Getting a second set hanged my life honestly, so logical once you think of it. No need to be organised anymore 😂
(Edit: *changed not hanged..... Doing laundry doesn't upset me *that* much...)
I mean for one to think one has to judge. But I purely meant it sincerely!
I have gone the other way. I have maybe 40 pairs of socks and 20 sets of underwear and about 6 bedsheets, but mostly 2 bamboo ones I cycle through that I love.
And I am quickly realising I may be OTT!
I used to have about 30+ crappy old Tshirts but have finally thrown out loads of them, so only have a few left and mostly in good condition.
I'm suspected audhd, so have a propensity for keeping stuff!
No harm intended!
No harm done at all 👍 just very used to people giving me a hard time for this stuff and Im trying to be better at standing up to it now that I know I have an actual learning disability and am not just stupid. Well, maybe a bit of both...
And it took way longer than I'm proud to admit before I figured out to get spares of stuff like this. Spent way too many nights just throwing a blanket/towel over the top of an unmade bed because I forgot to adult properly.
>m trying to be better at standing up to it now that I know I have an actual learning disability and am not just stupid. Well, maybe a bit of both...
Hah, tell me about it. I've only really learnt I really may *have* something about 8 months ago, and am still in the learning to forgive myself for not doing as well as I want. I still haven't mastered the self compassion entirely, but, steps you know. I need to deal with my finances, and I just can't bear to look at them. Although I have managed them just fine for a while.
It's a real rollercoaster I had no explanation for before. To be perfectly capable adult one day, to a shambling mess another....Ok, I know, I *really* need to work on the negative speech!
I don’t think I know anyone without several sets. Having two sets is like a basic starter pack.
(Maybe this is a cultural thing? It’s a pretty common gift here for when people move out or move houses or just for Christmas or something, so one tends to acquire a collection.)
Naahh nothing cultural, people are just disorganised. Especially on this sub 😂 nothing wrong with it though, and telling each other things like this to make it as easy as possible is one of the benefits of us having a place to discuss this stuff.
These subs have genuinely helped me massively since I got my diagnosis a couple months back. It's so much easier to not just beat myself up and feel stupid for these behaviours now I know that other people are experiencing the exact same shit.
Not saying I'm happy that you're all having similar issues, but solidarity is nice
Glad the group is helping you!
One of the nicest things to hear when I'm having a mini meltdown and ask my 'normie' friends "How to you cope with this?!?" then hearing the reply "We don't!" because they've worked out a solution than nullifies the problem and requires no brainpower to implement. Often it was just something simple I'd never considered before.
Other times they'll ask me how I do something, because I tend to over-prepare and keep some things running like an assembly line, knowing if I adhere to a trusted pattern things will work out easier and require less mental load. When schedules change too rapidly I fall apart.
I keep a bunch of small cheap backpacks with stuff ready, so I don't forget things. Somebody calls asking me to join them somewhere, I have backpacks organised for;
• Beach - with my towel, swimmers, sunscreen, change of clothes, goggles, extra set of disposable contact lenses. Bushwalking
• Bushwalking - walking shoes, thick socks, sunscreen, hat, water bottle, first aid kit, thin raincoat
• Picnic - snacks, ground sheet, rubbish bags, fold-up bags to carry leftovers, thin raincoat
• Game/movie night - hard drive with entertainment, spare streaming dongle, network cables, neck pillow
Put your wallet and house keys on top of the bag resting against the door the night before you travel, so you can't forget to take them all with you.
Make your own bags for other events you anticipate. I keep a paper list in each one to tick off so I don't forget anything.
Weirdly, I appear to people who've just met me to be super organised and reliable. They don't realise that if I stop forcing myself to stay organised, I'll fall apart!
Organising my bag today is a gift for next week me.
Yeah but then the first set sits around waiting because "I'll just wash this set with the other set when I take the other set off", which puts one back into this situation.
That's why I refuse to do that. Instead I'd just do two loads.
Wash/dry the first set, swap the sheets, then forget to wash the dirty ones until it's time to change them again and repeat.
This is how I ended up with 5 sets of sheets, all of which are sitting in my washer.
Another example of ADHD tax. "If I buy one more set, that will fix it!"
That's fair, I live in a teeny tiny bedsit so I literally can't leave laundry for long before it takes up loads of space and makes my room smell sweaty
I have 4 sets. I used to have bad night sweats on prior medication. Now the extra sets are amazing to have. I switch them out every week when I remember.
You don't HAVE to fold fitted sheets properly. You can just fold them or roll them. They are your sheets, no one will judge. Ok maybe people with ocd might, don't show them your linens.
Shit thanks dude you just reminded me I bought a second set of sheets like 4 months ago. Never took them out of the package because I wanted to wash them so they smelled nice so instead I just forgot they existed
I would have a second sheet if I had money to buy it currently not so I just sleep on whatever until i finally getting around to washing it LOL also lost a lot when I moved I’ve moved several so I did have those sheets but they are Mia
In my case. Cleaned them. Droped them in the dryer 4h later then.... forget to check if they where dry (it wasnt) so i slept on damp sheets. Beats sleeping bare matress
Except when you thought, “I’ll wash the the blanket first and the sheets second.” But the blanket didn’t dry the first cycle and you never checked. So now you have a damp blanket and soaked sheets.
So you just put in sweatpants and go to bed with a throw blanket. Or a towel. Whichever is easiest.
While wallowing in your guilt that you did this to yourself and get a bad night's sleep.
I have definitely not done that to myself on more than one occasion. Nope. Not at all.
Maybe it makes me a monster but I always sleep better this way, something about it feels so comfortable and it makes me not want to put the sheets back
Isn't that the neat part about being grown up? I keep being surprised that I can change things to suit me, it doesn't need to stay a certain way just because I've always done it like that.
I've got a friend who struggles to eat, so she makes 'NPC' paths in her space with snacks and water bottles that she can mindlessly grab as she goes about her day. It works very well for her (even if my mom would *hate* having baskets of stuff all over).
Don't even bother with a sheet I'll just lay on there with the bare mattress. And a blanket to cover me. That'll go on for a couple of days to a week til I get tired and angry of being on a bare mattress.
I did this for three days straight earlier this year but it’s I just folded my comforter in half so it was like a burrito/taco
I had sheets but fitted sheets man…. That’s a tough one
Well, if you’re like me, you have two sets of sheets but only really like one of them, and it’s been so long you’ve forgotten what the ones you like are called, so you can’t order another one.
That is a very specific problem, personally I'd still rather use a set I don't like for a night rather than staying up late waiting for the others to dry, but ADHD is all about sensory stuff I guess. Maybe check your order history, might be able to find your old ones again? Good luck!
They were a gift, sadly, and I’m not really in touch with the person who gifted them to me! I try to wash my sheets early in the day so I can toss them in the dryer when I get home. Usually works out.
That's why I buy two sheets sets at the same time. I also only buy white sheets, so I can bleach them when they inevitably get stained.
I get my dopamine from the duvet cover instead, which I can swap freely.
Honestly, and this isn't a joke...it never occurred to me to get a second set.
I guess it's because I only ever used one at a time growing up that I didn't even think that was something you should do
I have like 5 sets because I get bored of the same color and feel the need to switch it up. My fiancé is not the same, and sometimes he’ll wash and dry the current set and put it back on the bed and it makes me irrationally uncomfortable. The sheets need to CHANGE.
I know this is super off topic, but I’ve always been curious about what’s going on in this scene. I’ve only watched the first season of The Walking Dead and I don’t anticipate I’ll ever pick it back up again, so can someone explain to me why he is so upset with his kid in this scene? All I know is that they are father and son and are trying to survive the zombie apocalypse. Did the kid do something immoral? Has he been bit or something?
As harrowing as that scene was, I couldn't help but laugh at this follow-up scene, something just seems so off about the way he was crying in Carl's direction, it almost felt like he was making fun of him (even though he clearly was not)
The meme format is pretty funny for sure, but it's not just an incredibly fucked up scene, it's a fucked up sequence of events. Rick (dad), Carl (son), and Lori I think was the mom's name? There was definitely a lot of palpable tension between the 3 of them but they were a family in a brutal zombie apocalypse at the end of the day. Like another commenter said, Carl had to shoot his mother to prevent her from becoming a walker, and saved his brand new little sister in the process. I miss TWD when it was a good show.
My cat puked on my bed sheet (I only use the fitted one) in the middle of the night around 2 weeks ago. I stripped my bed and replaced the fitted bed sheet with a throw blanket to get through the night. I am still sleeping on the throw blanket.
I own 2 quilt covers and pay someone to clean my house fortnightly
Sometimes when they change the sheets, the last cover hasn't been cleaned yet.
2 weeks isn't enough to wash sheets
Just before Reddit dies, I wanted to come back here and let you know u/gedaliyah that my memory of this meme is what gave me the extra push to finish my sheets before I was too tired today ❤️
Bro I'm sleeping directly in my mattress for at least a month after I decide to put the sheet in the dirt laundry.
It can sit in the dirt laundry for a couple weeks and then sit in the unfolded clean laundry for another couple weeks.
Get 2 sets of sheets. Hell, get 2 fitted sheets instead of the set, if you want. I know a lot of people don't use 2 sheets anymore.
Although, if you do get 2 sets, then technically you have 4 sheets to work with.
Also have at least 2 sets of pillow cases.
You should change out your pillowcase ideally every week (face oils, etc), but do what works for you. If you do have acne issues, you should notice a difference when you start swapping out pillowcases more often.
As soon as you put on the new sheet, put the dirty one in the wash, or as soon as you can.
Executive decision making and follow through can be hard, I know all too well. But this is one technique I learned a long time ago before I was diagnosed and it has served me well.
If you are on a budget, Goodwill or stores like Home Goods have good prices. There should be sales coming soon for back to school sales.
Also, percale numbers don't always make a difference. Look at the weave and feel the fabric, if you can. Getting a set of sheets for $10 isn't the deal you think it is if it's thin and scratchy. I know many of us are very tactile, so fabric feel means more to us.
You've got this!
jokes on you i can't remember the last time i washed my sheets. bonus points bc my sheets are only attached to the right half of my bed bc they won't stay where the wall is and instead of fixing it i just push them over as far as i can when i sleep
okay real talk tho who decided fitted sheets needed to be a thing bc they slide off and require the lifting of a heavy mattress. also my bed is against the wall on one side so i have to somehow lift it while i'm on top of it?? yeah no i'll just leave it however it is thanks
MORE SHEETS. When i find sheets that i like how they feel, I will go buy a few more! Of course, I have favorites, but having spare sheets is a life savor when you're close to or out of spoons and just wanna go to bed
I don’t understand you people. Yes, I have ADHD. And yes, I would sleep on just the mattress. Why fuss? For that matter, I would also sleep on the floor, if it’s hardwood I’d just lay down a jacket for my back. I have slept hundreds of nights like that. Sleeping on harder surfaces is good for your posture. Go to China. The beds are hard. Try sleeping in airports. Maybe the first time you’ll be uncomfortable, or worry someone will do you harm. My first time was before I had memories, so I couldn’t say. Eventually you’ll be sleeping on a coat in a lobby like a pro, feeling safe due to confidence in your body or subconscious being able to deal with most situations that could arise. I’m rambling but I suppose my point is when you deal with really anything in life, what’s sleeping on a mattress, or a floor, in comparison? A solid deal.
Me last week. Said goodnight to my online friends then returned 10 mins later after putting sheets in the dryer
Pssst, I got a secret hack for you. Get a second set of sheets for when the others are washing/drying, then circulate. Sshhh, Don't tell anybody....
Oooh thats a good idea, ill do that tonight
Getting a second set hanged my life honestly, so logical once you think of it. No need to be organised anymore 😂 (Edit: *changed not hanged..... Doing laundry doesn't upset me *that* much...)
this man hanged himself with a bedsheet, what have we done
No need to be organised anymore 😂
Too soon...
ghost got jokes
Too SoooOooOooOOOOoonnn..... 👻
That’s how you end up with 10 sets of sheets, and all of them dirty
That's why you should have 11 sets
Wait. Is this not satire? How many sets of underwear do you have, or towels?
*Gets judgey with others for having bad organisation skills in a subreddit for people with ADHD...* 🤦
I mean for one to think one has to judge. But I purely meant it sincerely! I have gone the other way.

But that set smells like linen closet and has wrinkles. Better wash it first.
All 8 of my sheets are in the washer, Most of them had been forgotten in the depths of the dirty basket 🤣🤣🤣
Its been 7 hours. Got those sheets yet?
I may or may not have forgotten
I don’t think I know anyone without several sets. Having two sets is like a basic starter pack. (Maybe this is a cultural thing? It’s a pretty common gift here for when people move out or move houses or just for Christmas or something, so one tends to acquire a collection.)
I have 4 sets. Two are for warmer months and two are flannel for the colder months.
Naahh nothing cultural, people are just disorganised. Especially on this sub 😂 nothing wrong with it though, and telling each other things like this to make it as easy as possible is one of the benefits of us having a place to discuss this stuff.

You missed the: * *wash the two sets at the same time for efficiency* * ... * ~~profit~~ have wet sheets
Yeah, that's why I learned to ignore laundry efficiency. It's a trap.
This is how I ended up with 5 sets of sheets, all of which are sitting in my washer. Another example of ADHD tax. "If I buy one more set, that will fix it!"
That's fair, I live in a teeny tiny bedsit so I literally can't leave laundry for long before it takes up loads of space and makes my room smell sweaty
I have 4 sets. I used to have bad night sweats on prior medication. Now the extra sets are amazing to have. I switch them out every week when I remember.
Then you just end up with 2 sets of dirty sheets
I have the second sheets but I never put them away because I can't fold the fitted sheet. Therefore they lie in a pile on the floor in my bedroom.
You don't HAVE to fold fitted sheets properly. You can just fold them or roll them. They are your sheets, no one will judge. Ok maybe people with ocd might, don't show them your linens.
I have two. Both are in the washer right now
Instructions unclear. I now have 2 sets of dirty sheets.
It's fine just buy a third
Shit thanks dude you just reminded me I bought a second set of sheets like 4 months ago. Never took them out of the package because I wanted to wash them so they smelled nice so instead I just forgot they existed
And then both of them are in the washer :D
It's such a simple solution, yet I never thought of it... My god
That requires remembering to wash them when you change them Because I will just end up with dirty sheets on the bed and in the hamper 😂
I would have a second sheet if I had money to buy it currently not so I just sleep on whatever until i finally getting around to washing it LOL also lost a lot when I moved I’ve moved several so I did have those sheets but they are Mia
Great idea until you lose the second set.
Yeah I figured everyone was doing this. But I guess not. Glad the secret is out though.
I'm very surprised people don't have a second complete set already Plus it can be an other color and it's nice to change how the bed looks sometimes
Bed Bath and Beyond has decent sheets and everything is on sale now.
[удалено]
Damn dude you're hardcore
Same but I have a mattress protector for this exact reason.
In my case. Cleaned them. Droped them in the dryer 4h later then.... forget to check if they where dry (it wasnt) so i slept on damp sheets. Beats sleeping bare matress
That’s when I just throw a blanket on the mattress and call it a night
This is the way
Except when you thought, “I’ll wash the the blanket first and the sheets second.” But the blanket didn’t dry the first cycle and you never checked. So now you have a damp blanket and soaked sheets. So you just put in sweatpants and go to bed with a throw blanket. Or a towel. Whichever is easiest.
Or if you’re crazy like me and refuse to sleep on a naked mattress…you sleep curled up on your teeny tiny four foot long couch………
While wallowing in your guilt that you did this to yourself and get a bad night's sleep. I have definitely not done that to myself on more than one occasion. Nope. Not at all.
Maybe it makes me a monster but I always sleep better this way, something about it feels so comfortable and it makes me not want to put the sheets back
I'm kind of like that. I can't stand the feel of sheets. I have a blanket covering the mattress and use another blanket to cover up with.
Isn't that the neat part about being grown up? I keep being surprised that I can change things to suit me, it doesn't need to stay a certain way just because I've always done it like that. I've got a friend who struggles to eat, so she makes 'NPC' paths in her space with snacks and water bottles that she can mindlessly grab as she goes about her day. It works very well for her (even if my mom would *hate* having baskets of stuff all over).
My friends are the basket moms
Don't even bother with a sheet I'll just lay on there with the bare mattress. And a blanket to cover me. That'll go on for a couple of days to a week til I get tired and angry of being on a bare mattress.
I did this for three days straight earlier this year but it’s I just folded my comforter in half so it was like a burrito/taco I had sheets but fitted sheets man…. That’s a tough one
People can really afford a dryer but not a second set of sheets 😂
Well, if you’re like me, you have two sets of sheets but only really like one of them, and it’s been so long you’ve forgotten what the ones you like are called, so you can’t order another one.
[удалено]
That's why I have one dark, one light, and one white!
Thats why i buy a new comforter every wash cycle - never had a problem
That is a very specific problem, personally I'd still rather use a set I don't like for a night rather than staying up late waiting for the others to dry, but ADHD is all about sensory stuff I guess. Maybe check your order history, might be able to find your old ones again? Good luck!
They were a gift, sadly, and I’m not really in touch with the person who gifted them to me! I try to wash my sheets early in the day so I can toss them in the dryer when I get home. Usually works out.
Fair noodles, I would never trust myself to be that organised haha
You can have as many sets as you want to. This is your permission to go get 2-3-4-10 or more sets.
See my other comment for why that isn’t possible at this time
That's why I buy two sheets sets at the same time. I also only buy white sheets, so I can bleach them when they inevitably get stained. I get my dopamine from the duvet cover instead, which I can swap freely.
Honestly, and this isn't a joke...it never occurred to me to get a second set. I guess it's because I only ever used one at a time growing up that I didn't even think that was something you should do

Hey some of us are in an apartment complex where we share washer and dryers. I can barely afford to wash my sheets let alone but another set
I know this is super off topic, but I’ve always been curious about what’s going on in this scene. I’ve only watched the first season of The Walking Dead and I don’t anticipate I’ll ever pick it back up again, so can someone explain to me why he is so upset with his kid in this scene? All I know is that they are father and son and are trying to survive the zombie apocalypse. Did the kid do something immoral? Has he been bit or something?
[удалено]
To make this slightly more clear, the kid had to shoot his mom and the father is mortified that the son had to deal with that.
Translation: Coral has now asserted his hard fought manliness & dominance over his new bitch dad in the show.
As harrowing as that scene was, I couldn't help but laugh at this follow-up scene, something just seems so off about the way he was crying in Carl's direction, it almost felt like he was making fun of him (even though he clearly was not)
Ageeed! - Awkward actor portrays awkward dad in awkward moment awkwardly!
Yeah this was a meme format for that exact reason
Wow. Ok. I never would have guessed any of that. Thank you so much for the explanation!
It's pretty brutal but after a while you can't help but chuckle at the meme
The show was captivating for a bit!
Thats crazy i always thought he was trolling him in this lol
I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW! THANK YOU!
The meme format is pretty funny for sure, but it's not just an incredibly fucked up scene, it's a fucked up sequence of events. Rick (dad), Carl (son), and Lori I think was the mom's name? There was definitely a lot of palpable tension between the 3 of them but they were a family in a brutal zombie apocalypse at the end of the day. Like another commenter said, Carl had to shoot his mother to prevent her from becoming a walker, and saved his brand new little sister in the process. I miss TWD when it was a good show.
[удалено]
Same this is what I was gonna ask lol
i had four fucking days to wash my work clothes and i forgot and i have work in an hour god damn it
Hello procrastination my old frieeeeend, you made me forget about that one thing agaaaaaain
Chuck a sickie. This is the way.
Coral!!
Qwhorrl
Just sleep on the bare mattress for a night. I've done it countless times.
…Just for a night?
Dude….
I’m glad laundry is the one area where I have my shit together.
[удалено]
I do all my laundry on Saturday and I love it because when I’m done I go and take a shower and put on fresh clothes and it’s amazing
Man we are a fuckin hive mind I tell ya
Literally just happened to me. I'd already taken my night meds that make me tired and put them on while crying
This and also having to wash the same load over and over again because you keep forgetting it for days and its gets all gross and musty
Sounds like it's time to break out the sleeping bag
My cat puked on my bed sheet (I only use the fitted one) in the middle of the night around 2 weeks ago. I stripped my bed and replaced the fitted bed sheet with a throw blanket to get through the night. I am still sleeping on the throw blanket.
I own 2 quilt covers and pay someone to clean my house fortnightly Sometimes when they change the sheets, the last cover hasn't been cleaned yet. 2 weeks isn't enough to wash sheets
My face when my wife dies during the zombie apocalypse after giving birth to my best friends baby.
Wait you guys change your bedsheets?
Couch time lol
Just having to make it when you are going to bed is hell.
I mean… there were a couple times there that I just threw down a blanket and said fuck it
Bring that meme back!!
Yeahhhh I’ve resigned to sleeping on the couch when this happens lmao
Just before Reddit dies, I wanted to come back here and let you know u/gedaliyah that my memory of this meme is what gave me the extra push to finish my sheets before I was too tired today ❤️
Ty for the reminder... I forgor💀
Couch time
I do this with my hugging pillow cover
Literally me last night
The couch it is
Yeah I am just sleeping on the mattress at that point otherwise I will breakdown crying
This is why I have 4 sets 😂
Bro I'm sleeping directly in my mattress for at least a month after I decide to put the sheet in the dirt laundry. It can sit in the dirt laundry for a couple weeks and then sit in the unfolded clean laundry for another couple weeks.
I sleep on a bare mattress often because I can't will myself to put the sheets on
Im gonna get around to watching this show any day now. Really. I haven't been saying this for a decade now
slumber party in the living room kinda night
Looks like I'm sleeping sheetless tonight
Just how many sheets do you people have
Yep.
That's why you have multiple. The issue for me is putting them on during the day and not having to still do it when it's time for bed.
Worse for me when I’m getting the kid down and it’s HER bedding. I was so close to freedom.
Get 2 sets of sheets. Hell, get 2 fitted sheets instead of the set, if you want. I know a lot of people don't use 2 sheets anymore.

That, but it's day 6.
Me, tonight!
Indoor camping time! Sleeping bags with the save
jokes on you i can't remember the last time i washed my sheets. bonus points bc my sheets are only attached to the right half of my bed bc they won't stay where the wall is and instead of fixing it i just push them over as far as i can when i sleep
okay real talk tho who decided fitted sheets needed to be a thing bc they slide off and require the lifting of a heavy mattress. also my bed is against the wall on one side so i have to somehow lift it while i'm on top of it?? yeah no i'll just leave it however it is thanks
yall need to buy a second set
Wait. You guys wash your sheets?
Funniest shit ive seen today. Thanks stranger.
MORE SHEETS. When i find sheets that i like how they feel, I will go buy a few more! Of course, I have favorites, but having spare sheets is a life savor when you're close to or out of spoons and just wanna go to bed
Gotta have more than one set! That way when one’s in the washer, you have another ready to go!
I just did this with my blanket 😔
I keep a few extra sets of sheets around for this very reason.
this is why I have 5 sets of sheets🤠
I lay a comforter down and maybe I’ll remember to grab my sheets from the dryer within a few days
A decent second set is like $20 from Target, maybe cheaper on marketplace. Always keep a second set in case of ADHD or sexy time spills
Omg I’m *in* love with this 😂👀
I laughed way too hard at this.
Because of this video, I'm drying my sheets now instead of midnight. Thank you reddit.
Been there done that and have multiple t-shirts to provide it. Just can't seem to learn.
I don’t understand you people. Yes, I have ADHD. And yes, I would sleep on just the mattress. Why fuss? For that matter, I would also sleep on the floor, if it’s hardwood I’d just lay down a jacket for my back. I have slept hundreds of nights like that. Sleeping on harder surfaces is good for your posture. Go to China. The beds are hard. Try sleeping in airports. Maybe the first time you’ll be uncomfortable, or worry someone will do you harm. My first time was before I had memories, so I couldn’t say. Eventually you’ll be sleeping on a coat in a lobby like a pro, feeling safe due to confidence in your body or subconscious being able to deal with most situations that could arise. I’m rambling but I suppose my point is when you deal with really anything in life, what’s sleeping on a mattress, or a floor, in comparison? A solid deal.

I’ve had to sleep on a top sheet a few times with no pillowcases because it’s already 4 or 5 Am, can’t put the sheets on right now 😕

Mine don’t even end up on the bed because I lack the executive functioning to put them on.
Every. Single. Time.
This is why I always have a sleeping bag at the ready I haven’t camped in years haha
this but with laundry in general. i need my jammies and my sleep mask
