If you pair undiagnosed ADHD with unsupported autism, you get “I can’t start this project yet bc the deadline’s far away but when I finally start it I’m frozen bc I need to plan things out to actually do them.”

I don't forget about it... I sit there feeling guilty about it until the urgency let's me start it....

This is why cruel methods don't work on us. "There will be punishment" OK, I've already accepted it.

For me it’s NOT out of sight or mind though. No matter the due date, I’ll be paralyzed by abject panic for days, weeks, or months thinking about what I have to get done but can’t 🙂↕️

My mom used to get so mad that I would procrastinate on a school project and still get an A. “You’re never gonna learn” she’d say. 34 and no I have not learned lol

The way I've explained it, I don't have a work ethic. But I have a well-developed sense of responsibility, which functions equivalently. 😂

And when coupled with depression, you can forget about interest, passion, challenge or novelty... only urgency keeps us alive and moving !

everyday I wake up early for work but I still can't make it out of bed until I realize I'm going be late. Urgency paired with constant fatigue is a hell of a combo.

I was successful in school until I had to study outside of homework and class. once homework became a multi day affair and studying became necessary being unable to set routines held me back

It’s crazy how small applicatoons of this knowledge change everything. Being told “I bet you can’t complete X task in the next 5 min,” my brain registers it as a ploy while also going, “Yeah, I can!”

My “out of site out of mind” is so strong I forget people exist till I’m reminded. My sister and I set reminders to speak every other day or we will accidentally go a month without talking.

Hello Kirsten :
Thank you! People are always like “give yourself a little treat after doing the task” and I try to explain that adds zero desire to doing it.

My classmates were amazed that I wrote 7k words of my dissertation draft in a few days, but they don’t know about the twitch in my eye that lasted for 2wks and the absolute exhaustion that came after

At the end of the day though, you kinda just have to make the decision to do what needs to be done, regardless of motivation. Not saying it’s easy, but it’s life
