Seems like people don’t want to drown in sadness, they’re trying to express pain, connect, and maybe find relief instead of bottling it up alone. If anything you’re the one with the weird dismissive vibes.
People with ADHD struggle with tasks like cancelling subscriptions because ADHD affects executive function, which makes it harder to remember deadlines, manage time, and follow through on boring or repetitive admin tasks that don’t have immediate rewards. It’s not abstract eejit.
It’s tragic, medication and therapy work. I used to think the problem wasn’t my ADHD, but trying to function within societies expectations. Now I would maintain treatment, even if I didn’t need to “perform” for survival.
Your initial post didn’t suggest therapy and meds at all. It sounded way more condescending, as in “simply get your act together and start doing better”. Therapy takes time and some people have it way worse than others.
Yeah that’s how most people read it, all good though I don’t mind elaborating. Or apologizing if I hurt feelings. I just don’t really like the image and what it says to me.
Sadly there are a ton of these kinds of things here on Lemmy. Also seems like some people want to drown in their sadness and spread it.
