ADHDers after oversharing: I have destroyed the relationship and must leave the country
ADHDers when someone overshares with us: Thank fucking god, a real conversation for once.
If your city can afford Flock cameras but can't afford to fill potholes then maybe, just maybe, your city has its priorities in the wrong place.
Can I get a Fuck Flock?

Rent is due, health insurance is tied to employment, groceries aren’t free. Yeah actually. Totally voluntary.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you "cured" your ADHD by sleeping 8 hours a night, exercising daily, and cutting sugar out of your diet, then you did not have ADHD to begin with.
"LISTEN TO YOUR BODY" IS TERRIBLE ADVICE FOR ADHD. 🤡 If I listened to my body, I would eat 2kg of sugar, quit my job via text, and sleep for 3 years. My body doesn't want "health." My body wants Dopamine. It is a toddler screaming for candy. If I do what it wants, I will ruin my life by noon. Who else has a body that tries to sabotage them daily?
ADHD’s worst symptom isn’t distraction, it’s paralysis. Knowing exactly what to do, being fully aware, and still sitting there watching yourself not do it. That silent shame is the part nobody talks about.
having childhood/lifelong depression is so disorienting, because when people talk about "returning to your baseline".... i have no concept of that. i've just been white-knuckling it this whole damn time.
This has a clinical name. Revenge bedtime procrastination. And the ADHD version runs on a completely different mechanism than the neurotypical one.
A neurotypical person stays up late because they want more leisure time. The ADHD brain stays up because it spent every drop of dopamine it had on executive function during the day. Sitting in meetings, managing transitions, filtering impulses, remembering the thing you were supposed to remember. That burns through dopamine the way sprinting burns through glycogen. By 10pm the tank is empty.
But here's where it gets counterintuitive. The exhaustion is physical. The dopamine deficit is neurological. Those are two separate systems. Your muscles want sleep. Your prefrontal cortex is starving for the stimulation it was denied all day because it spent 14 hours on task-switching and impulse control instead of anything that actually felt rewarding.
The phone at midnight is the brain trying to collect what it's owed. Low-effort, high-stimulation content. Scrolling, short videos, rabbit holes. The exact profile of activity that delivers dopamine without requiring the executive function you already depleted.
The sleep researchers call this a "self-regulation failure." It's closer to a debt collection. You borrowed against your own reward system to function all day. The bill comes due at midnight. And the brain will not let you sleep until it gets paid.
everyone in the replies so shocked & appalled by the fact that a 10 year old can be depressed is the issue btw. why yall have adopted this mindset that children & teens can’t feel emotions so deeply to the point where they can consume you idk. no matter the age they’re humans
When people say "everyone is a little ADHD" I always want to be like oh word? you also frequently lose the physical ability to start basic tasks and just sit in a paralyzing cycle of shame while your life falls apart? or did you just forget where you put your keys?
