So, uh, serious question. Is it not like this for everyone?
Apparently some people can just...get stuff done somehow?
You are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
That's the thing about ADHD memes, they tend to resonate with a lot of people who are apparently not ADHD.
I'm not an expert and others here will explain this better than me.
If this behaviour is an indicator of ADHD, then the severity could be arranged along a spectrum. Someone with ADHD is more likely to exhibit the behaviour in an excessive and harmful way.
Apparently not. I am just learning this myself. Go see a doctor (assuming you are in a location that doesn't treat healthcare like it's pay to win).
Nope, most people can't imagine struggling to motivate yourself
It's not even a question of motivation. Every ADHD person I know is highly motivated. It's the ability to act on that motivation that's impaired.
I'm not sure that's true.
