Yeah, I fucking wish I was only 30.
Is there anything you wish you did when you were 30?
Buy bitcoin.
Dude, I knew so early about it, people were just giving them away. I thought it was a scam, still do but I could have been the beneficiary of the scam instead of just a passive observer.
I’d be one ugly 30 year old if I were 30
40
it’s not a bidding lol
50 I’m not going higher
oh you are
Looks at the state of the world.
You sure about that?
you’re gonna keep living, it’s just gonna be less fun
Not if it’s not more fun than a 12ga slug. Not even meaning this in a depression way, I’ll keep working for and looking towards a better future. But when shit really hits the fan I’m not going to be starving to death in a ditch because of environmental collapse or becoming an actual slave to a facist regime. The way I see it, there’s worse things than a quick death.
Price is Right rules?
My former doctor: “Ya. You probably have ADHD but you’re fine. You’ve learned to cope with it.”
Me: Drinking half a bottle of Jim Beam every night to “cope”.
Side note: nice seeing you around again Stamets. The meme quality was suffering in your absence.
Heard that before. “Learned to cope” does not mean “Is coping healthily” you asshats.
And thanks buddy <3
Narrator: they were not fine

Me too. Son’s dyslexic and I’m noticing a lot of ADHD traits in him. And it all reminds me a lot of how I was and it just explains a lot of the things in my life. Just got to get around to finding a therapist for him and me…
I’m going through all the stuff with all of my kids. I just started the diagnosis process last week for myself. I just thought all of this was normal and getting old.
Erm, embarrassingly older.
Nah, I think this is a no embarrassment zone. Get cozy.
The best part is being 53 and still totally believing it every single day. I’m going to absolutely crush tomorrow!!!
Haha. High five (10 times and then high three). 1971 babies unite! (…tomorrow).
I’m gonna do my meditation via the monroe institute tapes… starting… uhhh… in five minutes
I think this every single day when my alarm wakes me for Gym.
So, uh, serious question. Is it not like this for everyone?
Apparently some people can just…get stuff done somehow?
You are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
Apparently not. I am just learning this myself. Go see a doctor (assuming you are in a location that doesn’t treat healthcare like it’s pay to win).
That’s the thing about ADHD memes, they tend to resonate with a lot of people who are apparently not ADHD.
I’m not an expert and others here will explain this better than me.
If this behaviour is an indicator of ADHD, then the severity could be arranged along a spectrum. Someone with ADHD is more likely to exhibit the behaviour in an excessive and harmful way.
Nope, most people can’t imagine struggling to motivate yourself
It’s not even a question of motivation. Every ADHD person I know is highly motivated. It’s the ability to act on that motivation that’s impaired.
Like when you set some important object down in a random spot and genuinely believe you’ll remember where it is when you need it again, in spite of this never working ever.
edit: for reference, seconds after posting this I looked to the left and noticed the lovely piece of pie I brought in here with my tea about a half hour ago. I’ve almost finished my tea.
If I had a nickel for every time I’ve gone looking in a closet for something to work on project #7 and found the missing piece to project #4 I put right there to remember…I would promptly lose the change jar for a year or so
Bought an insulated mug for my tea this year, game changer.
yep, but ADHD is not a disability. Right? Everyone is sometimes unorganized or slacks around for a day…
/s just to be extra sure.
✨✨ It’s a super power! ✨✨
<sound of loading shotgun>
Shit
Mid-40s like most everyone else here apparently
I work a job where I deal with a lot of deadlines. I’ve never missed one, but my priority schedule works on a FAFO basis. We FA until it comes to being almost time to FO, and we really don’t want to FO.
So then I tear ass through my tasks until I’ve done two weeks worth of work in an afternoon lol
Just keep forcing every task through your adrenal glands, I’m sure that’s a useful long term strategy
… he says as he does the exact same thing
That’s how I pack for trips. My wife thinks lists are the way to go. I keep telling her if she just waits until the last minute I’ll do it all myself in record time. Probably get everything, too.
I just pack my wallet and cross fingers on whatever else I forgot haha
Well, all but one or two important things. But that’s why God invented Walmart
I brush my teeth, take a bath, take a shit, trim my beard, wear clothes all while my wife still choosing what to wear.
She says it everytime - What!? you even fucking shaved in this time!!
I used to do tasks out of spite. I hated myself so I forced myself to do things to spite myself. So if you’re looking for a change in unhealthy coping stratagies then theres that.
There’s a part I need to install in my car. The box has been sitting right next to the front door for two weeks…I’ll knock it out over the weekend I promise
(Narrator: He will in fact most likely watch hockey and drink beer on the couch)
This feels personal because I’m literally in the exact situation. Lmao
Me too, except I think it’s been about a year now and the box slid off the back of my desk.
Then you get medicated and you realise that even when you do things shit still takes time to do.
Yeah. Adderall gives me the drive, but not the motivation. Video games still usually win over chores.
Yeah the spreadsheet audit I was supposed to have done by January 1st has not gotten much more interesting
lol 30. Hitting 41 and still don’t get it. But 42 will show me the meaning of life and everything.
Incorrect. I just hit 43, and there’s no meaning of life, the universe, or anything.
The cake is a lie.
Though I do get the joke, the meaning of life is what you make of it. If you expect it to reveal itself to you at one point, you’ll be disappointed.
The meaning of life is what you make of it, if you are able. Pretty big caveat.
Just found out I’m autistic. Pretty sure I’m ADHD too…
Welcome to the jungle baby!
Do you provide fun and/or games?
