Imagine having treated ADHD
I have literally done nothing else since seeing someone with ADHD show their daily habits and handwriting before and after Adderall.
It was like watching Limitless. IIRC, Adderall was even the drug that movie was based on.
Yeah, it’s literally like limitless. I remember the first time I was taking a test on it…I started mid semester, so it was just a week or two later
But then with it, I was guessing on problems I didn’t know, then a later question would imply the answer, and remember the question I wasn’t sure about and what I had answered, and I’d go back and fix it. I’d remember things I wouldn’t otherwise, and I’d learn just by taking the test - I’d reason out the answers and it’d just click for me
It’s like I spent all my life with no ram, and so my processor got faster to compensate. Then, suddenly I got this pill that not only gave me ram, but made every task instantly more rewarding. It’s like everything I know instantly leaps into place as I’m thinking, and barely remembered things nudge me towards spotting problems or solutions
On my best days, when I’m well rested and in a good headspace, it really is like limitless
I don’t have to.
Kill me.
I’m bored, can we go home?
This right here is exactly what would happen.
ooooo pretty colors…. Ok what’s next
For what? It’s a neat picture, and it would be a cool place to be for like half an hour, but then I’d want to do something, and there doesn’t look like much to do there.
Edit: because of the other comment, I thought this was c/ADHD. So the text reads a bit weird. Sorry.
Original: Firstly, sorry, I’m commenting as a person who doesn’t have ADHD (that I know of). But I always feel a certain way when people in general say, that there’s nothing to do. Now, I don’t know in which capacity ADHD affects you in creating or finding things to do. But I feel like, there could always be something to do.
Here are a few examples:
- make a wreath out of flowers
- practice your handstand
- guess cloud shapes
- take a plunge in the lake
- let flower petals float on the lake
- built one of those stone towers that hikers always do
Or honestly, hiking back sounds like a good idea. Half an hour is an acceptable amount of time to stay at the peak/ any resting spot.
Those are all things that could be fun for a few minutes, but without something more stimulating/engaging, I would start to feel agitated in this environment after a little while. I’m sure I could make something to do, but that would be unpleasant for me.
And yes, hiking would be fine, but the meme was about being in that location with untreated ADHD.
but then I’d want to do something, and there doesn’t look like much to do there.
That’s the point…
Also, 30 minutes is hella ambitious!
Oh ok. I thought it meant, “wouldn’t it be great.”
Yeah, that’s probably the purpose of the original version for the normies lol
That’s why I like skiing. There’s a view, and then something to do when you’re done taking it in.
Howl’s Moving Castle ❤️
With friends: awesome.
Alone: after 15 minutes maybe bored.
