Can you have both?
Things I realized were ADHD:
Starting 12 hobbies. Finishing none.
Cleaning my room by emptying every drawer onto the floor.
Reading five books at once.
Studying only the chapters I find interesting.
Remembering obscure medical facts but forgetting my own math homework till the very last minute.
Having Olympic-level emotional reactions.
Things I KNOW are my ADD:
beautiful planners
color-coded notebooks
aesthetic containers
…but none of it lasts longer than 3 weeks.
Can laser-focus like a genius when the interest hits:
reading
graphic design
medical facts
makeup
gaming
niche hobbies
essays
writing
coding
skincare
YouTube Makeup Tutorials
But can’t focus at all on “boring” tasks like:
chores
homework
organization
emails
PLUS:
procrastinating to the skies
submitting last minute assignments finished in mere minutes assigned months ago…and getting the top grade. Every. Single. Time.
Everyone thinks I’m just lazy — but I’m actually just wired differently.
…Literally. Every. ADD+ADHD. Girl. Ever.
“Why are you like this?” — every adult ever.
If ADHD and ADD had a combined flag, I’d be waving it.
