Relatable

@projectotakux Oh yeah. I think all neuro a-typicals get them pretty bad. OCD get the worst ones, but ADHD just amplifies them into entire episodes in their own right. For those that don't know, here's two examples of what the ADHD flavor of intrusive thoughts looks like. https://i.imgur.com/JmsB9ZB.jpeg https://i.imgflip.com/5f9yl8.jpg

@chocopyro Yeahh its all confusing, I feel like I have symptons of both, could be more ADD now but I definitely was the hyper cant stay still, twitching fast thought as a kid. I grew more chill after awhile but I still see the symptons.

@joemama711 Yeah, same here. Truth is, ADD and ADHD are actually the same thing, and it's perfectly normal to experience symptoms of both. Back when the diagnosis was first created in the early 1900s, they paid more attention to the symptoms, and misclassified it as a learning disorder. And since those symptoms stayed with the medical community for so long, some people still think they are two different disorders. Most people with a real diagnosis of it grow out of the hyperactivity. Meaning that one trait could be attributed to literally just being a fucking kid, and when they were diagnosing children willy nilly just for being hyper, a lot of people got misdiagnosed. I blame the pharma companies. Then we got older, most of those misdiagnosed people didn't grew up being perfectly normal, where as people with a real diagnosis were given the degrading diagnosis of "Adult ADD". Nowadays, the diagnosis has changed. Its just ADHD now, even those of us who don't have the traditional stuff associated with the H. Took neurologists finally looking at our brains before they said "Hold on, this is actually real. This dude's brain is not wired pretty differently form a neurotypcial." For example, The reason we have trouble starting tasks isn't laziness. It's a brain chemical called dopamine. For normal people, it fire to get them motivated, or give them a sense of satisfaction for completing a task. In ADHD, It doesn't fire in the same way that it does for normal people. Instead what fires is the same response from the brain we get when experiencing PHYSICAL PAIN. Since there's no pain to respond to, we just feel exhausted instead. And that's why we take procrastination to an extreme. Literally doing ANYTHING other than the low stimulation tasks we've been trying to mentally prep ourselves for. Hence why we make this face when we get around to doing the dishes three days after we intended to. https://i.pinimg.com/736x/b5/9b/04/b59b04da6261122f6265a803e952dad7.jpg (That reminds me, I was going to go to the bank this morning.)

@chocopyro that makes a ton of sense since back in the day pharma companies weren't as developed as before/ could have been lazy probably both. I try to do tasks early just to get them out of the way but I get so bored with most long videos or having to read a lot. My step brother was born with low functioning autisum so I did question having it myself
