My frickin essay is taking forever. What a surprise.

Me: Needs to sleep
Brain: Lets keep refreshing notebook!
Me: SLEEEEEP
Brain: Opens facebook games
Me: Forces tech away
Brain: We are not sleeping.
Me: You need 4 hrs sleep to function idiot.
Me: *Is currently running on less than 2 hrs sleep.

_{I came here in hopes of learning what ADHD is because no one ever teaches me anything in this household, but I ended up relating to every single one of these problems perfectly.}

Me: taking math exam
Brain: Let's check notebook!
Me: G-dd-mn it brain, the teacher will fail us!
Brain: We'll fail anyway!
Me: Extreme self-control and does not check notebook.
Brain, after exam: NOTEBOOK TIME

Lucky. Anyone else plagued by this feeling that you know you can do better but it seems too hard. But like, every second you need to do something.

THAT WOULD BE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's horrible.

It's horrible.

yep!

Late night, I had to upload a file to convert it, and it took four hours. The entire time, my brains like: Can we get on Notebook? Can we can we?
It's like no, I need bandwidth!

I've become addicted to Notebook at this point

Do you guys know what Executive Dysfunction is?
I’m not sure if it’s something people with adhd usually have or something people with adhd usually have

Yeah.
Here's one I keep having:

Me: Let's read something
Brain: Ok
Me: What book?
Brain: Yes
Proceed to read the first few chapters of like 12 different books

I don't think so.

google it.

Okay so basically it’s kinda like extreme procrastination. Whether or not you want to do the task, you often have trouble starting said task and it majorly stresses you out. That’s why I’ll continuously refresh notebook instead of starting an essay. Like I’m just sitting there, pressing refresh internally panicking because this essay is due but for some reason I physically can’t start it. I want to but I can’t. And it’s not just with things you don’t want to do. I’ve been meaning to take a sip of my tea (my tea that’s really good) for like 10 minutes but instead I was scrolling through instagram

Ohh okay. Think that contributes to writer's block?

Probably

Me: time to study for this exam it's in five minutes starts to open chrome
Brain: refresh notebook
Me: no. Quizlet
Brain: aw come on
Me: refreshes notebook, sees nothing, looks for a new discussion to join

Am I the only one that, like, feels the hyperactivity in his joints?

Explain? Because I think my answer is no, but just to be sure I get what you're talking about

I just get, like, a weird feeling in my knees our my elbows whenever I'm feeling hyperactive. It's like hitting your funny bone, but without the pain and it gets you excited

Ooh then yeah I absolutely get that

Yeahhh

When I'm super tired and just on the couch doing homework my legs and body will get all restless. Like I can't stop moving around and if I'm bored enough it's almost physically painful to not move my legs.
