Normal People vs. ADHD People

When it goes from 2 dishes to 200 and then our brains completely shut down and we forget how to function. Hooray!

Nah ADHD people actually do see all those dishes because we take forever to actually do them so they pile up lmao.

I literally got the anxiety of the second sink when I saw the first sink.

As someone with adhd, I can confirm that I do indeed hear among us sound effects when I’m trying to do the dishes.

[King_Cheese]

As someone with severe adhd I have never seen somthing more true

[hyujinsmissinghair]

this is so accurate-
and then my mom goes downstairs to get tea and ends up cleaning the whole house 😭😭

[kotahope]

This is too real, I literally will not do the dishes till I HAVE to if I want to have food😂

[marqstheman]

Unless you have ADHD you won’t ever understand this! I laughed so hard because it’s so sadly relatable 😭.

[RangeMaster]

I do a couple mins of dishes at a time. Take a break or two and manage to finish them at least before bed.

[RN_TH_LYNX_THRIAN]

It's either that or you hyperfocus on it for hours and end up with the sink and cupboards looking better than the rest of the house and then thinking that you should clean the rest of the house but put it off until tomorrow and then that's what eventually leads to the ADHD paralysis

[thomasellison]

As somone with Austism, i find videos about different mental issues very intersting, because i see the sink and i think "man, that really pisses me off, i gotta clean that right the F now otherwise it will ruin my day". Lol loved the short!😂

I sometimes can pretend that I’m the first kind of person and then it gets done.

I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was an adult and was prescribed Vivanse. The first day I took it at breakfast I cleaned up my entire home office, then the inside if my car, mowed the lawn, organised the garage, skipped lunch, mowed the lawn, skipped dinner, tidied the rest of the house, then finally, at 4:00am, started on outstanding paperwork.

[ucsbgirlie]

No way. I love housework. It helps me procrastinate on work work.

[andresmendez]

To me, having to go through this every day is literal torture. I am not joking, it is that way for me.

[grumpycatfan]

What helps me is playing music and thinking about the dishes in the sink as a percent of the total dishes in the house

[StudMacher]

The “oh my god.” Is so accurate! I literally be having a nervous breakdown over nothing all the time man 😂😂😂

[broderickelliott]

It's so true. Lately I've been having some mild success in calmly reasoning to myself that task x is actually very small and that it will be miserable trying to avoid it. I've been very happy with this.

[DonnaQuijota]

I would have used a Picasso painting such as the Guernica or sth like that but definitely close enough 😅

[littlebuttercupz]

I probably have ADHD and this is relatable as hell.

[ChaosTyrant]

Listening to music while playing tetris in the dishwasher, does the trick for me.
