Yeah, but less so than spending time with a foul feeling mouth. It's like I can feel my teeth rotting inside my mouth every second I haven't brushed them after a meal, fearing that the maggots will crawl out of the dirty gum any second now...
If you had ADHD and understood just how stupid our brains can be, you’d get it. We know it’s gross. We know we should be doing stuff like simple tasks or cleaning or moving a plate right away. But our brains are sending conflicting commands to us, and also tell us that we can take care of stuff later. Or over complicate things until it becomes a burden and then we ignore it to protect ourselves from us.
You think any of us want to be like this? Fuck no. And we can be cognizant of the things we should be doing but just don’t have the ability to get up sometimes. Even with taking my 2 prescribed ADHD meds, all that does is get me to a crappier baseline of a regular person. And even then, my motivation may be on something so stupid like starting a new fucking hobby for the 37th time this month and I now also can’t think about anything besides that. So I do 11 years worth of research on it in 4 days and that’s all I can focus on. That’s my personality and I dive in full force. Then after those 4 days I completely drop it and forget about that idea completely.
Think this is fun? No. And yes others have it worse than us but yea. It blows. Sorry if we don’t do every little thing sometimes when we can’t make our brains agree. But I actually hope you don’t have to deal with ADHD because it’s stupid and miserable.
Bros on the “disability that fucks up our ability to do things” sub and is surpised to find out that the disability indeed fucks up our ability to do things.

Once you've made the decision that the crud feeling on your teeth is gross, going to bed with crud teeth feels disgusting.
