I find that it belongs here, as anxiety and ADHD can play right into each other.

ADHD will very typically lead to missed deadlines, for example: Already getting the 2nd demand note on something you had to file, apartment is a mess but the landlord comes over in a few hours to inspect something, work.

Now anxiety can trigger when there is nothing to be anxious about, that's what makes it pathological, but it does NOT get better when there really IS something to be anxious about.

And when anxiety peaks, ADHD can make it feel differently. Just like a regular task that becomes an unmanageable tangle of unordered steps and potential escalations and obstacles rather than a clear series of steps, ADHD can also make the perceived consequences of a missed deadline more chaotic and harder to process, reason and think yourself out of.

I agree that it's not a good answer to the question "What does it feel like to have ADHD?", but microblogging is all about simplifying and giving one example, from a layman perspective who will not be able to draw a clear line between the related ailments she has.

More specifically this post is about RSD (rejection sensitive dysphoria) which is highly linked to ADHD though they are different things.

ADHD just often causes RSD.

I'd agree, I live in the typical ADHD chaos but this meme doesn't feel relatable to me. I guess I'm lucky? Anyway, I'd totally say this is about anxiety, not ADHD.

Definitely anxiety but they certain can make the other work. Like peanut butter and chocolate for messing up your life.

was gonna say, have anxiety but not ADHD

Common comorbidity?

That’s about constantly fearing the reality-check moment that comes after your "evil mirror ADHD twin" residing in your mind who’s just too keen to take over the wheel of your life and fuck it up in the most twisted way unbeknown to you.

Yes, there’s the constant anxiety about this, but that anxiety is a direct consequence of having a "spicy mind".
