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

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
🤣
SILENCE, BRAND
This is an ad, please delete it
yeah, but it’s funny tho
Can we not inject ads as gifs even when they are kinda relevant?
Well it is good to have little reminders lik… wait a sec there
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 FUCK ARE YOU DOING IN MY BRAIN! I JUST GOT HERE!
My hour lunch break at work is hell, never can make myself finish my food there’s just too much shit to do
I hate when I have to punch out for lunch (even if I am not eating) for more or less similar reasons. I try to bring a book to read literally any amount as I really need to read the books I have (getting to feel like my Steam library). But I find myself too engaged in my “fix things” (I work on peoples’ PCs) headspace/momentum. So I end up still just answering questions my co-workers that are customer facing are trying to deal with.
This is not something I expect from them or anyone under 96% of situations and try to not bother them when they are on lunch/break or on a day off. I even make sure that they know I give consent to hit me up and have even been able to help give the correct fix while drunk on vacation lol. I don’t think bad of them if they don’t do the same and even tell them to not be like me in that regard as I am just what I am. Only exception is if managers or higher try to bother me without some really really serious reasons (though they also tend to tell me to manually adjust my punches). I only donate my time/mind to people that are in the shit with me.
But I just feel more tense while on lunch and hate losing momentum or feeling “heavy” after eating. When I do eat it tends to be in small chunks over the course of the second half of my shift. So just spread out my paid 15min breaks. Just enough time to eat, but not enough time to lose whatever focus I have.
I’m lucky with that side of my ADHD, I’m always hungry so I never forget to eat
Nauseated.
Never realized this is related to ADHD, just thought my digestive system is stupid or something
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.
It’s due to the distractive nature of hyperfocus.

I usually not really forget to eat but instead to drink :|
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
I can one up this:
I can place it in front my my eyes and I’ll look around it. Once I get headaches I might respond to the call of H2O.
Others here are neglecting to mention that it’s literally the top side effect of stimulant medications after elevated heart rate.
Piss poor interoception, let’s goooo!
Nibble on some crackers and wait a bit. Works for me most of the time.
Being 100% honest with you. I basically do that. Just enough to take the edge off. Sometimes just need to have something super basic and bland as hell.
I saw this meme while being sick to my bed, nauseous, unable to eat anything.
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…
have you tried having extremely food-motivated autism to the point that your day is ruined if you don’t get the right food? as a bonus you get motivation to work out because mmmm more space for yummy food in my tumtum omnomnomnomnomnom
Oat milk my love
Sometimes, I swear this is only me, but it’s absolutely not only me.
I don’t have ADHD but this describes nearly every morning for me as a kidney transplant patient.
