Puts phone down

Checks the next days and the message is still there. Haven’t pressed send

It’s worse when it’s professionally. Yesterday I wrote and sent an email before lunch, except near the end of the day I saw I had an email in my Drafts folder and had never actually hit send.

When someone with anxiety meets someone with ADHD

I can’t tell you how many times i thought i sent a text or email just to find it sitting in my drafts a week later

This actually happens to me a lot at work…but it’s because:

• I sign work emails with a certificate and sometimes it asks for the password

• My company also has us mark each email with a third-party classification program.

These don’t come up until you hit Send, and sometimes can take several seconds.

So naturally I get distracted, open up a hundred more windows, and eventually reboot.

The really fun thing about this, is that it won’t even save a draft if it was waiting for a password…so Outlook continues to gaslight me on whether or not I wrote the email in the first place.

It’s really very common for ADHD lol these people

I’ll come back to the chat two hours later when I suddenly remember that this person hasn’t answered me yet only to find my message, halfway typed out, in the draft box.
