Saturday I had a plans, errands and cleanings. I’m proud to say I did it ! Sure it’s just errands and cleaning, but doing it, and finishing it, felt so good. Until my self deprecation tried to down play. But still proud of myself.
Congrats!
Thank you !
I will happily walk a mile and a half for an errand; but if I need something I left on another floor of my house? “Nah, I’ll do it later.”
There is no T in Swiffer. It’s SWIFFER!
Wow my brain just read it as Swiffer.
I’ll go to get the swifter, but then I’ll see there is a creaky door and I’ll go to get some wd40 instead but then I’ll find a laundry pile that I need to move and I really don’t want to deal with that so I’ll email somebody.
But then the computer wasn’t charged so now you need to do it on your phone, but then YouTube had this nice oooone new shiny video you wanna watch. Before you know it there goes 8 hours of the day on the phone and it’s way past bedtime already and you forgot to eat dinner.
Are you watching me?
Just talking about myself :D
Why was “adhd” censored from the original image?

I personally don’t agree that it was an egregious misuse of the term but I’ll get over it.

Don’t even have ADHD (I don’t think), but this happens all the time with house projects. A seemingly trivial task that I think will only take less than an hour suddenly takes up my entire day as one small part of the thing suddenly goes awry and I get half a dozen smaller tasks just to account for fixing that small thing that tripped up the original task. By the time I finally get back to the original “trivial” task, my day is already fucked.
“Oh shit, stripped a screw and this is about to fall apart, I’ll need to go to the store to get a new part for this. Should be pretty standard, I’ll probably find the part right away.” Get to the store. “Oh shit, there’s like 5 different standards for this thing and none of these exactly match the original thing I had, but I didn’t bring the part, so I can’t even compare. This looks closest to it though, I’ll just grab this, it should work.” Get back home. “Goddamnit, it’s not the right part, it’s off by like 1/2 an inch, shit, I need to take this back and get a different one.” Back to the store. “Ok, this seems to be the right thing, but there’s some extra mounting that’s needed, but what I already have at home should work.” Get back home. “GODDAMNIT.”

This sub is weird. There’s so many things that are posted here that are just normal things that people do. People lose motivation. People get distracted. People get derailed during conversations or activities. Yet, I feel like every single one of these things are co-opted by posters as “this is such a silly adhd thing that I do”. No…it’s fucking not. Your adhd may make it worse, but literally everyone does this shit. I’m not ragging on people with adhd, my issue is entirely with the quality of the posts here. It makes it look like normal shit that people do sometimes, or even something’s that you do when your depressed gets brushed under this “adhd” catch-all. It’s so frustrating to read posts from this sub sometimes.
Edit: sorry for being “vulgar”. Mods are cool, and took steps to address concerns. +1 to them.
Read rule 1.
Edit: (Guys, no need to report his comment, I will leave it as an example. Thank you for trying to help. <3)
Oh okay. Just accept that any and every normal human emotion and challenge falls conveniently under “adhd struggles” with zero questions or concerns.
I’m not allowed to be frustrated with anything in here as it may harsh your vibes. Got it. Makes fantastic sense.
Those are images for people with ADHD, they’re not directed at neurotypicals nor they’re supposed to be informative. It’s just a place for ADHD people to have fun, relate to each other, and share their struggles and successes. While I agree that some posts may be a miss it doesn’t mean that they don’t completely belong as ADHD has lots of comorbidities making them relevant here too. If you really think that “so many things that are posted here” are in no way related to ADHD then it just shows your poor understanding of ADHD and it’s comorbidities and instead of starting a nice discussion on it you just start a dumb vulglar rant. Why do you think rule 1 had to be implemented?
It wasn’t intended to a be a “vulgar” rant.
Just realized you’re the mod - you’re just trying to add content and keep the page alive. I get it. It’s just frustrating seeing some content like this - it’s like the equivalent of someone saying they are OCD about being organized and missing the mark of what being OCD actually is.

I mean, doing it over and over again, way more often than healthy people is an ADHD thing. But how the original poster used that term indeed sucks. I will censor it out and swap the image.
Edit: fixed grammar
Lmao fuck off, It’s not debilitating for every “normal human.”
You’re allowed to be frustrated with anything you choose. We just ask that you keep discourse civil and (generally) respectful. Your post wasn’t deleted - we’re just trying to let you know that you’re approaching a boundary which kills the fun for the majority of this sub
Apologies. Just expressing frustration. Didn’t intend for it to be “vulgar”. Just a little heated.
And that’s okay! I can’t speak for everybody else here, but I value the ability for everybody to participate in open discourse. Sharing and consuming differing opinions helps to prevent this area from becoming an echo chamber.
We can disagree while remaining cool. That’s what’s important
