The worst days where I have so much to do but I can't focus feels like when I'm on the back foot in StarCraft but controlling all 3 races at the same time:

I can't build here!
You must place that in a power field!
alien chittering noises
Your forces are under attack!
We need more minerals!
Spawn more overlords!
Your warriors have engaged the enemy!
I'm in deep!
Evolution complete.
beep! Waaaawaawaa.
That's a negatory.
My life for Aiur!
Need something blown up?
You cannot warp at that location!
You must build that on creep!
Well butter my biscuit...
AUaaAgHhhhh!

The fact that I could just hear like 3/4ths of these just by reading them made me lol. XD

Straight up one of the biggest sources of my self loathing before I found out I had ADHD.

After that I got my meds, have learned some strategies, and my mental heath has massively improved.

NGL I think my ADHD diagnosis was one of the best things to happen in my life. I just wish it came early than at the age of 29.

Same here. Got my diagnosis in my thirties and went back to college, graduated college, got a great job, bought a house, and am enjoying life substantially more than all the years I thought I was just a fuckup.
I even place important phone calls on time sometimes!

I adapted the spoons explanation to DnD spell slots. Some days I get high level spell slots, some days I have a bunch of low level slots, and some days just casting cantrips is the best I can do.

And when we get high levels spells they trigger themselves often on the wrong targets

That's what we call "wild magic"

I initially read this as erectile dysfunction, and it's soooo much funnier when you read it that way.

I've been trying to talk to my doc about this for months, but everytime I'm there I just can't. The words don't come out of my mouth. And before I know it I'm back in the parking lot. It's pretty ironic, actually.

Gotta write it down, so you can read it off if you're feeling overwhelmed.
