Saw this on an ADHD Memes account on X. Shit happens more than I would like to admit. lol
have you tried having extremely food-motivated autism to the point that your day is ruined if you don’t get the right food? as a bonus you get motivation to work out because mmmm more space for yummy food in my tumtum omnomnomnomnomnom
The one symptom of ADHD I apparently don’t have. Keep forgetting I’ve already eaten…
Yeah… for me it wasn’t a thing until I started Vyvanse. Now I keep forgetting to eat all day, until it wears off and I binge eat like an idiot later at night.
Unfortunately that kind of forgetting tends to be forgetting if I took my meds before work. Since I fall pray to always being late, and coffee in addition to the “fuck fuck fuck not again!!” rushing around makes it hard to know if my meds are kicking in or if the former making me feel awake.
You still use xitter even after that shithead scam artist took over
I’m lucky with that side of my ADHD, I’m always hungry so I never forget to eat
Never realized this is related to ADHD, just thought my digestive system is stupid or something
You’re not allowed to point that out though. Which is why I just downvote most posts I see in this community instead.
violation of rule 1:
Same! That was like the first “WTF?” thoughts I had (while also lulz-ing). Had to share somewhere that would know the feeling. I have large doses of Impostor Syndrome in basically all parts of my day to day life. But one of the weirder ones is that I might not be actually ADHD and the meds that have been a game changer will be taken away (especially as the pushes to make getting them harder arise). But then I read/watch stuff about ADHD that are waaaaaay to deep a cut into my life to have that “oh shit, well I most certainly have ADHD for real then.” lol. Just so so many parts of my personality and youth just make sense.
It’s due to the distractive nature of hyperfocus.

If I don’t have a bottle of water next to me, I won’t drink water. If I do have a bottle of water next to me, I’ll get distracted by it constantly and drink so much that I’m going to the bathroom every 5 minutes
