I know this has to be a common thing or at least I assume it to be but whenever I hear people talk about ADHD they describe the procrastination but also mention that usually their anxiety/fear of missing a due date pushes them to do it last minute and I just don’t feel this. I never feel that anxiety about missing and assignment and I don’t get that extra motivation to do it so it usually doesn’t get done. Then when it doesn’t get done I say oh no and move on, doesn’t cross my mind until I look at my grades and wonder how this could have possibly happened.

Idk where I’m going with this but it is a behavioral pattern I noticed about myself and don’t like. I think it originated from gradeschool because I was able to get by without doing any homework so I trained myself to not care about those but thats mainly speculation.

Anyone know how to idk mitigate this? I can’t be the only one

      Kind of like a therapist who helps someone not fall behind, for some of the things you mentioned. And they should understand ADHD or their specific field well enough to be able to get through or whatever. Idk obviously everyone is different. Good luck.

        Ah cool, thanks. I’ll have to look for that, I could really use that I think. Like I feel like if someone else could do all my paperwork and remind me of appointments for like a few months I could get back to normal.
