ADHD OBJECT PERMANENCE #adhd

This is followed immediately by forgetting you’re wearing the eyeliner because you can’t see your own face and being confused when you scratch your eye and get makeup on your fingers.

I've bought so many bottles of mustard because I've forgotten about the 5 other forgotten mustards hidden in the pantry... It's a problem 😂

Do one about becoming blind to the objects infront of your face. You know, where they just become an unnoticeable part of the background

[anjaashdown]

Absolutely! Out of sight, out of mind!

I think about my special few people a lot….

- I just don’t remember to tell them that I am…. Or message/call them to have a chat… normally because I am already in the middle of doing something when I think about them, and by the time I finish the thing I was already doing, I have forgotten again, and by the time I do remember that I had forgotten, it is normally like 2/3am and nobody wants me calling them for a chat at that point..!! 😂🤣

I still find it hard to comprehend that other people manage to remember things on the fly. I find remembering things exist when they're not in front of me to genuinely be really difficult.

My dad scolded me the other day for being bad at texting people back. And I was just like "I don't have a solution for this. People text me when I'm in the middle of something, I'll open it and read it but don't have time to text back... and then it's just out of sight out of mind"

He also denies that I am possibly ADHD and Autistic but criticizes me for pretty obvious traits 💀

This is me with food. I forget what I bought and then just order food despite having a fridge full of frozen food because I can't get up or cook it because I'm exhausted from doing nothing by then.

I would love to find someone who doesn't find my ADHD ridiculous and unbearable to live with (to be fair, I agree). My former partners just thought I was a lazy, stupid a-hole that wasn't trying. It's really hopeful and beautiful to see this loving relationship.

I just discovered these people today, and I felt so seen! So many things in my life are impacted by adhd, but I had no idea until I watched all these clips in a row. I was diagnosed last year—at 56. Imagine the train wreck my life has been! Thank you to this couple, both of whom are apparently named Babe. ❤❤❤

[Mal.-V...]

This is too real, I'm m glad someone is addressing the lesser known issues with living with ADHD

[jennyboda]

Fairies! Technically yes. Actually, we believe that you were able to get that all done so fast that we didn’t even see you and then we beat ourselves up for not being able to get anything done in the blink of an eye. 😅 You are all magical fairies to us.

[k.v.]

Wait, so we're basically just in a lifelong pickaboo game 😳

[LadyD]

I always feel so bad trying to explain this to my loved ones...thanks for letting me know I'm not alone!

[enyboko]

i also forget to be sad or mad so i basically don't have any grudges for anyone :')

[ashleysmith]

Same except I don't forget people, like if I get stuck scrolling things always get reminded of them even if it's just in a "oh I think they'd laugh at this video" or something

I just had this conversation with my mom last night when I was explaining that I use to hate housework because it felt like it took forever but when my mother in law showed me and helped me set up a system to keep house it got better. I told her I never really understood how to do it because she didnt show me it was just done. Shes like "did you think that a magical fairy came in and did it?" I was like ya because you made it look so easy but it wasn't

[cathysnider]

I didn’t know this was an ADHD thing.😭 I felt so guilty when my adult brother asked me to talk to his Sunday school class about how our children are always on our minds even when they are away and I said, “Honestly I don’t even notice… (*shocked and disappointed look on his face)… well, I am happy when they come back though.” Oohhh the guilt 😖 I wish I knew this back then. Wow.

[mcaissie]

So, that explains my problem with responding to emails!!! Days can go by. Then guilt sets in!

[randomnessness]

My mum would always be very upset/offended that I never "miss" her when she was back from long trips--also the fact that I can't lie to people and pretend I do. Kinda thought there was something wrong with me.
I only realised it was due to ADHD in my late 20s.
