Hello!
ive been looking into getting tested for ADHD, but I’m holding myself back because I don’t want it to not go anywhere. I just wanna describe some of the challenges i face daily and see if this would qualify me for something.
Ive always had issues with keeping track of what things I have/haven’t done. I own 2 cats with my partner and when I feed them, I almost daily forget to put something away and I find it on the counter like an hour later and go “oh yea!” this just seems odd to me because this is a daily routine, you would think I have everything down by now but I guess not.
Another example, I quite often know there’s a chore that I need to do, but I just feel stuck. I’ll keep telling myself “you need to do this thing it’s pretty important“ but I’ll stay glued to my TV or phone or whatever my brain is occupied on. Adding on to this I’ll feel like I can’t let myself do anything else unless I eventually get this productive thing done. Like, “okay if you do this chore you could play a game afterwards to reward yourself!” and that still doesn’t work. And then I end up procrastinating on it until it gets really bad then I HAVE to do it. I dunno.
Im sure there’s other things I do that I don’t remember but yeah. Please let me know if this is anything you ADHD folk deal with too!
