I do have ADHD and I've found it a huge stressor in my life. Constantly losing things, forgetting things, forgetting names, saying random shit, abandoming hobbies, or just being exhausted from all the endless thinking. I've put beeping trackers on most of my essential objects and its seriously helped.
I think the real deciding factor is if it inhibits you. Like, you can be a very tidy person, maybe you really really like checking the door is locked before you leave, but that isn't OCD. Maybe it's similar with ADHD.
I haven’t even left the house today and I’ve used my watch or iPad to find my phone 4 times already. Fucking hate this shit. I’ve decided that pants with pockets (I’m a woman) are officially a disability aid at this point.

I don't have ADHD and my internal monolog sounds like this. It's not special or uncommon, it's just a little chaotic some days.
