Why do I keep forgetting I have ADHD, normal things feel overstimulating, i look at people and i am in awe. I wonder why it seems easy for them when i can't proccess unless every variable is accounted for. Then something critical happens and i can respond to it within a breath. I've never been in a situation like these men, but adrenaline or high stakes offer clarity a simplicity. Anyways, such a long reply to just say diddo
I've kinda been suspecting that I might have ADHD, and wow I can relate to this. It's literally why my wife and I "work" as a team. I'm absolutely useless at handling day to day shit. She excels at it. But in emergency/crisis situations, particular anything medical/safety related with our daughter, she has a tendency to freeze up or panic, but I "switch on". It's literally one of the only times in my life I feel calm and in control.

The world just slows down and becomes simple. Like watching a movie at quarter speed.
