I know this has to be a common thing or at least I assume it to be but whenever I hear people talk about ADHD they describe the procrastination but also mention that usually their anxiety/fear of missing a due date pushes them to do it last minute and I just don’t feel this. I never feel that anxiety about missing and assignment and I don’t get that extra motivation to do it so it usually doesn’t get done. Then when it doesn’t get done I say oh no and move on, doesn’t cross my mind until I look at my grades and wonder how this could have possibly happened.
Idk where I’m going with this but it is a behavioral pattern I noticed about myself and don’t like. I think it originated from gradeschool because I was able to get by without doing any homework so I trained myself to not care about those but thats mainly speculation.
Anyone know how to idk mitigate this? I can’t be the only one
I have ADHD inattentive and this was me before the urgency thing developed but it developed like fucked up so that it was just a source of anxiety. Dont look at it like a personal failing, you might need accommodations. I really wish that stuff existed when I was in school. It took me a long time to undo some of the ways I fucked myself up over the years. Some I’ll probably never undo. Take this seriously!
