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

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…

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.

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.

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.

You should try and work on yourself or get the help you need if you truly are. It’s not something that should be dismissed just because you hear it may be common among others

adhd makes you more prone to depression and anxiety. untreated adhd, depending on the severity, can straight up cause depression and anxiety

or in my case anxiety and then that bonus on “not able to do thing (anxiety edition)” makes me feel worthless and then depressed

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
