I'm curious... Are these not things virtually everyone struggles with to some degree? There are no end to time management books and people who wish they would spend less time on their phones/playing video games/etc.
- hunterb123 4y agoNo when you have ADHD it's really really hard to get started on a new task, but you do obsess over a task once you get started on it. You'll do everything you can to avoid it first though, until the stress of the deadline overweighs the dread to start.
- Skgqie1 4y agoI always find that portion of ADHD somewhat amusing. Getting fixated on a task and unable to context switch is a big thing, which I think is surprising for many people.
- resonious 4y agoThis is also something that has crossed my mind. In the early days of my diagnosis, it was a challenge to explain that I even had a problem. People would (rightfully) say "isn't that basically everyone?" and I would have to struggle to say "yeah but mine's worse. I'm diagnosed." It was a real drag at the time but nowadays I'm thinking maybe they were right.
- TeMPOraL 4y agoVirtually everyone struggles with it to some degree, some of the time. ADHD people struggle with this to a high degree, all of the time, to the point it interferes with their ability to function, and causes no end of anguish. It's like accidentally giving yourself a small burn when pulling things out of an oven, vs. having a 2nd degree burns on half of your body. Technically the same thing, but scale matters.
