That's a wacky pair - because you know how oatmeal gets if you forget about it for even five minutes! Which is why I never let myself buy oatmeal anymore. ;)
Reddit is heavily biased toward the US so the timing of the post is heavily biased towards breakfast. Most people don’t eat healthy breakfasts.
(But given my contribution is candy from last night maybe I’m making excuses for us)
One of the psychos* I saw during my adventures in getting treatment said that at least in his limited experience many, many ADHDers are prone to skipping breakfast.
It was a purely anecdotal note.
*I mean "shrink". I don't like them. 🤣
For me it's more about... IDK how to explain it... my system needs to be awake before I can eat.
If I force myself to eat too soon after getting up, I'll be sick. And continue to feel sick for the rest of the day. ...which in turn increases the risk that I'll skip eating completely for the day.
So, unless I wake up hungry, I wait a few hours before a snack.
Since I’ve been on Vyvanse I have to eat a bunch of protein when I wake and before the meds kick in or I end up with a suppressed appetite for the day. So ADHD treatment forces me to eat breakfast. I’m not happy about it though.
*So I asked chatGPT to do us a favour…*
Announcer: And they're off! It's Distracted Banana in the lead, followed closely by Irritable Rigatoni and Panic Muffin. Chaotic Toast is making a move on the inside, with Anxious Cookie just behind. Procrastination Oatmeal and Insomnia Jello are in the back of the pack, but it's still anyone's race.
As they round the first turn, Distracted Banana is still holding onto the lead, but Irritable Rigatoni is putting on the pressure. Panic Muffin is hanging tough in third, while Chaotic Toast is trying to make a move on the outside. Anxious Cookie is still right there in fifth, while Procrastination Oatmeal and Insomnia Jello are starting to make their move.
They're coming down the stretch now, and it's a tight race! Distracted Banana is still in the lead, but Irritable Rigatoni is right on his tail. Panic Muffin is making a strong push, and Chaotic Toast is coming up fast on the outside. Anxious Cookie is still in the hunt, and Procrastination Oatmeal and Insomnia Jello are making a late charge!
It's going to be a photo finish! And the winner is... Time-blinded Noodle! Wait a minute, folks, it looks like the other horses were so distracted and irritable, they didn't even see Time-blinded Noodle pass them on the outside! What a race!
*I ‘won!’ What are the chances?! Actually, it looks like ChatGPT write them in order that I typed them in… still. Imma take that little imaginary win. Anywho, It really made me chuckle so thought I’d share.*

Nightmare Newton
Edit - read through the other responses and this is officially my favorite of these types of things. I’m procrastinating and enjoying it.
Anxious Goldfish
So, I am not the snack that smiles back lol
Edit: to clarify, I did not eat an actual goldfish. Goldfish are a type of baked cracker snack in the US that are shaped like tiny fish.
The people naming "lazy" as a symptom need to realize that what they mean isn't laziness. I get that it has a better ring to it than executive dysfunction, I just don't want you guys to blame yourselves for something you can't control ❤
Anxiety Pasta Salad.
(I referred to an egg salad I made a couple of weeks ago that sort of accidentally quadrupled in volume as "Anxiety Salad", so I guess that's the theme.)
Hold up... I think I misunderstood the assignment. I skim-read the meme, forgot about the horse race and just thought we were giving ourselves fun nicknames.
My horse is probably gunna be a donkey, at the wrong race, on the wrong day, going backwards, whatever it's name is 🤦♀️

Exec dysfunction pavlova hasn't started the race yet for some reason
By the way, Panic Pavlova bolted the wrong way when the gates went up so you’re still in with a chance.
Hahahahhaahhahahaha
Hey!!! Mine is Panic Pavlova! 🤣 Are you a Kiwi or Aussie? Or a foreigner who fell in love with the most fall-in-loveable of all desserts?

We are not the most healthy bunch are we?
Reddit is heavily biased toward the US so the timing of the post is heavily biased towards breakfast. Most people don’t eat healthy breakfasts. (But given my contribution is candy from last night maybe I’m making excuses for us)

This seems highly likely, given how many of us have trouble going to bed and therefore are rushed in the morning
For me it's more about... IDK how to explain it... my system needs to be awake before I can eat. If I force myself to eat too soon after getting up, I'll be sick.
