    the problems sound similar to “what everyone has” but they arent the same

    Yes everyone struggles motivating themselves to do chores but it’s not the same when you have adhd.

    Yes everyone has trouble concentrating during a boring lecture/lesson but its not the same when you have adhd.

    Yes everyone has the urge to buy stuff they don’t need, but its not the same when you have adhd.

        It’s those but so bad it’s a disability. Like how just because most people don’t hear something from time to time doesn’t mean they’re all hard of hearing

        not necessarily more, but more intense. Like it’s borderline physically painful sometimes to force myself to do something. It feels like I’m being very cruel to myself for no good reason, its just a dishwasher after all

        yeah there are only two reasons why someone doesn’t do something and it’s because they can’t or the don’t wanna. If they want to do something but don’t it’s because they can’t and some pedestrian advice like “Just think how much nicer it will feel after you’re done” is not gonna help.
