what’s a common adhd tendency that you don’t relate to?
inspired by a few threads i’ve seen here!
mine is i need to eat a full meals. i can’t relate surviving off of scraps. i always see posts on this subreddit with everyone talking about their adhd meals and i always see people mention eating a slice of of bread and a handful of popcorn for dinner or having like 2 tablespoons peanut butter for lunch and i can’t relate.
my adhd does make me forget to eat at times but the rest of my body will remind me i haven’t eaten for a while. and when i eat i want a full meal. i want roasted brussels sprouts and curry or like a chickpea salad sandwich with chips. even when i go the snack plate route i go all out and get like pickled eggs, cornichons, honey goat cheese, rosemary crackers. and when i don’t have the energy i always keep a some sort of trader joe’s or amy’s frozen meal or soup in my freezer/pantry or i have some sort of frozen leftovers! i get so depressed when i can’t have an actual meal, like ive genuinely cried about it before.
i actually keep a checklist in my notes app of about 20–30 of my favorite meals and sides and at the beginning of week i go to it and uncheck last weeks and then check this weeks. i also take a picture of almost every meal i eat, keep it in a photo album on my phone called meals on and scroll through it when i need inspiration. it’s like my own little pinterest except i know it’s possible for me to make it in a reasonable amount of time and i already know i like it!
but what are some common adhd tendencies or traits that you find you personally can’t relate to?
