomes easy

Been down that rabbithole. No, not unless you can scale up and have wholesale milk supply. Ideally a few local farms that can sell it to you outside their contracts, which they may not be able to.

It's just so... buttery, isn't it? I might have to go buy some popcorn now.
