relatable as fuck. And don't forget (lol pun intended I guess) the crushing shame and guilt from doing none of the above.

[u/Historical_Cook_1664]

occasionally i try to crastinate like a pro: get some random shit done i won't need for at least two months, just for shits and giggles. instead of, you know, the important stuff.

[u/ctrlqirl]

You guys sleep?

[u/FailedReaction → u/ctrlqirl]

Crash and lose consciousness, does that count?

[u/_Mulberry__]

They guy in the middle has the right idea, but somehow he never wins...

[u/ExtremeGift → u/_Mulberry__]

Best I can do is just sleep ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[u/_Mulberry__ → u/ExtremeGift]

Better than me 😭

[u/FailedReaction]

All three approaches are valid, A) charge to the right stimulation level to be capable of doing the job B) do the job but acknowledge that it's beyond current capacity so go straight to recovery or C) use anticipatory reward to start and then follow through afterwards. The hard thing is being able to know which one to choose as it's bloody catastrophic is I pick the wrong one 🤣

[u/ThePresidentOfStraya → u/FailedReaction]

Ah, yes "Charge to the right stimulation level to be capable of doing the job"; I too tell this sweet little lie.

[u/ginger_minge]

It's times like these that I'll take an anxious nap

[u/FutureZombie6746]

what about game then sleep and anxiety tomorrow after seeing work not done

[u/JackNotOLantern]

First game then game

[u/B0bYang]

Oh, dude, this is the time you gotta say some line that puts you back in your eyeball driver seat and set off for one task, talk out loud to sort it out, and run through it so you can sit down with more time afterwards lmao

God speed fellow ADHDers!

[u/Chill_Panda]

But you don't do any of them because you're too busy finger pointing your guns at each idea and you instead just lay in bed screaming internally that you aren't doing anything....
