If you've been on Twitter at all this week, you're probably aware of all the discourse (and memes) about ADHD.While we agree that it's a bit over-diagnosed and some people should really not be tweeting about the disorder, the fact is that it plagues a large portion of the world, and it's really not easy to live with. The symptoms go far beyond not being able to sit still or not being able to focus on a task. These tweets might be a little too real for those of us afflicted by ADHD, but they provide a lot of insight as to what it actually feels like to struggle with the condition. 

Humans love to throw around generalizations about the unspoken rules of dating etiquette, but when it really comes down to it, each and every relationship comes with its own little nuances and boundaries. I'm sure you've heard it a million times, so forgive the platitude, but communication really is key. Texting etiquette can be a tricky one, because unlike having a conversation in person, texting makes it possible to communicate something anytime, anywhere, to anyone who may or may not be able to receive the message at the time. This can quickly become a problem of (literal) miscommunication if the texter is putting themselves out there in a moment of peak vulnerability. The silence becomes loaded with uncertainty and maddening possibilities. For some, this can be too much to bear—I wonder what they're doing? Are they ignoring me on purpose? Surely they'd text back right away if they were actually interested. I guess they're not interested. Maybe I'll ignore them and see how they like it. For those on the other side of this anxiety, there are a million reasons why they might not be able to text back right away, the most obvious one being that people are simply busy. If someone's a serial offender of the late text, sure, it could mean that they're inconsiderate or even disinterested, or it could mean that they suffer from ADHD, or maybe they're a luddite who hates phones. The point is, there's no blanket rule for this sort of thing, which is proven in the fact that individual opinions vastly differ on the topic. This brings us to @Arii__876, who provoked an interesting discussion on the nuances of texting after she tweeted a pretty hot take claiming that nobody forgets to text someone back if they're genuinely interested in them. We've gathered a range of responses full of amusing insight on different approaches to maintaining relationships. 

If you have trouble following through with various unfinished projects that keep piling up, or you find yourself having to reread the same sentences over and over again whenever you pick up a book, these relatable ADHD memes might resonate with you. Sure, memes probably aren't going to help keep you focused on the task at hand, but at least they'll remind you that you're not alone in the struggle.

October is ADHD Awareness Month, and to commemorate that with which we struggle, we're serving up some intensely relatable memes. There's a lot more to ADHD than being fidgety and impulsive. The disorder comes with the pain of forgetfulness, constant distractions, mood swings, and a whole lot of frustration. While these memes won't cure those ails, it certainly doesn't hurt to remind ourselves we're not alone. 

Twitter hasn't really stopped memeing in the last week, but we're pretty glad that this popular joke has nothing to do with Covid-19, its vaccine, or politics. This trend uses an image of a soul living a human body, and the fun really started when @KingCrustacean shared it last Wednesday. Their caption deals with the plight of ADHD sufferers, and reads "The ADHD leaving my body when my mom tells me to "Get a planner." 

Many of the memes deal with the incredibly unhelpful advice people give people with depression, ADHD, or anxiety - but some of them instead roast peoples' own hypocrisy. Like when your atheism leaves your body when a plane flies into some turbulence - or when your car starts hydroplaning. Both themes have resulted in some Grade A twitter memes. And we've collected the very best examples right here for you.

If you've got a short attention span and are craving some laughs, Twitter is basically a godsend. The only problem is the fact that there is so much awful and unfunny stuff waiting for you on that godforsaken website. To save you the pains of being subjected to its cringey takes and political diatribes, we've put together this gallery of quality tweets. It's all the good without any of the bad. Happy scrolling.

Whether your ADHD turns any task into a monstrous struggle, or you're pretty neurotypical but you've got a loved one who shows all the symptoms, anyone who really understands ADHD will find these memes hilariously relatable. Maybe you even ended up here through a series of rapid distractions. Hopefully you'll be able to hyper-focus on these entertaining memes and tweets.

After a long week of working or looking for a new job or whatever it is people do with their time now, doesn't it feel nice to just sink into the couch and laugh at some memes? That's exactly what we did with this hearty set of memes, tumblr comments, and random tweets filled with the best kind of dumb humor.

If you have ADHD, then you'll understand the struggle of trying to stay focused on a boring task. We curated these memes just for you, and we hope they're entertaining enough to keep you focused! Check out even more here!

Maybe you were diagnosed with ADHD when you were five. Maybe your boyfriend has it. Either way, the fairly common Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder can be a royal pain in the ass. But you know what we do when faced with such pains? We try to laugh at 'em. Hopefully these ADHD-related posts will garner that reaction from you.

If you've got ADHD, then you'll know how hard it is to stay focused on just one damn thing at a time - especially when that thing is incredibly boring. We hope that these memes about having ADHD are funny enough to keep you focused for at least a few minutes!

These memes are pretty damn specific, but we know that anyone with ADHD or ADD will truly relate to them. It's frustrating not being able to pay attention for sh*t, but we hope that these memes can at least help you feel understood!

The incoming president of the NRA, Oliver North, recently stated that the high number of school shootings in the US isn't due to guns, but rather to the use of Ritalin among school-aged kids and violence in the media. This is what Twitter had to say about it.
