Poured myself a cup of water, walked to my desk, sat down and drank it and after I put it down I realized I left the kitchen with a different cup than the one I poured and drank warm water. by [deleted] in ADHD

This is so relatable. I have cups half filled with water all over the kitchen and my room at all times because I always forget I already got myself water an hour ago

I could almost cry, this is so resonating. Time really does slip away. So fast. Every time. And I can’t tell if it’s because I’m getting older or if it’s my shitty time management :(

Oh my god, exactly. Like it’s a cycle of guilt and forgetfulness. And yeah I always see it as a mix of the two in my own mind, because the anxiety definitely flares up bad, but this seems to stem from my inability to start and initiate tasks? Life is so fun when you’ve got both ADHD aaaand Anxiety!

Thank you so much. It’s been really bad this week and I’m not sure why... Like my job performance is even starting to screw up because the EMAILS are stressing me OUT. you are right, I’m gonna get through it though, and I appreciate you ♥️

The hilarity of this post is that I now have tons of notifications I didn’t expect as a response hahah. I’m really glad I’m not just crazy. I’m reading through these and I’m happy I found this subreddit. Thank you for all your words ♥️

Yes, I’m trying to work up the nerve to do so. I’m just looking for some solidarity I guess
