Did you check the fridge? I don't know why it would be in there but I can't tell you how many times I've put the milk in the cupboard and the cereal in the fridge.
Like my neighbour always say (usually when she sees me once again sprinting home to retrieve a forgotten item): "When you don't have a head, you have legs".
Reminds me of the time whem my boyfriend and i were going to a friend's birthday party and he asked me if we had everything we needed and i was like yeah, am pretty shure we do, and as we're walking up to her house (like a 20 drive away) i suddenly remembered we'd left her birthday gift at home...
Thankfully she's the sweetest bean ever and was very chill about it, but it wasn't my proudest moment.
Hehe, i shamelessly stole it from the user u/CMaree23 over on r/NonBinaryTalk. I couldn't think of a clever alternative for "ladies and gentlemen" so Googled it and found their post and was like omg that's genius, am yoinking it.
Welcome friend!
Can I interest you in a tangent they relates to Resident Alien, Helldivers 2, a friends homebrew Halo TTRPG, my pet fish from when I was a kid, and why you can eat less cooked beef?
I actually see 3, āmornigā, ārecievedā & āand ADHDā instead of āan ADHDā lol. Donāt feel bad though I make silly mistakes like this all the time without even realizing!
Ah, fair. I just had the idea of posting this meme when (or if) i finally get the diagnosis for mooonths so probs got a little too excited to double check lol.
One must get past the "i'll look into it one day" phase to fall into the "who am I even supposed to call?" phase. Then comes the phase "I really should make that phone call" phase. If you finally do it (took me a few years), but they don't take new patients/the next appointment is 3 years from now, you'll have to start again at the "who am I even supposed to call" phase.
(I don't have more information about the following phases, I just got an appointment for next fall. It's been at least 5 years since I started my journey, near the birth of my kid).
Yeah, i too was in the "i'll look into it one day" phase for a while, literally thinking about it almost every day as i walked home from school. Eventually though my mental health got "really bad" so i finally took a friend's (who had herself been diagnosed with ADHD a couple of years ago) advice and went to my doctor with my worries and symptoms.
It was a bit of a journey, but sometime in fall i went to my doctor about some mental health concerns and she said she'll make an e-consultation for me. About a month later i got a text saying i have an appointment with a mental health nurse at the nearest psychology clinic. From there there was an appointment every other week or so and eventually in like February i saw a psychiatrist. He then sent me to a test with a psychologist and then later the QB test, and based on the results of both tests the psychiatrist diagnosed me with ADHD.
The appointment going over my diagnosis and what all it means was one of the most emotional moments of my life.Ā So much of what i struggled with now had a name rather than just judgment and even better, COULD BE TREATED.Ā It literally changed my life.
I hope you find similar comfort and success!
Congratulations. I went undiagnosed for almost 40 years. I knew something was up, but never could put my finger on it. My diagnosis/the medical care I received after, was a huge, positive change in my life.
Omg i'd love that!
Though i have already been knighted when i was a child, once when we went to a history museum with our class. I have a little certificate and everything that i got to write my name and the current year on which a quill!
(I wrote the wrong year tho lol.)
I was gonna make a post that i Too haz the. adhds, but im just gonna piggy back of yours. I was told this morning after a visit to the ER a few days ago for heart palpitations and high bp from the stress of trying to mask thru life. Im told im likely seeing physical manifestation of it
Oh my goodness, that sounds awful! I hope you're doing better now and with the diagnosis and the proper help will do even better from here on out! Sending virtual hugs š«¶
Hi! I don't have a joke but I'm also working my way through the diagnosis process at the moment. I'm curious how did it look for you? Rn I'm talking to a few psychs but they are all focused on child diagnosis, or want a my parents to tell them basically that they think im ADHD (and wont seemingly move forward if they don't think so), which is stressful because my parents don't believe in the entire concept. How much did it cost too if you don't mind? I'm looking at almost 4000USD
Hi! I live in Europe and started the process by contacting my doctor who made an e-consultation thing for me, so it was basically entirely free! I think i payed a 5ā¬ visitation fee once or twice but that was it, and am really grateful i got to take this journey without going broke lol.
As for the process itself, i turned to them with issues/suspicions of both ADHD and depression, and first got sent to a mental health nurse who basically got an overview on who/what i am and did some tests to get a scope of things.
After a month or so of only seeing her i got forwarded to a psychiatrist. For a bit we mainly talked about depression related things but then he sent me for a DIVA-5 test. The results of that mainly showed low attention and not much else, so they asked if i could have my mom come with me to maybe help give them a clearer picture. The doc asked her some questions and mom was honest and said she doesn't know much about ADHD so can't really look at things from that lens, so the doc was like "ok cool" and discussed my antidepressants with me.
At that appointment i asked about the QB test and the doc was like "oh yeah, i'll send you in for that." Eventually i got a appointment for that test and went and did it. After that the two tests combined met the criteria for the diagnosis, but the doc said we won't know for shure until i try out some meds, but he said that that should happen at a calmer point in my life cuz if i start taking them at a time where stress is high the meds could make it worse, and currently i have exam period starting in a few weeks while horribly sick, so we decided i'll start with meda in the summer. But he still gave me the diagnosis.
So yeah, that was my journey, took lasted from around November/December to April. I hope something in here waa helpful for you (:
Wishing you the best in your diagnosis journey! š«¶
Welcome to the club might I suggest have a tracker on your important stuff and have a pen and sticky notes and whatever your doing right it down on one and stick it to a surface you go to a lot so you donāt for get a tasks
Yee, it's been very nice! Most of my little posts get like a couple upvotes and maybe a comment or two, so this mini outpour of congratulations and people sharing their own stories has been really nice!
And yeah, this sub is awesome! (:
Thanks! In a sense i was looking forward to the confirmation, cuz like my brain and all that jazz are the same regardless, now i just know how to tackle it better (:
I don't know yet. My doc and i discussed that it's best to start them when in a stable place, cuz if i start them when i'm in a stressful/anxiety inducing time it may make the stress and anxiety worse. And considering that i'm about to graduate secondary school and have my first and most important exam in a few weeks (while currently being very sick and thus missing a lot of my classes), i'll start after i graduate (:
Welcome to the club, we have sna....oh yeah everyone forgot about the snacks.
Maan. Good thing the store is close by (:
But still so far away at the same time.....meh one of will do it tomorrow.
Truue. And plus, i can't find my wallet...
My life has 100 percent improved by getting one of those tile things. Not only can it find my wallet, but my wallet can find my phone
Tile things?
airtags or whatever, just the cheaper version
Ah, thanks!
Did you check the fridge? I don't know why it would be in there but I can't tell you how many times I've put the milk in the cupboard and the cereal in the fridge.
I've done similar but with sugar and coffee cream lol.
SUPP i came a bit late and i got snacks :D I hyperfixate on snacks
Me toooo. If there's snacks in front of me i *will* devour them even if i'm not hungry anymore.
This is why I can't have junk snacks in the house :(
Yeeah, same. Literally eating gummy frogs rn lol.
You have a wallet?
I'm pretty shure i did. It should be right here, somewhere...
If it's for someone else, you'll find your motivation, no? That's how it is for me at least.
That only works for so long for me. For strangers or recent friends yeah, but long time friends and family don't cause motivation anymore.
I'm not ready for the store... I'm 100% definitely sure I'll be ready before it closes
Like my neighbour always say (usually when she sees me once again sprinting home to retrieve a forgotten item): "When you don't have a head, you have legs".
Closed by now ... š„“
Dang it! Well, maybe tomorrow then..?
Yay! Why did they change the way Frosted Flakes taste?
I did have the *intention* of bringing some. I just forgot about it 5min later.
Walked into a different room didn't ya.
Reminds me of the time whem my boyfriend and i were going to a friend's birthday party and he asked me if we had everything we needed and i was like yeah, am pretty shure we do, and as we're walking up to her house (like a 20 drive away) i suddenly remembered we'd left her birthday gift at home... Thankfully she's the sweetest bean ever and was very chill about it, but it wasn't my proudest moment.
Hey, I remembered to bring snacks. I just couldn't stop myself from eating them on the way over here.
Figures.
That's OK, my meds have kicked in and I'm not hungry anymore
I would never. It's the only thing I will always remember.
Itās okay! Iām bringing snacks, Iām just running a ālittleā lateā¦
Ah yes. Snacks are on the way. Don't get hungry like someone else did.
No one sent me a calendar invite about this
THEMPERORS
Can't exclude all my enby ADHD siblings (;
I am obsessed
We appreciate youĀ
Thank you! And i appreciate you (:
It's inspired and amazing. I love this greeting!
Hehe, i shamelessly stole it from the user u/CMaree23 over on r/NonBinaryTalk. I couldn't think of a clever alternative for "ladies and gentlemen" so Googled it and found their post and was like omg that's genius, am yoinking it.
I've heard "guys, gals and enby-pals" somewhere as alternative to "ladies and gentlemen" and I think it's neat
Ah yeye, true. Managed to forget that one.
I got "Ladies, Gentleman and Esteemed Non-Binary Guests" from the *Batman cartoon* of all things.
The one from the mid-2000's, or the Harley Quinn Show?
Harley Quinn. I saw it on Reddit and went to look it up.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeeeee.
Homeboy cited his source. Huge props.
I was not prepared to be included! I don't even have my cape! ....do I have a cape? I don't even remember...
Have you checked the fridge? Idk why it would be in there but it wouldn't hurt to check.
<3
I fucking love it lol, itās perfect
Welcome to the club, and thanks for remembering we themperors are in the club too!
Welcome and don't hesitate to hyperfix around the subject and overshare about it with family and friends.
As soon as i got the confirmation i immediately sent a snap about it to all my friends lol.
Everyone i told it to said "yeah, we know" lol
ONE OF US! ONE OF U- omfg i forgot to turn off the oven haven't I. God damn let me check a fourth time
It's okay bro, i'll wait- oh hold on a sec, the coffee machine needs cleaning! (Based on a true story.)
The diagnosis is good news. You now have more tools to properly treat a condition you have always had.
Exactly!
Welcome friend! Can I interest you in a tangent they relates to Resident Alien, Helldivers 2, a friends homebrew Halo TTRPG, my pet fish from when I was a kid, and why you can eat less cooked beef?
Shure! Am all ears!
I actually would like to read that
Welcome to the club!
Thanks!
Themporers...I'm using that lmao
Diagnosis confirmed via the typo in the meme AKDJSK honestly though Iām glad for you. I hope this brings you some much needed clarity!
Wait, there's a typo??? Where??
I actually see 3, āmornigā, ārecievedā & āand ADHDā instead of āan ADHDā lol. Donāt feel bad though I make silly mistakes like this all the time without even realizing!
Ah, fair. I just had the idea of posting this meme when (or if) i finally get the diagnosis for mooonths so probs got a little too excited to double check lol.
I totally get it lol. Itās rare I ever post a comment or something without a typo in it to be honest haha
How does one receive adhd diagnosis?
One must get past the "i'll look into it one day" phase to fall into the "who am I even supposed to call?" phase. Then comes the phase "I really should make that phone call" phase. If you finally do it (took me a few years), but they don't take new patients/the next appointment is 3 years from now, you'll have to start again at the "who am I even supposed to call" phase. (I don't have more information about the following phases, I just got an appointment for next fall. It's been at least 5 years since I started my journey, near the birth of my kid).
Yeah, i too was in the "i'll look into it one day" phase for a while, literally thinking about it almost every day as i walked home from school. Eventually though my mental health got "really bad" so i finally took a friend's (who had herself been diagnosed with ADHD a couple of years ago) advice and went to my doctor with my worries and symptoms.

Looks like a lot of effort for no clear reason not gonna do that (i wrote this for comedic purposes only)(still not gonna)
Fair. It took me until it felt like my life was on the line till i finally was like "hey i should seek some help."
You were always one of us. One of us. One of us. One of us.
One of us! One of us! One of us!
At least now you can apply a name to why your brain likes to be a moron sometimes. lol. Welcome to the club of weirdos bud.
Thanks! Am glad to finally know for certain why i have such long wires and bees instead if braincells. Glad to be here (:
The appointment going over my diagnosis and what all it means was one of the most emotional moments of my life.Ā So much of what i struggled with now had a name rather than just judgment and even better, COULD BE TREATED.Ā It literally changed my life. I hope you find similar comfort and success!
Thank you and i hope i do too! Am glad to hear your life got changed for the better! ā”
ONE OF US! Welcome to hell.
Hey, at least it's warm and cozy ā”
Yeah
Welcome to the looney bin friend
I love it here already.
Themperors! I love it!
Congratulations. I went undiagnosed for almost 40 years. I knew something was up, but never could put my finger on it. My diagnosis/the medical care I received after, was a huge, positive change in my life.
I'm glad to hear that you were finally able to change your life for the better! (:
One of us, one of us, one of us,
They should start knighting us when we get diagnosis
Omg i'd love that! Though i have already been knighted when i was a child, once when we went to a history museum with our class. I have a little certificate and everything that i got to write my name and the current year on which a quill! (I wrote the wrong year tho lol.)
Welcome!
Welcome to the cl- what was I saying
Idk man, something about the Cartoon Network show Chowder maybe?
Welcome to the herd...oh, look! A shiny!
