    Well, you could pause until you know that you are ready to pay attention.

    Which means forgetting that you had it paused and maybe noticing 3 hours later.

      It stuns me that I was so unaware I had ADHD for so long when shit like that is so relatable.

          But if your finding yourself constantly relating to such things, then it might be a good indicator to look into things more or talk to a good therapist

            Absolutely. It’s just important to point out that the symptoms of adhd are things that everyone experiences. It becomes a disorder with frequency, being unable to control it, and it significantly negatively impacting your life.

            Not too different from OCD in that aspect.

            My wife and I (both adhd) have a running joke where when one of us asks the other if they need anything, we always respond with, “a new brain.”

        It’s relatable stuff like this that helped me realize I had ADHD. Now I just need to find some clever coping skills that don’t involve too many drugs.

      Get ready to unpause, but it has disconnected you due to inactivity. You shrug and go back to phone

      until you know that you are ready to pay attention.

      But that requires me to pay attention to my level of attention.
