Okay so basically it’s kinda like extreme procrastination. Whether or not you want to do the task, you often have trouble starting said task and it majorly stresses you out. That’s why I’ll continuously refresh notebook instead of starting an essay. Like I’m just sitting there, pressing refresh internally panicking because this essay is due but for some reason I physically can’t start it. I want to but I can’t. And it’s not just with things you don’t want to do. I’ve been meaning to take a sip of my tea (my tea that’s really good) for like 10 minutes but instead I was scrolling through instagram
Ohh okay. Think that contributes to writer's block?
Me: time to study for this exam it's in five minutes starts to open chrome
Brain: refresh notebook
Me: no. Quizlet
Brain: aw come on
Me: refreshes notebook, sees nothing, looks for a new discussion to join
Am I the only one that, like, feels the hyperactivity in his joints?
Explain? Because I think my answer is no, but just to be sure I get what you're talking about
I just get, like, a weird feeling in my knees our my elbows whenever I'm feeling hyperactive. It's like hitting your funny bone, but without the pain and it gets you excited
Ooh then yeah I absolutely get that
When I'm super tired and just on the couch doing homework my legs and body will get all restless. Like I can't stop moving around and if I'm bored enough it's almost physically painful to not move my legs.
It’s quite hard to sleep because I always find myself tapping my fingers against the wall or rolling around instead of actually, you know, sleeping
It takes me a solid hour to fall asleep, and that's when I'm actually tired.
or how about when you REALLY REALLY REALLY need to work on stufff but you can't stop figdeting and doing anything and everything BUT what you're supposed to???
What, like refreshing every two seconds even though you know everyone is asleep?
Yessssss but also trying to do work in class and Physically not being able to focus on your work, and being on here instead of working on the project that is supposed to be done on wendsday, and will not be and is due on Friday, and I have to present and I actually can't stop typing or bouncing my legs so hard I'm jittering…..
This is normal, I am stressed, and this is normal, i will be fine, so don't mind me…
I made the mistake of getting coffee with sugar this morning, and now I'm on a caffeine high and a sugar rush at the same time. Now I'm nearly bouncing off the walls and scaring my teachers. Also, I won an award for being in a "chromance" with my Chromebook. I'm getting nothing done either. We'll procrastinate together XD
EYUP!!!!!!!
*mentally is actually panicking cause I need to NOT procrastinate but I can't stop procrastinating…. I think I need help….)
We all do.
alsoI'm slightly scared that one of the kids in my class is gonna punch someone he's yelling at because he nearly did it to me once
(Offers you all the good luck in the world)
Okay does caffeine like not work for anyone else? I’ve heard that’s an adhd thing. Like all coffee does is make me shaky and then make me crash hard an hour later
I hate coffee. My stepfather made me drink a mug of it once, and then I spent a year (or was it two?) where I got really nauseas from the smell of coffee. And no. It doesn't do a thing.

I start to fall asleep and then for half an hour I'm awake and then for a few hours after that I really want to sleep but I cant
Coffee/caffeine doesn't affect me at all, like nothing happens. Caffeine is a stimulant tho, so that's why some ppl with ADHD feel calmer/more focused after a cup of tea or coffee. (Btw, I'm not diagnosed with ADHD, I've just kinda been stalking this thread hah. Everything you guys say here is sooooo relatable. )
I've read this and I think I might actually have ADD.
