Same reason, too.
some times it scares me how closely people on the internet’s experiences reflect my own. Everyone can’t be having such a bad time… right?

A place for those that got both Autism and ADHD, those confirmed as one and are suspecting they got the other as well, and also everyone who is neither and just genuinely curious.
Since the combo comes with its own set of challenges, this shall be a place to ask for advice, vent, infodump about special interests and/or just vibe and meme.
Please be respectful. General niceness guidelines apply - formal rules will be added later if necessary.
In regards to medication and medical advice: Please take under consideration that this is only an online support community. Offered advice is always an expression of individual opinions or experiences and shall never be taken as substitute for a professional in-person assessment!
This is a SFW community. Sensitive topics are allowed, but must be properly labeled.

Have you thought about declaring email bankruptcy? Then, stick to inbox zero. See https://fullfocus.co/email-bankruptcy/
You know it’s time for email bankruptcy when:
- You have more than five hundred unread email messages in your inbox.
About that...
Point 6: Don’t worry about your unread messages. If a message is important, someone will ask you about it. If it wasn’t, you won’t.
I've done this plenty of times. Get back from holiday and I just mark everything as read. If something was important they'll email again. I've told people and they thought I was crazy but it's never not worked.
Ain't no way a 2 week old unanswered email is still relevant today.
Right, if something is that important then you'll give me a call to follow up. Or at least another email. With the amount of spam these days, you can't hold an unreturned email against someone, there's just too much trash getting in the way
Everyone is having a bad time, in different ways. It's easy to notice things you personally relate to, and equally easy to overlook the many, many things that don't resonate with you.

Oh god, this describes me to a tee… 🫤
That was me in the middle of my depression. Still is sometimes on bad days.
Yours goes away?
And plots
Comes back with a vengeance
Medication and therapy helped a lot.
I feel the same about some of the work I need to do for my job... Start a job, can't complete it for X reason, leave it pending, never want to work on it ever again...
This post just raised my anxiety so high I might not ever reply to a text again.
I hate when I glance at it, resolve to take care of it later, and then the mere act of doing so marks the matter as resolved in my brain and it's just gone forever.
