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.
This plus hypoglycemia 🙃 and that I rarely feel hungry before I’m starving… Thankfully I have my kids who tell me they’re hungry so I make myself eat them.
If you’re eating hungry children you’re just going to get hungry again in like an hour, you gotta find the well fed ones
On my lol 😂
I was medicated and mostly asleep. I’m leaving my typo. Love your response. Very true. LoL
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 due to the distractive nature of hyperfocus.

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
violation of rule 1:
You’re not allowed to point that out though. Which is why I just downvote most posts I see in this community instead.
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.
Nibble on some crackers and wait a bit. Works for me most of the time.
