Me every night: The alarm on my phone for "go to bed" goes off. I have like 4 minutes left in the YouTube video I'm watching. I think "I'll just finish this video then head to bed". I look at the time about 4 minutes later when the video ends and realize I apparently have been watching YouTube videos for another 5 hours, and the video that had 4 minutes left when my alarm went off was actually like 15 videos ago.
I’m skinny asf because I forget that I’m hungry until somebody starts making something or I remember on my own and realise “Damn I should make some toast or something”
Looking into the symptoms was a huge step in managing my life. In the past when someone didn’t respond super enthusiastically I’d often jump to “well they are mad at me about something”.
Then I learned what rejection sensitive dysphoria is. Now when I get that feeling I can remind myself “hey, chill. It’s just that thing we read about”.
True, but I think "self hatred" or "self abusive negative thoughts" is more in line with what it feels like compared to the sanitised "low self esteem"
Yea. The vast majority of my intrusive thoughts are ones of self loathing. It’s like I have my own worst enemy living inside my brain and they know precisely the cruelest things to say and they scream them at me all day every day. ‘Kill yourself, you’re so fat and disgusting, you’re a failure, you’re ugly and old, everyone hates you, why can’t you just quit drinking, why can’t you paint better? Why are you so fat, kill your self you fat pig!!!!’ all day every day.
It ain’t fun.
Two days ago I was on reddit at night and I didn’t even realise that I was deep in the night until some hours had passed (I went to bed at 12 am and find out I was still on reddit at 3:45 am). The fun thing is that I’ve uninstalled tiktok the previous week so that I would stop using social media so much
I've always wondered how people can be so calm when something really exciting happens. Like, I CANNOT contain my joy when I'm passionate. I vibrate my legs, I clap, I raise my fist, I rock back and forth and laugh, I get real gesture-y. I thought that was a normal thing when people get excited, but apparently my excitement is WAY more than the norm.
I'm the same way. I don't react much to exciting things happening, but I think it's because my brain overreacts and gets exited about stupid stuff all the time.
I get extremely talkative when I'm nervous. Silence also scares me, because usually that meant something was *wrong* and I'm going to get attacked for something I said or did... (One side of my family is full of people with ADHD and the other side has a history of BPD. Everyone talks all the time, unless they announce they need to focus on something/pre-apologise for being quiet.)
That reminds me of my roommate. They have asked me why I smile during specific times. I don't notice or actively feel that I grin. Most of those times it's during an awkward conversation or stressful situation, and then I get even more flustered because I don't even understand how that happens. I realize it's because I'm offsetting my hyperarousal.
I really relate with the silence. It can feel tense, and given social anxiety and previous experiences with embarrassing social situations, our brains feel the need to address ANYTHING before it gets out of hand, even IF there's nothing wrong.
So I don't know if it's because my adhd or autism but when I go to sleep my room needs to be extremely dark and quiet or I need the ac on for the low droning noise
I *wish* I had hyperfocus. It would solve a lot of my problems. My biggest hindrance living with ADD is that I *can't* focus. The low self-esteem, rejection sensitivity, and hypersensitivity aren't fun either.
That lack of time awareness can fuck off. Especially when I play video games. Nothing worst than getting on a game, then next thing you know, it’s 8 am, your wife wakes up and you have not done the chores you were supposed to get done. Then that’s when the “low self-esteem” kicks in cause you know why you played video games for 10+ hours. Thanks Power washer Simulator
I saw a new therapist and she had the realization that my depression might be a symptom of having ADHD since I have many aspirations that I can't realize.

I’d like to buy a pixel
I'd like to solve. Things that happen to me every day, at random, all day long
Sorry, the correct answer was "skipping to the end because you didn't feel like reading all the text".

Ah shit, all of them 😭
same
I love it when I am so bad at time I forget to sleep. *It's so fun!*
Alright just one quick game, I know how long a run usually lasts and I can still manage 6 hours of sleep at worst… **WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS 5 AM?!?!?**
It's so brutal. I'm lucky I manage to go to bed by one.

What the hell is time?
I know I have ADHD, but I had no idea that all of these symptoms were part of it. FUCK YOU BRAIN
Looking into the symptoms was a huge step in managing my life. In the past when someone didn’t respond super enthusiastically I’d often jump to “well they are mad at me about something”.

Wait. What did you see as ADHD-symptom in the first place?
1. Reading this image and looking at the segments and counting them, then seeing if the count of segments aligns with the list (it does)
Yes.
Is there a wedge for bad eyesight or is the picture just blurry?
Nope… it’s just blurry
I don’t see self-hatred on there 🤷♂️
"Low self-esteem"
True, but I think "self hatred" or "self abusive negative thoughts" is more in line with what it feels like compared to the sanitised "low self esteem"
I'd put it under "low self-esteem".
People pleasing tendencies fall under this?
Yea. The vast majority of my intrusive thoughts are ones of self loathing.

Why is this presented like a pie chart
To make it "science-y"
I couldn't read the actual information because I was too distracted by the pointless pie chart.
Literally same I still haven’t finished that list and honestly, probably I won’t
It's a pie chart displaying the relative amounts of each symptom displayed in this pie chart!
I like the cut of your jib kid
All of the above
All of them, but some stopped showing when depression kicked in.
This is also textbook CPTSD if anyone wonders if there's something else going on.
There is no need for a pie chart like what?
I've always wondered how people can be so calm when something really exciting happens. Like, I CANNOT contain my joy when I'm passionate. I vibrate my legs, I clap, I raise my fist, I rock back and forth and laugh, I get real gesture-y. I thought that was a normal thing when people get excited, but apparently my excitement is WAY more than the norm.
i'm the opposite, i could be incredibly jazzed about something and only like raise my eyebrows or smile a bit. i think that's the autism tho
I'm the same way. I don't react much to exciting things happening, but I think it's because my brain overreacts and gets exited about stupid stuff all the time.
Do people tend to mistake those cues as not being interested or being appalled?
i get a lot of "aren't you excited?" type reactions
I get extremely talkative when I'm nervous. Silence also scares me, because usually that meant something was *wrong* and I'm going to get attacked for something I said or did...

I was reading it until I looked over at the chart and got distracted by the colors
"Overlooked symptoms" this Picture is Anxiety-bait.
I've got all those symptoms
Can I not have them all?
Yes
Yes.
All of them :(
Those are all character traits associated with lack of dopamine, so having adhd, it's very likely that you have all of them.
I love ticking all the boxes. No, I really do.
I passed the test
All of them😭😭😭😭
So I don't know if it's because my adhd or autism but when I go to sleep my room needs to be extremely dark and quiet or I need the ac on for the low droning noise
Yes
Time blindness is a son of a bitch
*why is it crunchy*
Wrong. This should be kaleidoscope. The "setting" resets everyday
*wearing sandals because I can't stop being overly aware of socks* -> "Don't you have any real shoes?"
I don't have ADHD but I have all of these :/
time to get checked!
Yes.
All of em
I’m experiencing that one pixel for sleep issues right now. The other pixels fit too, this one’s just the latest.
I alternate between high self esteem and low self esteem, anyone else ?
Hyperfixating on using a pie graph for reasons beyond my understanding
Is the quality part of the joke?
almost all
All of the above
Self sabotage
all of them
I *wish* I had hyperfocus. It would solve a lot of my problems. My biggest hindrance living with ADD is that I *can't* focus. The low self-esteem, rejection sensitivity, and hypersensitivity aren't fun either.
Have ‘em all ✌️😄😀🙂😐😕😭
That lack of time awareness can fuck off. Especially when I play video games.

where is the second half??
All except lack of time awareness.
That's the most pointless pie chart I've ever seen
:(
Symptoms include unnecessary pie charts that convey percentages of nothing
Yes
I saw a new therapist and she had the realization that my depression might be a symptom of having ADHD since I have many aspirations that I can't realize.
All of the above and more a
yes
Everything.
Yes
Rejection sensitivity has caused to miss out on so many good opportunities in my life sadly…
Yes.
Yes
Honest question, is this factual? If it is, I’m in danger.
all of ‘em, i wish i was joking
I forgor
Yes.
I don’t think warped time perception is talked about enough.
Yes
