Rule 1. No party pooping

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:

Meds making me cranky?
(lemmy.nz)
(Picture to get some good vibes going)
Lately I'm not quite enjoyable for those around me.
I got quite a bit on my plate and I have trouble winding down. Not gonna bother with the details but let's say life isn't always as smooth sailing. To the point where I'm quite grumpy at the slightest inconvenience.
I'm trying to narrow it down to:
-I'm always "on". Call me late to the party but the last years with everything coming to light about how this world is truly run. I can't fully enjoy and let go anymore. Not while knowing there's genocide going on at the hands of a few billionaire scumbags. (Stop following the news? I don't know if I can)
-too much to do: I have quite a list of stuff to do that just doesn't seem to let off. Today I did some long overdue cleaning in the hobbyspace and still it only made a dent.
-and finally: meds. I'm currently only taking half my adhd meds, and I don't take them on off days (to cut costs and to go easy on my heart). Is that maybe a thing? Inconsistency?
I used to kinda live past my adhd blindspots, but nowadays they're very upfront and it's confronting. ("I was suposed to do X and forgot to do Y, and that stings").

Good news is that I'm going with friends and I'm the most prepared.
This is gonna be a disaster.
The best road trips always are.
But at least I'm not in charge of the play list.
