How some of us found out... - Lemmy.World

Wait, I can sleep right after drinking coffee. Is it similar?

Welcome! You’re possibly a self medicating ADHD person.

Otter common signs you should get checked out

  • do you sit there paralyzed and unable to do a task, even when you want to do it and know it needs to get done?

  • are you weirdly calm and effective in stressful and panicked situations?

  • do you get really into a hobby for a while, then drop it forever because you lose all interest?

If so, a diagnosis could be life altering.

Not trying to be a naysayer or anything, but aren’t these all normal? Otherwise I’m a mega ADHD.
a lot of adhd things are “normal” problems that people deal with, except that they are often dialed up to the point of affecting a person’s daily life negatively.
So much this. Like sure. Zoning out/disassociating is totally normal. When you spend 1/2 your day doing it and it’s manifested as paralysis it becomes A bit of a fucking issue.
