OK, I've seen enough of these comments that I need to make the first rule.

Do not make condescending comments like "This is just normal things everyone does, not your self-diagnosed ADHD." or "Everyone has ADHD now /s"

This is a meme community for ADHD people, not your personal soapbox. We don't care why you think we find these relatable.

Making comments like these is causing those posting these memes to be discouraged, and dismissing their lived experiences. Don't be that person.

Just for the record, not every ADHD person is the same. I don't identify with all of these memes, nor do I think they're all necessarily ADHD-related. But even as someone with ADHD, I recognize that not every reacts the same way and I don't know all the possible symptoms of it. And If I, with diagnosed ADHD can't know that, you, a random lemming, certainly don't know either!

Likewise, if you find most of these memes relatable, you might have ADHD, or you might have Autism, or both! These two are close cousins, their symptoms overlap and they have a high comorbidity with each other. Relating too much with ADHD memes is a typical first step which led a lot of people to realizing they had it! Feel free to read up on the ADHD symptoms and get diagnosed if you think it's currently affecting your life significantly.

That said, anyone making this sort of comments, is gonna get a one-week ban from this community for party pooping. If you want to complain that "everyone has ADHD now" or some shit, go do it elsewhere. Naturally we use common sense. It's OK to ask questions in good faith.

As always, this is a "fuck around and find out" rule. We'll know it when we see it.

PS: Since we added a new rule, I could also use some mods to enforce it. If any of you is up for this, lemme know. I will only add people who I've seen interact with this or other ADHD communities positively.

And here's an extremely relevant meme to lighten the mood:

This particular habit I've been cultivating for over five months. I stopped for a week because I was insanely busy, and I'm taking a break from my medication. I couldn't motivate myself to do it after going off, and I was worried I was only doing it because I was medicated. I'm happy to say I'm doing it today to prove myself wrong.

• Decide you will finally make a to-do list to catch up
• Set a time to make it sometime later today
• Don't make said list because you already accomplished making this list

The instance I'm on is federated with lemmy world so I know that's not the issue

Those two vertical lines on the right side aren't part of the meme. They're faults on my TV that I keep forgetting about the moment I stop consciously noticing them. And on the rare occasion that I'm moved to try and do something about it, I'm stopped from getting it fixed by 3 things

1: I would need to fill out a shitload of paperwork for the warranty to cover the repair

2: I would need to have the faintest idea what date each fault started (there was several months between, but I don't know anything more specific than that..)

3: I'd have to bring it in for repair myself, I don't have a car and I don't know anyone with a big enough car that I feel comfortable asking

4: thought of another hurdle as I was typing it all out but forgot again before I got to the end to add it.

Maybe I should call the store I bought it at and explain the situation, see if there's anything they can do to help. Which of course is super for my social anxiety comorbidity 🤦😮‍💨

Meme pilfered from How To ADHD Meme reaction video 😁

No srsly, check 8bitdrummer out though. He's a good guy which is incredibly rare. Just a happy/feel good vibes drummer who jams to some crazy music

I've done this a lot...even though I'm not confirmed to have ADHD, I'm autistic though

Image: meme of three panels with the same guy looking pretty bored, pensive, and slow in various locations by himself. The captions reads, "My ADHD brain waiting for the Ritalin to kick in every AM."

This video is a deep dive into HVAC systems, but each of his videos are pretty interesting and about different topics.
