And then there's their child:
"fuck I still haven't done that. I need to do it soon. It can be later, but I need to do it. It's been months already, anytime now someone is gonna complain I didn't do it. Hopefully this week I will"
Why not both
Yes, followed immediately by painful bouts of guilt. Not enough to motivate me to do anything about it. But guilt nonetheless.
Holy shit, that has a name?!
... Am I supposed to seek medical advice now or what?
I did after finding too many of these memes very relatable
I’m very glad I did
Guess I'm just lazy :/
Are you tho? Like, would you be able to get up no problem or are you actually unable to do it
I’m struggling with this now. I have a project at work and I am stumbling on it hard. I’ve done well with smaller projects and help desk, but I just can’t seem to stay focused on this larger project. I’m afraid of what the consequences will be
Oof, I know that feeling! I find that my brain doesn't want to start a task that I know I can't finish in the same day. Makes tackling a large project like that incredibly daunting.
I've found the best way to overcome that feeling is to break the project into daily tasks. In a sense, turning the large project into many smaller projects helps trick the brain into getting the dopamine. Small wins help!
Yeah, I ended up moving on to another task in the project, which I think will actually make finishing the one I was stuck on easier. I’m still stressed but less than I was. The momentum is nice, just have to keep it up. I’m looking forward to when i finish this and move on to help desk :P
Can ADHD be acquired? Or rather a symptom of other cognitive affliction?
One of the diagnostic criteria of ADHD is that it’s life long, which means it can’t be acquired. However, it’s possible to acquire symptoms that are similar to ADHD, but then it’s probably something else.
As others have said, it's a life long thing, but a lot of the patterns can be brought on in people who don't have it with consistent sleep deprivation and a state of tiredness and exhaustion. If you're starting to relate more and more to ADHD memes well into adulthood, try to get a few nights of good sleep!
Good suggestion, I do feel exhausted and could use more sleep. Thats an easy-ish thing to try, framing it as an health improvement experiment might do it.
ADHD is contagious, like AIDS
Unfortunately, some people still believe this is true, just like some people believe AIDS is contagious by touch: https://www.npr.org/sections/13.7/2015/08/17/432541935/belief-that-mental-illness-can-be-contagious-contributes-to-isolation
The extensive research on ADHD has shown that it is a developmental disorder of the prefrontal cortex, causing dopamine signaling pathways to act differently than expected in neurotypical brains. Because it has to do fundamentally with how the structures form as the brain develops, it's very unlikely that one can acquire it later in life (neuroplasticity is a thing but I've not read anything to suggest that it could alter the brain in such a fundamental way).
Some possibilities, that others have mentioned:
Very informative, ill take chronic stress in my case. That was mostly due to high anxiety. It makes sense that I can relate to many of the ADHD mêmes it took a toll. I'm much better now,
I don't like the wording "developmental disorder of the brain" when talking about brain functions... Because to me if somebody is shorter than somebody else, we don't call it "developmental disorder of the bones"
What is the prevalence of ADHD compared to "physical" developmental disorders?
Link? Edit: I'm dumb.

Please brain, let me get up and do it
Is the movie Kill Bill a metaphor for a distracted mind becoming focused?
Quentin could turn his life around on his own after a friend considered it wasted.

That's by definition not ADHD. I am still wondering if I can get something helpful out of the movie.
I like that you doodled it and it came out pretty good.
Thank you!
Read Laziness Does Not Exist. Highly recommend,
Jesus Christ you people are so fucking petty.
who?
There's been some drama lately from !fuck_ai@lemmy.world and a troll decided to crosspost it to YPTB to try and stir the pot further. Seems some people are trying to get banned from dbzer0 now just by being petty.
Did you get consent from the other person to redraw their comic?
Did anyone get consent from all the artists whose work was scraped to make the shitty AI that made their comic?
Me in executive dysfunction, imagining how sweet it would be to be done with the task:
I hate how relatable this is.
Its why I love "getting organized" and making a well structured plan of what I will do the next day. It makes me feel so accomplished that I wake up the next morning and realize I already got all the dopamine I could get from making the plan. It's basically like I already did all those things. So there is no reason to rush and do them now.
The key is to do just enough so you woke up feeling the need to complete the tasks. It's a constant struggle. Sometimes it feels you did too little and was like "why do I bother" and end up postponing everything and the other end is what you've just described.
But when I got it right, chef's kiss
