With this site I feel it's like.. aren't these problems everyone suffers from? Or am I just projecting my potential fear of having a condition πŸ˜…

As has been said previously to this question: most people likely have issues like this from time to time, what makes it problematic is having them almost constantly and to such a degree that it's crippling.

Everyone coughs from time to time, but if you have a chronic cough that's so bad that you cough up blood every time, that's not normal and you need to see a doctor.

See mom, I told you I am fine!

Kinda. One post I like to quote is the one that says that everybody pees too, but if you do it 30 times in an hour you need a doctor. ADHD is relatable to everyone because everybody deals with our problems to some extent, just in much more manageable doses.

The thing that separates a disorder from a normal issue is the magnitude and/or frequency of occurrence. E.G. most people that currently have a uterus will get cramps on their period, but if they're actively in pain instead of just uncomfortable something is probably wrong

[–] Anamana@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah that kinda makes me worried about myself tho lol

Well if you have cramps that are painful go see a doctor. If you are talking about having ADHD, just go with the flow and enjoy the memes. If you can connect with them then do so. If after a while you feel like you relate too much you can look up more about the condition and get an assessment.

Nonetheless, just vibe and enjoy the memes.

That is a bad example because many women are actively in pain with cramps and have seen a doctor about it but have been told they're just unlucky.

...You can have doctors saying that youβ€˜re just lazy or itβ€˜s something totally different if you bring up ADHD. Itβ€˜s exactly why I used that analogy.

If everyone had this particular issue the world would be very different I think.

[–] Anamana@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

You're probably right

Just pondering on my own misery, cause I can relate is all. Wasn't trying to put OP down for feeling it. I'll try to be more careful with the wording next time thx

Oh, I didn't share this to say that I'm going to ban you. I just thought that this post would answer your question. I made a lot of comments today and I was too tired to bother with explaining things.

[–] Anamana@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

Ah aight haha, all good then

I figure I have ADHD or some flavour. Mentioned it to my family, my sister went "huh" and got diagnosed.
Im still waiting
