I was so proud of myself a couple years ago. I did my taxes in late January, shortly after getting the form from my employer, instead of waiting until April to do it. Then, shortly after that, they gave out another stimulus check (last one I believe). I barely didn’t qualify with the income I submitted with my tax paperwork, but would have qualified if I had waited until later to file my taxes because I made less in 2019. Now I’m back to procrastinating doing important tasks, because that step of locking in my choice “early” might come back to bite me somehow…
That turtle knows what’s up. And I should get a top hat.
Why get a top hat when you could just remind yourself that you’re a piece of shit because you haven’t got a top hat yet?
reading the second panel gave me flashbacks to this
Why don't you back it up with a source?

Yeah thanks for that brain

Quite often I see really relatable things in neurodivergent communities and go “surely that’s just something everyone does”, but now I’m starting to wonder at what point one ought look into things.
Don’t wonder to hard, many of the things discussed are common and not necessarily a disorder. And when they might be it’s often paired with the wrong disorder (this would be depression, not really ADHD for example). Take most of these meme and a humor communities with a giant grain of salt (or skepticism).
That’s patently incorrect. Executive dysfunction, a hallmark of ADHD, often results in something called “task paralysis” wherein you’re unable to begin a task, even though it weighs on your mind.
The advice that a person could be exhibiting this symptom because of a different cause (such as depression) is true, but people with ADHD experience this issue at a higher frequency than their more neurologically typical peers, and if it’s a problem being caused by ADHD, and not depression, it can lead to depression as a comorbidity.
