Iām a girl in my late 20s, I was sort of diagnosed when I was a teenager, but where I live they didnāt use to take it seriously back in the day, so I was just branded as ālazyā. My whole life I have had people telling me how smart Iām and what a great potential I have and how I could achieve so much if I wasnāt so lazy all the time. Now I donāt know if itās lazy or ADHD, but I am gonna list some stuff here and I want your advice.
I constantly have to alternate between different tasks, because I get bored and overwhelmed when doing just one thing. I can get things done, but I have to multitask a lot.
I procrastinate all the time, I even procrastinate brushing my teeth to until before I leave home... I always think I can do something great if I just start on time and then I procrastinate until the last minute and I botch it.
I have great ideas and I spend days thinking them through and then when itās finally time to do them Iām bored with them and I ditch them.
Iām messy, house is a mess, drawers are a mess, wardrobe is a chaos. I constantly loose things. I get spurts of energy when I do it all at once ( clean or organize) and then I never keep up with it after and it becomes a mess again.
Canāt fallow directions, hate assembly manuals or any other manuals. I never read them in my life, I just figure it out on my own.
Have a hard time watching a movie without pausing and doing something for a while. Lately I donāt even return to it, unless itās super interesting.
I get angry super easily. I didnāt use to be like that, but as I get older I feel like my emotions are taking the best of me and I use immense willpower to hide them.
I binge eat, or I eat only one kind of food for a while until I get bored with it, then I donāt want it anymore and I have to throw all the ingredients away or they just rot in the fridge.
Relationships are only nice when itās new and interesting and that usually lasts 11-12 months for me. After that I get bored and I want to break up.
I usually forget letters or even whole words when I write on paper. I always have to double check when I input information online because I usually mess it up. Canāt rely on myself for anything serious.
My head is a mess. I feel like I keep 50 tabs open at the same time in my mind and each one screams for attention. I get overwhelmed just being in my head.
TL;DR: Listing problems I have a hard time dealing with. Basically bored with everything.
