Not specifically ADHD things but very few people I encounter understand how hard it is to do things that require lifting your hands above your head. That's literally how crucifixion kills. 😬

I swear I wanna just have the next person telling me it would be easier to clean the ceiling tiles by just wiping them in place instead of taking them down and doing it in the sink to do it themselves and see how hard it actually is.

My job requires me to have my hands above my head for 8 hours a day. My shoulders are strong af now.

Not from ADHD but my knees will allow me 10-15 minutes of standing still until righty decides it's sit or move time or you get the knife treatment. I can walk and move around for hours with no issues. There was a push for standing desks at work and that just sounds like torture for me.

Standing desks are often accompanied by little stepping platforms or a balance thing

Oh for real? I just got one and I never thought to get these types of things. I've heard of anti-fatigue mats, but what are these things called (just so I can look them up)?

I never "stand" at my standing desk, I'm always moving. Ngl, I thought the whole point of these desks was that standing for too long is uncomfortable, so you naturally move around more, take more breaks, and go for stretches.

So for the fancy version of stepping, I like this one, but a standard exercise board can also work. For the balance boards, I never purchased one but I remember someone recommending this brand. ymmv

Exactly how I feel about sitting up straight. If I can't lean back or sit fully cross-legged (or lay down ... 🤤), I would rather stand. To be clear, sitting straight hurts with more consistency than any other position. I'll take it, versus all the things I can do relatively without pain that would cripple my father and most other men I know.

that's ruptured disc pain, for me, from a lifetime of back abuse.

I can walk all day long and stand just fine but stadium style seating? After about 5 minutes it's agony.

Standing? What is this? (Writing as I'm currently pacing around the house with my phone). Pacing helps me relax or think about stuff. Also whenever I'm waiting the bus, almost all the times I'll be pacing around (I kinda wonder how others can simply stay still), 1-2k of my daily steps might happen around bus stops and 2-5k might happen inside the house, lol (a week ago I did ~13k steps according to my phone without leaving the house that day). I feel so oppressed when people tell me not to pace around (or not to move my legs) :/

PS. Without leaving the house and being around the middle of my day, my phone has recorded around 3k steps today.

Shout-out to all those retail/service employees that are demanded to stand in a 4x6 chairless box like some 90's RPG NPC, and then are yelled at for "leaning."

I swear that experience compressed my height by more than a few inches...And you better believe I practiced my martial arts kicks on the sales floor when the manager was out. Lol

Is that also related to ADHD? Mind blown, because that is one of my defining weaknesses, and always has been!

I swear to god, I need to get myself checked. Every now again I see a meme so specific that I question myself.

[–] greatwhitebuffalo41@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 month ago

I saw so many that I went and got checked and I was initiated into the club lmao
