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.

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.

My partner and I both have it so we judge hunger off of behaviour of the other at this point lmao.

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 sure you're not depressed?

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Aksamit@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Well yeah but like, who isn't?

[–] mjhelto@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Right? Pretty sure that's the human condition these days.

Never realized this is related to ADHD, just thought my digestive system is stupid or something

[–] Veraxus@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s due to the distractive nature of hyperfocus.

It's not. People just post anything vaguely relatable to this sub

It’s also confidently incorrect misinformation, which makes it worse.

Others here are neglecting to mention that it’s literally the top side effect of stimulant medications after elevated heart rate.

The one symptom of ADHD I apparently don't have. Keep forgetting I've already eaten...

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 5 points 2 years ago

Thats kind of the same interoception problem but flipped to the other end

[–] folkrav@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

Nauseated.

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@lemmy.today 12 points 2 years ago

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...

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 11 points 2 years ago

Piss poor interoception, let's goooo!

I don't have ADHD but this describes nearly every morning for me as a kidney transplant patient.

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm lucky with that side of my ADHD, I'm always hungry so I never forget to eat

Wow, is this a Disenchantment meme?

[–] Liz@midwest.social 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Did Disenchantment get better after the first season, because that first season was rough.
