Saw this on an ADHD Memes account on X. Shit happens more than I would like to admit. lol

If I cook my own food sometimes I have no appetite for it.
That’s the worst. “Once it’s ready I’ll smell it and be instantly hungry.” It almost never actually happens the way I plan.
I’m hungry but I can’t eat because I haven’t bought food or done the dishes.
I could go and buy food, but that requires multiple steps of organisation and going outside and yeah, like I could do that, but I don’t wanna put on pants and find my keys. Also even if I do all the many, many things required to go outside and buy the food, I still have to wash the dishes to be able to cook/prep it.
I think I’m just going to deal with heing hungry for a bit. It’s less effort.
Never realized this is related to ADHD, just thought my digestive system is stupid or something
It’s not. People just post anything vaguely relatable to this sub
violation of rule 1:
It’s also confidently incorrect misinformation, which makes it worse.
🤓
what an insightful comment that adds to the conversation
You’re not allowed to point that out though. Which is why I just downvote most posts I see in this community instead.
You don’t understand ADHD.
Oof. The fremdschämen is off the charts with this one. 😬
It’s due to the distractive nature of hyperfocus.

I usually not really forget to eat but instead to drink :|
If I don’t have a bottle of water next to me, I won’t drink water. If I do have a bottle of water next to me, I’ll get distracted by it constantly and drink so much that I’m going to the bathroom every 5 minutes
I can one up this:
I can place it in front my my eyes and I’ll look around it. Once I get headaches I might respond to the call of H2O.
Same! That was like the first “WTF?” thoughts I had (while also lulz-ing). Had to share somewhere that would know the feeling. I have large doses of Impostor Syndrome in basically all parts of my day to day life. But one of the weirder ones is that I might not be actually ADHD and the meds that have been a game changer will be taken away (especially as the pushes to make getting them harder arise). But then I read/watch stuff about ADHD that are waaaaaay to deep a cut into my life to have that “oh shit, well I most certainly have ADHD for real then.” lol. Just so so many parts of my personality and youth just make sense.
The one symptom of ADHD I apparently don’t have. Keep forgetting I’ve already eaten…
Thats kind of the same interoception problem but flipped to the other end
Yeah… for me it wasn’t a thing until I started Vyvanse. Now I keep forgetting to eat all day, until it wears off and I binge eat like an idiot later at night.
That was my behavior prior to taking meds, although I don’t take that one.
Unfortunately that kind of forgetting tends to be forgetting if I took my meds before work. Since I fall pray to always being late, and coffee in addition to the “fuck fuck fuck not again!!” rushing around makes it hard to know if my meds are kicking in or if the former making me feel awake.
Nauseated.
Nibble on some crackers and wait a bit. Works for me most of the time.
Damn I just spoon peanut butter into my mouth lol
i just do a tiny bite of anything. super tiny, maybe with a sip of water. but, i concentrate really hard on the fact that i ate something. usually works ok
Being 100% honest with you. I basically do that. Just enough to take the edge off. Sometimes just need to have something super basic and bland as hell.
Reminds me of an episode of Digimon where Joe (I think) says something like “I don’t like eating on an empty stomach.” But I think that was supposed to be an obviously bad excuse for not eating something he didn’t want to try rather than serious statement, but I was never certain…
have you tried having extremely food-motivated autism to the point that your day is ruined if you don’t get the right food? as a bonus you get motivation to work out because mmmm more space for yummy food in my tumtum omnomnomnomnomnom
Piss poor interoception, let’s goooo!
I’m lucky with that side of my ADHD, I’m always hungry so I never forget to eat
Same, which is why I’m a fat fuck.

I don’t have ADHD but this describes nearly every morning for me as a kidney transplant patient.
THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING IN MY BRAIN! I JUST GOT HERE!
I can’t relate because I am a binge eater, at least my meds help with that haha
Yeah like nothing stops me from eating. Nothing. Ever. Hideous gastro, vomiting, diarrhoea, mouth surgery, nothing has ever ever dampened my appetite.
I saw this meme while being sick to my bed, nauseous, unable to eat anything.
Wow, is this a Disenchantment meme?
Did Disenchantment get better after the first season, because that first season was rough.
Yes it got better. Not by an incredible amount, it’s no Futurama, but definitely better now.
I only have one quarrel with it and that’s that the 5th season was rushed, imo it’s quite excellent otherwise
