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.

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

I was medicated and mostly asleep. I'm leaving my typo. Love your response. Very true. LoL

Can we not inject ads as gifs even when they are kinda relevant?

SILENCE, BRAND

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

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?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months 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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Well yeah but like, who isn't?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months 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

I usually not really forget to eat but instead to drink :|

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

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.

Nibble on some crackers and wait a bit. Works for me most of the time.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months 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.

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...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Same, which is why I'm a fat fuck.

I saw this meme while being sick to my bed, nauseous, unable to eat anything.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I can't relate because I am a binge eater, at least my meds help with that haha
