A young woman sits on the floor, holding a phone to take a mirror selfie. Text overlay reads: "What made me realize I have ADHD" with a person shrugging emoji. The Lemon8 logo and username are in the bottom left corner.
A white camisole with small floral patterns lies on a quilted bed. Text overlay describes "starting 20 tasks and finishing none," with an example of half-done chores and watching YouTube, ending with a laughing emoji.
A person's hands are shown writing in an open lined notebook, resting on their lap. Text overlay reads: "time blindness" with examples like "It's only been 5 minutes!" (it's been 2 hours) or "I'll do it later" (3 weeks go by).
Habits I didn’t realize were ADHD
For the LONGEST time, I just thought something was wrong with me. I could never finish things I started, my brain felt like it had 100 tabs open, and no matter how hard I tried to just lock in and focus, it never worked. I labeled myself lazy, unmotivated, inconsistent… It wasn’t until I started
