Neurotypicals: "Just break big tasks into smaller steps!"
ADHDer: breaks task into 108 micro-steps, gets overwhelmed by the long list, abandons task, start to research road building in the Roman Empire for 6 hours.

#ADHD is standing in a messy room thinking: I don't know where to start, so l'll avoid it harder, so I'll feel worse, so now I'm frozen, so now I'm angry, so now l'm scrolling and how is it midnight and why do I feel like a piece of shit?
One of the many treats of #ADHD I hate the most: ADHDers have no internal motivation and rely completely on external motivation: urgency, novelty, pressure, competition and the need to belong. Except novelty they require negative emotions: anxiety and fear for urgency and pressure, competition and need to belong require shame. Hyperfocus is not for oneself but caused by seek for novelty.
To have ADHD is to battle negativ emotions all the time by doing stuff for _others_ and not for oneself. >>
When an #ADHD person says „I forgot“ what we often mean is:
* I remembered 5 times but at the wrong time
* I fully planned to do it but I felt overwhelmed
* I shamed myself for not doing it that I did not do it
Idee für ne neue Serie - wie Höhle des Löwen aber umgekehrt. Ein Milliardär muss fünf für Mindestlohn arbeitenden Menschen erklären, warum er nicht enteignet wird.
Wir sind alle Petitionsmüde, ich weiß. Die Frauenklinik Lippstadt wurde von einem katholischen Träger übernommen und darf keine Schwangerschaftsabbrüche mehr durchführen. Der Chefarzt klagt dagegen und hat diese Petition gestartet.
