People with anxiety will go out of their way to make sure you’re not uncomfortable or anxious about what’s going on

People with depression will joke & be silly & try to make you laugh

People with PTSD will respect your personal space & boundaries & ask before they invade your bubble

People with ADHD will not get impatient or snap at you if you talk to much/ramble/don’t get your point across quick enough

People with bipolar disorder will not judge you when your moods change & you “aren’t acting like yourself” one day

What I noticed about other people with mental illnesses is that they are the most understanding, empathetic, easy going, tolerant people. We know what it’s like to live & struggle with these issues every day & we always wanna make damn sure other people don’t have to go through it too if we can do anything to help it.

That’s literally my motto

If you’re one of those people who thinks executive dysfunction only happens for things we don’t like (school, cleaning,) then please consider the fact that I’ve been meaning to plug my phone in for 20 minutes and I’m now at 2% and still putting it off to write this post ¯_(ツ)_/¯

My anime/video game list consists of over 100 titles, easily, and yet I almost never get around to watching/playing any of them.

Executive dysfunction is not just for boring or unenjoyable things. It’s for everything. Even eating.

What is executive dysfunction? O.o

Put simply, it’s difficulty/inability with initiating tasks. The prefrontal cortex is responsible for executive functions, like decision-making and impulse control. People with ADHD and other neurological disorders that affect the prefrontal cortex often experience difficulty making decisions and performing tasks, as well as exercising self restraint. Part of why people with ADHD tend to procrastinate so badly is out of genuine inability to begin tasks, even if they’re very important.

It feels, for me at least, like I’m constantly waiting for something and I can’t start X task because I’m waiting. I never know what exactly I’m waiting for, but that doesn’t stop me from wasting hours and days not doing the things I need to do, even if I have a desire to do them.

Oh thank god, someone put it into words.

For me it’s also waiting for the “right” time to come to complete the task because for some reason my brain thinks doing the task at any other time is horribly, horribly wrong, weird, and out of order. The “right” time might come eventually, might not. It’s a lottery.

Dude this is the exact description of me and I had no idea that this was actually a thing 0_o can depression cause this too?
