I always feel guilty when I respond to texts in my head 😭 #shorts #adhd

[gymnsical]

then they think I’m mad at them, but really I’m just scared to reply bc it’s been 2 weeks 😭

Wattsapp blue tick causing arguements for us ADHD'ers since 2009 😂

I literally lost a friend over this, because they convinced themselves I didnt care about them. bizarre that over a decade of friendship hinges on responding to a meme within 48 hours... I cant help that my brain is anxiety fueled and overwhelmed

Sweetheart, I must say you are a beautiful and brilliant young woman. It is often difficult to find someone who relates to this incredibly debilitating disorder and bring awareness to how our brains really work. I am 41 yrs old and have been battling ADHD my whole life. In the 80s there were a lot of misdiagnoses and little information to go on regarding this disorder so I spent most of my life feeling guilty misunderstood and socially awkward.
Thank you for bringing so much awareness and education, I believe it is very important for people to have a correct understanding of ADHD so future generations with this disorder do not have to suffer with the stigma of thinking they are dumb, lazy, selfish, awkward, etc..
If I had learned to embrace it and work with it when I was your age, my life would look much different now.
Bless you 🙏 ♥️

That’s the reason I turned off “last seen” and “message read” notifications a long time ago. Then the lie at least sometimes flies.

[tyfrey_]

completely passed that stage where i accept losing relationships with people after not texting back for months

[kamirae]

This is my least favorite trait of mine lol
I start feeling so guilty & anxious that I end up just not replying at all
Surprisingly when I try to explain why I didn’t reply never goes too well lol

[Deerhunterjs]

Sometimes I wish I did this. I get a text, and when I see I have one I get such bad anxiety to respond that I can't function properly until I do.

[DrewJ]

I always make sure my messages are set to not send read receipts. I often don't respond timely because I'm not ready or know how to respond at the time.

[Dudeguymansir]

There are several people who I haven’t talked to in over a year because at this point it almost feels too late.

[ArtsyGamer]

* See it right away, write out text, get distracted, 1 or 2 days realize never sent it * Rinse and repeat 😂😢😅

[thevjoiners]

I leave texts until I know I can reply. Sometimes I leave them unread for weeks! 😬

[ciciciciciclala]

So we've spent 3 entire sessions in family therapy about how me not responding to texts is due to my adhd and not because I don't love my family

[Pinko_fox]

Me who doesn’t see their text for a month and then does this

[summerstevenshughes]

What kind of therapy or medication do they have for this?? Literally one of my BIGGEST adhd struggles and sources of guilt 😵‍💫

[sharonisalwaysfreezing]

I have avoided all my texts for 7 weeks now 😂

[MouthyMama]

So glad most of my people are also ADHD/AuDHD. Although it does get a lil wonky sometimes bc we all forget to remember stuff a lot 😂❤

[justme]

Or the times I really didn’t see it until hours or even days later. I know it sounds unbelievable to many people but I’m here to tell you it very much happens

[kleineanna]

This. And then promising myself to do better from now on.

[elsacurran]

The thing is, i thought i mesaged someone in my head but i actually messaged them and then they got really confused cause it was a random thought 😭
