That awkward moment when you try to take an ADHD test only to get distracted and not finish it...

Damn this is the highest score I’ve gotten on any test smh

Organising and prioritizing tasks is piss easy. It is remembering to stick to the plan that is my biggest problem.

Lake outside window looks very nice

How many here can honestly say they can sit through a whole YouTube video you are interested in, without having the urge to get up and tell someone about it?

"Inefficient bopping around" is a perfect description of my life

Do you organize your bookshelf like that to see if it’ll trigger a response? Lol

I relate to these so much I always thought it was just my personality or me being dumb

i think as an adult its weird to answer these, because as we grow up we develope strategies to deal with this, i make lists to keep thoughts in order, organize stuff in ways it cant be forgoten, have routines almost like a tik of checking phone, keys, knife wallet in my pockets... its why i dont loose stuff much anymore, its why i can hold down a job as a mechanic. we can even benefit from using our hyperfocus as a plus

The test starts at 2.25 for those fast forwarding through the talking. 1=sometimes 2=often, 3=very often.

Me: *has diagnosed ADHD/ADD and started medication recently*

Reading the comment section, while listening in 1.75 x speed, and also looking at my discord messages, and also having a calculator at hand.

The fact that I replay 3x the first few minutes beacuse I immediately forgot how many numbers are there in the rating 😅

I was a 2 or higher on every one. Always thought I was just broken. Nice to hear I am not alone and others have gone through all this. I'm 25 and am having a consult with my Dr tomorrow.

I got through the first test, then got distracted reading comments 😂. I've been obsessing over researching ADHD since I suspected it in myself about 2 weeks ago. I've been talking to my mom about my behavior as a kid, she's convinced I have it. My official evaluation is next week. I am really looking forward to some clarity. Then I'll be getting 3 of my 4 children evaluated.... our house is a bit crazy, my poor husband. 🤦♀️

Very good way of explaining ADHD. The confusing thing about it is that many symptoms overlap with depression. I think that's why I only got formally diagnosed at 34. I'm sure I have both ADHD and depression, but stimulants have a much larger impact on my brain than anti-depressants, so think I'm more ADHD than depressive.

When my girlfriend asks me (for the 4th time, because she knows me and gives me a lot of chances) to look if there is enough space in the big paper bin in our backyard for those boxes we want to throw away. And I'm like 'sure, I will try really hard this time!' and I'm leaving our apartment and in my head I'm like 'look into the bin! look into the bin! look into the bin!..' and I'm halfway down the stairs (we live on the highest floor in the building) and I'm still like 'look into the bin! Look into...' Next thing I remember is being almost at the supermarket, writing my girl that it just didn't work... But she's super cool and she loves me the way I am and she is very supportive to me finally getting my diagnosis. (Found out that I might have ADHD about a week ago and I'm over thirty.. so ^^ that's the way we go now) <3 much love from Germany, I hope my fellow tribe is doing great

I'm writing these down and using them as a guide for when I talk to my psychiatrist soon. There are SO MANY things in my life that could be explained by an ADHD diagnosis (including that one time as a child where they tested me for it! ha) that if I don't have a guide I'm sure I'll just sound like a manic hypochondriac.
