Lemme just premtively catch the "this isn't an ADHD specific thing" by saying; That comment on this post is like going to a community of people in wheelchairs, finding an "ugh stairs" meme, and commenting "everybody hates stairs, that's not a wheelchair specific thing". Sure, everyone procrastinates, and you might think you relate but it's not the way we relate.

People procrastinate, but I'm pretty sure that most people don't sit in a cloud of anxiety, unable to do any work but also unable to do something fun, for six hours while staring at the wall unable to do anything. I'm pretty sure that when most people want to work, they just do so. I think that screaming at yourself to work but being unable to start is like, some kind of disorder... 🤔

It's like when I have an appointment today at 2 PM. Guess I'll get ready at 9 AM and sit around waiting until it's a reasonable time to leave to arrive an hour early...
