this touches on such a weird aspect of adhd lots of folks think its just bouncing between a few tasks thats just busy  some might even have the awareness that adhd can often be like having dozens of windows each with dozens of tabs open five of which are playing music but that still doesnt fully capture the whole spastic thoughts idea  being scatter-brained isnt just about a scattering of thoughts and emotions about that specific moment the scattering effect applies to our sense of time as well  randomly getting angry over something from x months ago yup  getting upset about six out of the seventeen different possible reactions youre expecting from a difficult conversation that might happen soon or never or the year 2077 yup  sudden embarrassment over the same thing youve had sudden embarrassment from despite how many times this has happened and also it was like 15 years ago yup  were not just juggling whatever pops up in our head were juggling whatever pops up in our head from whatever whenever we happen to be at for that nanosecond in time
