when you’re watching a movie and u recognize one of the actors in it from somewhere but u haven’t watched any of the movies or shows listed on their imdb
Does anyone else with anxiety get that thing where you just want everything to be quiet and when it’s not, you just get really agitated, and people’s voices just start driving you insane?
me: *texting my mom that i love her and that i hope she has a great day*
some middle aged artist across the street: *sees that i’m on my phone and creates a whole art piece about how cell phones are sucking the souls out of people and are the root of all evil*
I can drink 3 cups of coffee and go straight to sleep, this is just one example of what is fundamentaly wrong with me as a person
That’s a possible sign of ADHD, my dudes. :P
One of the prevailing theories explaining ADHD is that it’s caused by a lack of certain neurotransmitters, specifically norepinephrine and serotonin. Everybody has a background level of these neurotransmitters, and when they see or do something novel or interesting, those neurotransmitters increase, and then decrease back down to normal levels. Because people with ADHD have less of these than they should, they are constantly looking for something new and interesting to give them that jolt back to normal levels. That’s why they’re so easily distracted and why they hyperfocus on things that interest them.
Stimulant drugs, like caffeine, cause your brain to make more of those neurotransmitters. So while neurotypical people might get a buzz off caffeine, people with ADHD just get bumped up closer to normal levels, and so, if anything, feel calmer. That’s why they prescribe what are basically amphetamines as treatment for ADHD and why ADHD meds are so bad for people who don’t have ADHD.
WHAT

Uh yeah it’s also why a lot of people who aren’t diagnosed with ADHD drink so much caffeine, energy drinks, or smoke.
Also you may be ADHD if everyone around you is like “hey cocaine is crazy” and you do it and you just feel calm and normal while everyone else is vibrating through the floors
