ADHD is being intelligent and hard working but completely unable to decide a career path, so drifting through life into your 40s when you finally realise you have ADHD and have wasted the past 25 years.

If you're my husband the key is apparently to marry an autist and let her manage all your projects.

Shit gets done.

That sounds more like depression to me?

But in my ADHD experience: I'd think of 1000 fun things to do, but do some minor hyperfixation thing(s) and then it's 3am and I did nothing I should have done or actually wanted to do 😵‍💫

It can go both ways. If it goes your way, I consider that a successful day. Its usually easier to just watch YouTube videos to no end instead of doing all the cool things you thought about.

My nemesis, choice paralysis, how you are the bane of my existence.

Is this really an ADHD thing?

[–] sgtlion@hexbear.net 2 points 2 hours ago

I think maybe literally every person I know does this

Executive dysfunction can be a symptom of other things but also ADHD.

It is for me.

Ooh, which one did you get?!

[–] asbestos@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Please don’t answer or I’ll have to waste 3 days researching amplifiers

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 hours ago

I’m looking forward to three days researching amplifiers!
