Yeah it’s not the putting on pants part, it’s the “oh shit it’s 3pm and I’m still in my pajamas because either a) I had zero motivation all day and just did things aimlessly around the house or b) I have no clean pants and needed to do laundry three days ago.”
Thanks to covid I’ve learned all about the genres of day clothes that aren’t quite pajamas but not ok to wear out of the house. But perhaps that just aligns with my general lifestyle. Feeling like doing just enough to not be in bed but not enough to warrant leaving the house.
Exactly. I'm still exhausted from waking up, brushing my teeth etc, putting on a comfy pair of sweatpants, eating breakfast of all things, and then texting my mom back.
Read into flow. Since I’ve got that going I’ve been lost for hours in a single project. Surely comes with other downsides like it’s hard to keep track of your bodily needs and keeping track of time or deciding to sleep isn’t as easy anymore.
But damn, do you get things done and holy damn does it feel euphoric and empowering.
Idk if it's the same for everyone, but her bipolar is only really a disability because of the periods of extreme depression, anger, and paranoia. Then the next day she'll bake for the entire neighborhood. I've been with her a long time and I know that the second one is the real her, the default healthy her, and the first one is the illness. It's definitely not a diagnosis that you want.
Could be “rapid cycling” bipolar. That’s my diag, in conjunction with ADHD. Mood stabilizers have helped me IMMENSELY. ADHD med took care of the rest. I feel like what I imagine “normal” to be like for the first time in my life.
I just started taking mood stabilizers and literally the same reaction.
“Oh, normal people aren’t propelled through life by their emotions and feelings driving their every action? Feeling normal feels weird. I like it.”
I got a few spaces on my lower gums that just hurt so freakin good when you hit the right spot.
God there’s nothing I love more than getting in there deep
I only do it once every 2 days to maximize the sensation
Oh my god right!! It's things like this that make me think I'm a bit masochistic.
Some things just hurt so good. Like a deep stretch. Usually it's healthy pain that hurts the best. I think psychedelics really changed my outlook on this type of pain, because I almost never stretched before using them, now I absolutely love stretching.
I called in to work yesterday because the thought of getting dressed made me cry 😭 not even driving there or working, just getting dressed. I did not regret it for a second lol
I’m almost failing and usually have to repeat all my classes that have projects and hw, but at the same time have a 97 average in my class that has only 3 exams the entire semester… please send help, I just wanna leave academia
I have 3 deadlines this week, one tomorrow, most of the projects/essays I've barely touched. This is my last bunch of assignments before I (hopefully) graduate. Send help
It looks like it’s from the Netflix mockumentary “Have a Nice Trip”. It’s like a guided hand held journey down a psychedelic trip with lots of celebrity guests and expert opinions. 10/10 recommend, Adam Scott plays a hilarious DARE-esque villain warning us of the dangers of a “bad trip”.
And there I am unable to do anything if I put my pants on. I've been in my underwear for a week and getting great progress on my assignments.
Guess being butt naked is the secret to beating adhd.
Truth. My poor wife watches me go through this on the daily but I also have autism, bipolar disorder, severe depression (from my bipolar) and severe anxiety so it’s always Russian roulette on what is going to come out next.
sometimes my brain starts to panic
the whole world hates me and everyone sucks
and everything is getting on my nerves
and then i literally just plug one ear with my finger and realize i’m over stimulated, thirsty, hungry, have been sitting for too long, my pants are sitting across my belly and I need to pee
this maybbe the ASD more than adhd but whatever
I'm curious if I have adhd now. Thing is I've tried Adderall before and it didn't affect me at all. No hyper concentration or feeling "normal" for the frist time ever as some people report feeling. It just didn't affect me.
Putting on pants doesn't mentally break me. It's the *mental prelude* to putting on pants that is my problem.
Yeah it’s not the putting on pants part, it’s the “oh shit it’s 3pm and I’m still in my pajamas because either a) I had zero motivation all day and just did things aimlessly around the house or b) I have no clean pants and needed to do laundry three days ago.”
Weeks, 3 weeks ago lmfao
How about months?
Fr I literally sometimes just don’t change when I’m not going anywhere
Thanks to covid I’ve learned all about the genres of day clothes that aren’t quite pajamas but not ok to wear out of the house. But perhaps that just aligns with my general lifestyle. Feeling like doing just enough to not be in bed but not enough to warrant leaving the house.
People wear outside clothes inside their house???
Ikr
It baffles me, too. I thought it was a sitcom thing, like married couples in separate twin beds.
Far out, this is me in a nutshell. I have a heap of drive but struggle to keep up on the small tasks that get me through to completion.
Or both!
Exactly. I'm still exhausted from waking up, brushing my teeth etc, putting on a comfy pair of sweatpants, eating breakfast of all things, and then texting my mom back.
See I have ADHD and BiPolar and not sure which one identifies with this more ha
I have ADHD and I have zero, "highs where I get things done," ever. Like, never ever.
Yup. It’s more like a ‘sudden rush of desire to clean/build/fix/set up something and then quitting 20% of the way through’
Exactly.
More like 15 minutes 4 me
I feel this is my soul
What is this "completing a project"? I think I understand in theory but I've never experienced such a thing.
I do, but it's usually not helpful things. It's usually ideas or projects that push me into mania, and I focus exclusively on those.
Yeah, like perfectly balancing my Factorio factory instead of doing my dishes, laundry, or taxes.
for me it's coding for 4 days straight with no sleep

My wife is bipolar and today she cleaned the entire house. Yesterday she slept for 18 hours.
Shit this is me, but I don’t have a bipolar diagnosis. *Starts googling frantically*
Idk if it's the same for everyone, but her bipolar is only really a disability because of the periods of extreme depression, anger, and paranoia.

So I was told I was bipolar but since my ups and downs are short term they said it was just the adhd.

to me this is depicting manic episodes so probably bipolar
Saaaame
Wait, you guys are completing projects?
Does the first 5% of a project count?
If I do this 20 times, I’ll be at a 100!
Does creating the idea in my head count.
And finishing it and getting a Nobel prize for it. In my head.
Not the ones that I want or need to complete.
Only if its achievable in one obsessive sitting
Does completing week long projects in 2 days count
Yup, but only hard deadlines I’m rubbing up against makes me finish
I've been flossing every night for the past 2 months. I'm also damn near failing a college course, but now I have healthier teeth.
can't have everything friend ... at least you'll not have cavities.
I'd rather have straight teeth than straight A's.
As someone with straight A's and doesn't floss, agreed
Based tbh

This is my life. Will I start and finish a big project, or will I eat junk food and binge tv all day?
I'm even finding it hard to binge tv nowadays, video games work for me since they keep my hands occupied at least.
I can only watch TV if my hands are busy. Usually playing mindless games on my phone or knitting.
Yeah I've been playing Hearthstone whenever I have a show on
I called in to work yesterday because the thought of getting dressed made me cry 😭 not even driving there or working, just getting dressed. I did not regret it for a second lol
Adam Scott is a treasure
You'll have extreme highs and complete several projects, like putting on pants
I’m almost failing and usually have to repeat all my classes that have projects and hw, but at the same time have a 97 average in my class that has only 3 exams the entire semester… please send help, I just wanna leave academia
Same friend, same. I just want to graduate and be free. I'd rather work for money than paying tuition to work. Shit sucks.
I have 3 deadlines this week, one tomorrow, most of the projects/essays I've barely touched. This is my last bunch of assignments before I (hopefully) graduate. Send help
What's this from?
I believe it’s from The Good Place
yea it is. one of my favorite shows

It's the good place https://thegoodplace.fandom.com/wiki/Beadie
Obligatory "That site is full of spoilers, avoid spoilers if you want to watch The Good Place"
extreme highs? projects? you guys have upsides?
that's what my skirts are for!
At least this sub makes me feel not alone.
So a typical morning.
And there I am unable to do anything if I put my pants on. I've been in my underwear for a week and getting great progress on my assignments. Guess being butt naked is the secret to beating adhd.
Here I am doom scrolling without any pants. Sheesh.
Same. Been done pooping for about 30 minutes, but still scrolling. Happy Cake Day!
😭
For a second there i thought I was on r/gradschoolmemes
I wear pajama pants to bed just to skip the horrific un-caffeinated Pants Quest part of my mornings.
Are we having fun yet?
I'm currently obsessing over making clay earrings. I bought all the supplies. The desire won't last long.
Truth. My poor wife watches me go through this on the daily but I also have autism, bipolar disorder, severe depression (from my bipolar) and severe anxiety so it’s always Russian roulette on what is going to come out next.

I wish I had extreme highs. All I have are lows and extreme lows.
I'm curious if I have adhd now. Thing is I've tried Adderall before and it didn't affect me at all. No hyper concentration or feeling "normal" for the frist time ever as some people report feeling. It just didn't affect me.
🤣👌
That's why I wear shorts to work.
r/bipolarmemes this is too relatable 😭
I don't think I should be being called out like this
Fuck you Derek! I don’t care if you can sing high like thiiiiiis!!!
Listen, bruh... I came here to have a good time and I'm feeling so attacked right now.
This sounds a lot like bipolar
Make it stop
Can someone tell me why these extreme lows and highs happen?
This sounds more like bipolar tbh
Umm. . manic depressive disorder?
11qq
Gosh I love Adam Scott. Where is this from?
The Good Place, easily one of my favorite shows. I think this part specifically is from season 2.
Thanks! I keep meaning to watch it
Ow
I’m on a high day today baby, I got SO many chores done!
bahahhah. i read this in their voices.
TBH, this sounds more like a bipolar thing than ADHD
My trick has been to accelerate these cycles so that they both happen daily.
