Ive definitely had spacey days where I will literally lose myself staring at nothing for 15 minutes. That's rare though. Most of the time removing distractions, setting a routine, and ensuring I am on task when meds kick in help a bunch. The last one especially. With meds I HAVE to actually be doing the thing I'm supposed to with little opportunity for distraction when they kick in or I will fuck around.

This meme and many others do not match my experience with ADHD. I'm sure it does for some.

Hot take? I think a lot of people with ADHD (me included) use it as an excuse to not try. It's typically not impossible to overcome but it does make it more difficult. I say this having more often than not failing to over come my adhd.

People with ADHD are often impulsive and self destructive and memes like this, to me, are an expression of that self destructive part.

Tbf to the meme though if you are deep in a spiral of self destructive procrastinating for months and that's lead to issues at work, home etc then it's easy to hit burnout and be depressed.

But at the end of the day you have to use methods like removing distractions, taking notes and making checklists or whatever works for you so you don't fall down those ADHD doomspirals. At least I don't know any other way to stop it lol

Adult diagnosed forty years person here. Basically this is my experience, can add to these excellent tips to provide yourself with a lagom, level headed amount of stimuli, you research what is correct for you, it may be jungle rain, iron works sounds, sped up techno with echo, but don't be a problem and make it excessive or extravagant just use it for its purpose and don't make it your identity to be eccentric, just find the frequencies that tune fork vibes your brain activates from and use it.
