ADHD Behaviors you didnt know about, part 12

If you have ADHD you’ll often really dislike afternoon appointments, not because you can’t wait, but because you are unable to get anything important done until they happen. You feel **stuck** in waiting mode, where, no matter what you try to focus on, your mind keeps reminding you of the upcoming meeting, which often happens because you’re trying to overcompensate for past experiences where your forgetfulness exposed you as a late person to others.

ADHD behaviours are not exclusive to ADHD. If you think you might have it, please look to get officially diagnosed by a professional.

"Stuck in waiting mode" YES!! When I have something important coming up, I can't do ANYTHING until that thing happens.

And the icing on the cake, when it gets close to that time is when you also suddenly get the motivation to do task and chores you've been putting off.

"Got to leave in 20 minutes and _now_ I want to clear and organise that pile of stuff I've put off for months...."

I remember when I first learned about this, I almost cried. I never understood how people got things done so calmly during the day when they had an arvo appointment. It would stress me out.

[redbarron]

I read the comments and I am blown away at how similar my stories are and I had no idea this is ADHD

[nevertoolate]

I love these. I am basically self diagnosed and this is so confirming. Especially when i am in doubt and start to judge myself negatively. Something as benign as this is real. Thank you for making me a fully realized person.

[grayhatjen]

*jaw drop* Yep, did NOT know this. I'm literally choked up. Didn't know others were like this, too.

[wyndy]

Yes!!! Having an appointment disrupts my entire day! I feel too distracted about the appointment that I can’t get anything done. It’s the worst feeling.

[Forceprincess]

10 am appointments are perfect. I'm fully awake and ready, and I'm not wasting the whole day

[debrandw]

That is so correct. Early appointments keep me from sleeping also. I am afraid Ibwill miss the appointment.

[BlackFlagHeathen]

I’m actually usually extremely punctual for this very reason. I hate that feeling like I’m always waiting for that appointment, so I’ll show up too early and have to sit and wait at the doctor’s office or what ever until it’s actually time for my appointment.

[yvonneschlame]

Totally! That's why I rather place appointments early in the morning, even if I don't like getting up super early. But then it's over with and I can try to do something else,

[a.l.]

I set timers on my phone. One hour before and 1/2 before appointment. Allows me to relax and get things done.

[Danielathan]

I've struggled with this so much. If I have *anything* in the afternoon I cannot do anything until then.

[navibanfield]

This one is so real. I hate it so much. I cant get anything significant done when im waiting for an afternoon appointment. I also hate things that are planned months or years in advance. I dont even know what kind if person im going to be in a week let alone a year. If it isnt happening in the next week, it doesnt exist and will never happen. The week before birthdays and holidays are awful because if i dont constantly remind myself its happening, i will forget.

[Infrared]

Ouch, true. I often schedule early morning dentist appointments so it'll get me up and moving earlier. Then I regret it when the alarm goes off.

[fatimahali]

Lol every time I watch one of these shorts I just say to myself “ Oh my god he gets me!! “

[AtlanticMermaid]

These videos have really made me feel seen and heard. Thank you

[ChefOliveDevon]

Man i love when i wake up and have 7 hours to get ready for my meeting

[Solitude-]

I’m between the devil and the deep blue, if it’s a morning one I panic because of insomnia and likely oversleeping…and therefore get zero sleep…if it’s afternoon I’m like this.

[evildoer]

OMG This is me!!! I really had no idea that was adhd, just like you said, duh. Thank you. I really appreciate your videos❤
