So... Do you guys have ADHD? I mean, for real?
Because, uh...that is totally what it does.
Gives you a terrible memory, bad procrastination, concentrating on things that are boring/hard is tons of effort, problems with instant gratification vs. delayed rewards, motivation and maintaining things... Sometimes better at multitasking, especially when there's a physical element - like people who pace to think - but can also have problems getting too absorbed in stuff, to the point where the outside world is just not there... cannot measure or keep track of time very well...
(I know internet diagnosis isn't something you should do, but...)
Anyway, what kind of show is this?

I don't have ADHD, I have ADD, which is the same thing minus the hyperactivity.
Also, it's a podcast in the style of community radio about a small town in the desert where all of the conspiracy theories you've ever heard (and some you haven't) are actually true.

Gosh that sounds like all of us though xD
because it certainly sounds like me
I've never personally been diagnosed so who knows I could have it
I know my husband has ADD and we are mighty similar
Haha I keep seeing that thing on Tumblr
because I guess people in the OFF fandom like it
but I had to get to bed last night and I'll be camping for the next few days
In fact making this post while I should be packing >_>

well, I can't speak for anyone else, but it's different than ADHD. It's not a lack of focus, it's something else. A lack of motivation, I guess. But it's certainly not like...a thing, a disorder or whatever. It's not really extreme enough.

I know, that's the only reason I ever heard of the thing -- my tumblr suddenly exploded into cecil/carlos fanart and I was like "wtf is this"

Yeah I can focus well in classes while Jake can't
to where he needed medication
I just get easily depressed I think
and usually that will dampen my day
I won't do anything or I'll give up doing something

I almost didn't put in the 'H', but the official name is ADHD now, and I'm used to saying it - but I'm not a hyper person either.
ADHD isn't all lack of focus either, and it's really, really insidious. That's why I brought it up.
Or another way:
I have to go now - family outing - and I'll be back later.

Have fun Tea! Hopefully you'll see this heh.
Yeah, what I'm talking about isn't ADHD, and I think in explaining it I'm making it sound worse than it is. Even if it sounds the same, in actuality it's not. I'd have to try to find my notebook, or the powerpoints on motivation to really explain it. I really doubt I've got ADHD, and even if I were diagnosed with it, it's so overly diagnosed because it isn't something you can physically test for, and it's easy to seem like you have it, so I doubt I'd believe the diagnosis.
