I don't think I have ADHD but this is basically the summary of my life

[–] BlueRingedOctopus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Half the things people call "ADHD problems" is just perfectly normal human behaviour

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

yeahhhhhhh as a counselor with ADHD it is a major pet peeve of mine reading just about anything ADHD-related on social media

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

this isn't really a primary feature of ADHD. i guess one could argue it's a secondary effect

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

This is basigally the summary of my life and now I think Ido have ADHD

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

I'm in this pic and I hate it. I would have like 20 albums written if I would just sit down and turn the clever concept/title and couple of stanzas into an actual fucking song. Instead what I do is open GDrive and get paralyzed at the sight of the burgeoning directory structure and immediately log off, if I even get that far.

This is my second time bookmarking this meme.

…I can’t find the first.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 38 points 1 day ago (7 children)

My life hack for that is to just never close any tabs.

(Reboots)

Browser: There are 496 tabs in your previous session. Are you sure you want to restore?

Me: Did I stutter?

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

You: Did I stutter?

Browser: No but your computer/phone is about to.

[–] rirus@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Those are rookie numbers I have over thousands.

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Those 5GB of ram being permanently screaming at me wanting to be closed...

[–] TheFrogThatFlies@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

In Firefox search for restore_tabs_lazily in about:config.

[–] ExtantHuman@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Browsers have been sleeping inactive tabs for years now.

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Don't worry, they are all sleeping.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 3 points 1 day ago

I've just been working really hard on my self-control to get it below 500 lol.

I have 1192 tabs open in my mobile browser. I hope, I read all those articles in this lifetime.

Before, I was able to read so much. I finished Count of Montecristo in 10 days. Nowadays, I can't even read more than 3 pages a day.

[–] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 30 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Is this a AHDH thing? I thought everbody did this.

[–] Beldarofremulak@discuss.online 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You get more engagement if you attribute your memes subject to mental health.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 day ago (3 children)

That’s one way of looking at this if your mindset is negativity.

I prefer to exercise positive intent and I see this as possibly someone with ADHD not knowing whether this particular trait is their ADHD or just a thing.

I have ADHD and I am often like this, it makes you question your identity, especially if diagnosed later in life like me.

Sure many ADHD traits are occasionally experience by non-neurodivergent people, but that doesn’t mean they don’t affect ADHD people in a debilitating way.

It’s like heart palpations can be a sign of a heart attack or a panic attack.

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Exactly.

Sure many ADHD traits are occasionally experience by non-neurodivergent people,

They key is "occasionally" - for someone with ADHD these traits are pretty much constant, never go away. Medication and practice may reduce their impact, and you may find ways to mitigate/compensate, but the underlying trait is always there, waiting for you to become complacent.

A neurotypical person rarely understands how much effort is put in just for something mundane.

[–] sfled@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wait, are you saying that reconciling my checking account while two unrelated trains of thought (accompanied by a random song) run through my head is not something that everyone deals with?^\s^

[–] Zink@programming.dev 2 points 21 hours ago

I was just posting about this in the last day or two, but my ADHD brain also likes to keep music or a conversation going in my head. And I always sought out talk to listen to, like podcasts. But I have found that the right sort of music is a great tool to help occupy the ADHD brain and let my conscious executive functions like, do stuff.

I do not have ADHD.

I do not do this.

I keep everything open as live tabs.

I've seen a trend in the last couple weeks where normal behaviors keep getting attributed to ADHD for no reason in these memes

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Probably about 50% of the recipe pages that I have bookmarked aren't even online any more.

[–] Senseless@feddit.org 11 points 1 day ago

Could you stop calling me out pls?

[–] M137@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I've got 19,347 links saved in my current Read Later app. How often do I actually open it to get back to something? At most once a month for one thing, usually less.

I'd recommend you to start cleaning it up, I used to let these lists grow until one day I decided to clean them up, sadly a lot of the links got expired or the companies running those websites got shut down 😞

@PugJesus

I don't have ADHD but this is 100 % me 😁

Sometimes I'm even relieved when my browser crashes and all open tabs are lost 💀

[–] LaoisheFu@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

I feel this and I'm not adhdt(to my knowledge)

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Anyone else keep those screenshots they accidentally take of their home screen because they know they'll drunkenly accidentally delete an icon on their home screen and have no idea what icon is missing because they never use it but they e grown accustomed to it and want it back the way it was?

Just me?

[–] nagaram@startrek.website 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I rearrange my icons all the time thinking "no this will be more efficient" and I just never really know where everything is.

Warn me before you come for me...lol.

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

I hope I put the right tags or keywords in the thing that I save cause that's the only way I'm ever finding it again

[–] PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have 5 google drives at 100% capacity with the images I save.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I pay for google 1 storage so I can keep my meme archive going. Idk what I'll do when I run out

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 22 hours ago

Oh man I think about this a lot. I have some thoughts.

  1. The more complicated of a system, the less likely you are to use it.
  2. Complicated systems are self defeating.
  3. A system you use is always better than a perfect system you don't.

I try to make notes about where my previous notes are when I make new ones so I don't lose them.

I try to keep one or two physical ways to jot things down. I use a boogie board and a pocket journal. I use a disposable flimsy one. The temporary look of it helps me not treat it as some perfect log book that needs a perfect system. Avoid any and all "bullet journaling" tips lol. That's a road to complexity. My system is:

  1. If I need to remember something, I write it down.
  2. If I don't need to remember it anymore, I cross it out. If a page has nothing I need to remember and no real room for new still, I rip it out.

For digital notes I use Google Keep on my phone and an Obsidian Workplace in a synced folder for Google Drive. I DO NOT stress about making perfectly organized Obsidian documents that link to each other. I just write what I need as I need it. My Obsidian stuff is a little more organized but I sort of haven't used it in a while.

All forms of this is your way of communicating with your future self and how your future self will look for messages from you. Viewing it like this helps make it clear what sort of things you need to keep track of and also sort of sounds cool so it makes it exciting.

[–] psion1369@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Pinterest. My boards are full of diy project ideas and recipes that I will never look at again, but I keep clicking and saving.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

If and when you get around to looking at it, you’ll love everything you see. A mood hack I discovered is to look at saved posts in a random order, because I forget about everything, so it’s like a perfectly curated feed.

[–] sfled@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

Only a decade? Noob.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I’ve hit the limit on safari tabs on my phone multiple times. When you open something in a new tab at that point, it just cannibalizes a tab you haven’t visited recently, but you can use the back button to find out what it was.

Wait… I just realized… Is this Pedro Pascal?! All this time I didn’t recognize him in this meme!

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 5 points 1 day ago

And loose that ebaumsworld video!?

I think of them as little treasure troves.

[–] PotatoLibre@feddit.it 4 points 1 day ago

I'm guilty and I sent thia meme in my endless collection
