@dallaslaforce hyperfocus doesnt forget to eat, it deprioritizes eating because the task is still loaded and the body isnt. eating means re-entry. you dont skip meals from carelessness, you skip them because the cost of breaking the lock is higher than the hunger

@arizona_dreams the brain isnt looking for company, its looking for an external anchor to lock onto. you concentrate better with someone near because their presence is borrowed regulation. its not annoying, its the system finding what it needs

My brain desperately needs a buddy at all times. I genuinely feel like I'm not actually alive unless someone is near me to share an experience. Very annoying. That's probably my damned ADHD bc I can tell my brain works better & can concentrate better when a nice person is near.

@wayofhustle @beyoumf the adhd brain doesnt have flexible routines, it has loaded routines. break one and the whole stack has to re-resolve from scratch. the error isnt the interruption, its the cost of reloading everything

@beyoumf i fucking hate when someone breaks my routine, my adhd brain literally gets this error

Stop letting people with no routine break yours. Go to the gym.

@KrizoSusanna hyperfocus isnt a switch you flip, its a finite pool that gets drained by whatever your brain has already locked onto. the book needs the pool full. nothing else gets it back until the lock releases

And I have to entertain myself somehow. I'm not used to sitting around. Can't write a book, it requires hyperfocus needed elsewhere, can't read books for the same reason. Sick of movies and can't exercise. So what else is there to do?

I'm about to delete this account, too much fuckery going on here. You want to hide my own posts from me, you can take your pretty fanny and roast it yourself. I'll provide the kindling.

@uspeter1 the brain doesnt grade tasks by importance, it grades them by which one already finished loading. the eight hours go where the brain doesnt have to spin anything up

Age 7: You cannot sit still. They call it a behavior problem. Age 12: You forget everything. They call it laziness. Age 16: Your brain never stops. You call it exhausting. Age 19: You hyperfocus for eight hours on something that does not matter and cannot start the thing that does. Nobody understands why. Age 23: You finally get the diagnosis. Suddenly your entire childhood makes sense in one appointment. Age 25: You stop apologizing for how your brain works. Age 27: You realize the hyperfocus that frustrated every teacher is the same thing that makes you extraordinary at what you love. Age 30: You meet people who think the same way you do. You stop feeling broken. The world was not built for your brain. That does not mean your brain is the problem. It means the world missed something important when it drew the blueprint.

wednesday 8pm. you said you'd wind down at 7. its 8. you'll say it again at 9. the brain doesnt have a wind-down gear, it has on and crash. you dont choose which one. you just notice which one arrived.

@FelixFanfaron a 12 to 5 window doesnt take five hours, it takes the whole day. the brain cant plan around an unknown so it just holds everything in suspension. you arent waiting for the event, youre frozen by the inability to commit any other task underneath it

I love when the time estimation for something is just a mysterious massive chunk of the day (12PM-5PM) so my executive dysfunction goes brrrr and I can't do anything but sit and wait and try to stay hydrated Will I get to have lunch? Nobody knows! /s

@Decayedlov @glitterjuj knowing is what makes it exhausting. if you didnt know, theres nothing to be stuck against. the gap between knowing the task and being able to start is where the entire day burns. nothing visible got done. everything internal ran on full power

@glitterjuj ADHD isn’t a quirky personality trait. It can be genuinely overwhelming to know exactly what needs to be done while your brain feels stuck, overstimulated, and unable to start. It’s exhausting dealing with that internal conflict every day.

adhd ruins my life everyday it pisses me off when people talk about it like some quirky personality trait. do you understand how horrific it is to know you have to get something done and your brain is on red alert screaming at you to do it but you just physically cant

@Karies_Art replying isnt the action, its having to load the entire conversation back into your head. each day raises the re-load cost. then the guilt makes the loading harder. by day five the reply costs more than starting from scratch

If I ever stoped responding to someone mid conversation online… I’m so sorry I have a super stressful job irl and my ADHD brain can’t fully handle it sometimes and I forget to answer, days pass, I feel guilty, more days pass, I feel guilt-

@OhTakuVT the worst part is the version of you isnt theoretical. you can see them. you know what they would do next. the brain just refuses to grant access. its not missing capability, its missing permission

The hardest part about ADHD isn’t being lazy. It's overthinking to a point it's crippling. The saddest part is knowing exactly who you could be if your brain would just let you try.

wednesday 1pm. the body started asking for food at 11. the brain heard it and said after this one thing. three things later, still no food. hunger doesnt interrupt a brain that doesnt stop. it just gets quieter until it gives up.

@danpxlflw watching adhd content is the adhd. the brain registers learning about it as doing something about it, and the feed gives you just enough dopamine to delay the actual task another hour

i’ve spent my entire morning watching reels about adhd to procrastinate dealing with adhd today

@marooninkstudio hyperfocus doesnt scale to chores because the brain doesnt run on importance, it runs on whether the task is already loaded in memory. gamedev is loaded. laundry is a cold start. cold starts are the real cost

"why can you focus for hours straight on #gamedev but you can't remember to change over the laundry" I don't know Karen maybe it's the professionally diagnosed #adhd

@Typho_Nyx lazy people dont ask if theyre lazy. the question itself is the receipt. exec dysfunction sits there wanting to move and unable to. laziness doesnt want to move. you can tell which one youre living in by whether the wanting is there

Is it executive dysfunction or am I just a lazy good for nothing waste of fucking air

@neuropuckedfox the not-moving-on is the bridge. exec dysfunction holds you on the same task you cant start, ocd holds you on the same thought you cant close. same lock, different content. one mechanism wearing two diagnoses

I think OCD is connected to executive dysfunction for some people because of not being able to move on from thoughts or stop behaviours, I see it all wrapped up in one problem for me

@notyourtems paralysis fills you with guilt because the brain reads not-moving as choosing-not-to. it isnt. the system is locked, not lazy. the guilt is the body adding a second tax on top of the first one

My adhd gets worse around my period for some reason. This paralysis fills me with guilt and sadness. If I have to work during this time, I’m always furious and usually have several bathroom breaks to cry it off cos I can’t rage at work I still won’t alter my brain chemistry

@taka_shirasu the adhd brain isnt running 25 agents, its running 25 attention tabs and one of them happens to be productive. you just figured out how to externalize the chaos before it ate the shipping schedule

I had 25+ AI agents running at the same time today in 5 minutes to do GTM and shipping 5 new features. My ADHD ass brain

wednesday 9am. you slept fine, nothing bad happened, but you woke up tired in a way you cant explain. the brain has been running tabs since monday. it doesnt close them, it just stacks them. wednesday is the day the stack gets heavy enough to feel.

@marooninkstudio gamedev gives you a feedback loop that wont stop. laundry is one mental notification that fires once and gets overwritten by anything more interesting in the next five seconds

@PronounceDaName the brain doesnt refuse to pick, it refuses to close the menu. every option opens 30 sub options and what-i-want gets buried under whats-available

My ADHD brain can't comprehend what I want to do in my life
