WE NEED THIS FOR THE INTROVERTS. YES

Shucks... I actually do this

But then you wake up and lie in bed for ages trying to get up the emotional energy to function like a human being and stop overthinking all your plans and even though I want to go I also just really don't want to do anything ever...

...I'm going to see people so let me do my nails the night before. I should pick out the outfit I'm going to wear and set it out. I'd better do a full scrub down of the house just in case they ask to come over after or want to use the bathroom, even though they've never done that before. But they might and I need to be prepared. Let me make sure I transfer everything to the right purse I'm going to be using. I should make sure I have lip balm in my purse. The good one. Oh and lotion. And mints. Let me double check and make sure....

" i need to reschedule. I'll call you soon to do that". Never call. Hope they forget about it

And I’ll still be late.

With ADHD, any plans are all-day plans. I legit did this today. I had plans this afternoon and literally all morning was wasted "preparing". My preparations always expand to fill the time until it's time to go. It's why I try to plan everything for early morning even though I'm a severe night owl. No matter what time my plans are, I'll get nothing done until the plans are over.

I have to work backwards for plans always. It works well if your trying to find a reason not to do a certain thing. If you go back far enough, there's an excuse.

and then you don't fall asleep until eight in the morning and all your plans are out the window.

Oh no! I forgot to leave time to walk the dog

I think it is quite normal to plan ahead. It's not anxiety. It's intelligent.

I don't feel attacked so much as I feel not alone.

then just repeat that mental conversation 15 more times

A little Overthunk I think.

and let's not forget: I need to spend all day debating whether i should just cancel

this is me

SAME!

😂😂 that’s why I don’t schedule anything until 2:00 or later in the day

I'm in this picture and I don't like it

Yep, that’s me.

It’s backwards planning, and we regularly do it in the military.

It's not anxiety, it's superior planning skills!

i do this every single time, i have therapy today, guess what im doing right now, planning what im going to do till then so i can be on time...

This just made a lightbulb go off in my head that anxiety makes me punctual to a fault! I actually do plan something like that! I never made the connection between anxiety and this thought process!

I thought this was normal?!

I forgot to breathe.

This is a common sign of ADHD/ADD.. lol

YES!!!!

Don't forget to leave extra time for the hundreds of little "chores" you'll be doing while getting ready ✌🏻

I feel seen

Yup!👍🏻

Nobody cares if you have anxiety issues, they just act like the do!

Holy moly! So accurate

Oh. Look, it's me.

Let’s don't meet, we can send texts

Yeah but 15 minutes of existential dread and anxiety for absolutely no reason

I wish I wasn't speaking from firsthand experience when I said this is 100% accurate. Also I was irrationally angry all the time and kept snarling at people over nothing.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT WHEN I SAW IT YESSS

I don't want people to know it's my Bday

What on earth is "serotonin"??

You know what, that sounds pretty healthy of him, you go random dude

for me it;s more like "why? I'm a piece of s**t that deserves the abuse!"

RECOVERING from trauma makes you stronger, not the trauma itself.

can relate

I hate that you're right too

Reminding yourself that homicide is a felony

Yeah, I've had quite enough of character development myself.

Plot twist: Crisis Counselor is just the name of the person coming in to congratulate you on your AMAZING test score.

Bit sad innit.

And not all of us want or like to hear voices on a phone. Even without hearing issues, I prefer text messages.
