Please tell me I’m not the only one who finds showering everyday really hard because it does make me feel like a disgusting person, but I also find it so so hard! Exercising has actually really helped because I always feel like I need to wash after getting sweaty, and during the heatwave I was showering more because again, I felt sweaty! But in general, I’ve always found showering every day really difficult. Does anyone else feel the same?

I have to lie to myself about the time I will be late.

I actually also hate being early for stuff, but I’ll take being early over late every single time 😅

Does this resonate with anyone else?

PS just because you do this too, doesn’t necessarily mean you have ADHD (it can just be the kind of person you are!) and equally if you know you have ADHD and you don’t do this that’s fine too! I’m just sharing my experience at someone with late-diagnosed ADHD and we are all different💖

I thought everyone sat in a towel for hours after getting out of the shower but apparently not… 😅

Can anyone else relate to this?

I never thought I had a problem with alcohol, but looking back, I definitely did. 💖

I never realised the connection between ADHD and having a really bad justice sensitivity until recently, but I have been like this ever since I can remember. It definitely made me not very likeable sometimes as I’d always be first to tell on someone.
As I got older, I learned to mask this and hold my tongue a lot.

Do you have justice sensitivity as well? Did you realise this can be part of ADHD, or did you think this was just the way you are? (Like I did for a very long time!)

Anyone else either text back straight away or not for days? 😅

I laugh about it, but I know I have genuinely lost friendships because I couldn’t text back and then realised it had been so long that I felt embarrassed to reach back out.

Do you also do this? 💖

PSA There’s probably washing in your machine that needs hanging up 😅

Anyone have any suggestions for how to remember to hang up your wet washing? Because the pop up notification on the TV, the ridiculously long song (if you have a washing machine you know the one!), and the putting dirty clothes straight into the machine bypassing a laundry basket don’t seem to be working for me 😂

Anyone else ever pretended to brush their teeth or is it just me? 🤦‍♀️😅

Let me know if you have any tips for this, because I still struggle with it every day.
