Single panel comic. The ADHD Alien character smiles while holding up a blank sheet of paper against a glowing yellow background. The character still has tears under their eyes but looks relieved. Three speech bubbles appear around the character. One says, “But look, I drew this comic!” Another says, “Not my deepest work…” A third finishes, “…but I got past the first step!”

Two panel comic. In the left panel, the ADHD Alien character stands with arms stretched out against a bright yellow background. The character has watery, spiral eyes. One speech bubble says, “I know I just have to start,” and another continues, “but it always feels like I’m doing the wrong thing!!” In the right panel, the character appears wrapped in several red ribbons labeled “Should,” “Shouldn’t,” and “Should do.” A speech bubble says, “Every time I start, my head says:” A large red scribbled thought bubble reads, “You should be doing this other thing!”

No wisdom from me this week, I don't know WHAT MY ISSUE IS (1/4) ADHD Alien Graphic Novel / Stream here: linktr.ee/adhdalien

Two panel comic. In the left panel, the ADHD Alien character is shown from the shoulders up against a pale yellow background. A speech bubble says, “I haven’t been able to work in weeks.” Another bubble asks, “Why not?” The character quietly replies, “I don’t know…” In the right panel, the same character has watery, spiral eyes and looks distressed against a peach colored background. A speech bubble says, “I don’t know what task to do first…” Another bubble reads, “no matter what I do, I’m always behind on tasks.”

HOW do I get out of waiting mode

In the first panel, the ADHD Alien character sits stiffly on a chair. One speech bubble says, “I said I’d write those e-mails today,” while another says, “but I can’t do anything because I have an appointment ‘soon’.” She looks frozen between intention and action.

In the second panel, the character stares at a large dark cloud labeled “soon.” The text explains that her brain treats “soon” as an unidentifiable mass. A note adds that timers can help by making time visible and concrete.

In the third panel, a pink blob representing her ADHD brain holds a battery and stands in front of a pile of batteries labeled with words like “power” and “energy.” The blob insists, “We need to preserve energy for later!” while the character protests, “No no no!” The scene illustrates the feeling of mentally reserving resources for a future event.

In the final panel, the character is curled up on a chair in frustration. A speech bubble says, “But now I’m waiting for my boyfriend to move in next week.” Another exclaims, “I CAN’T JUST DO NOTHING FOR A WHOLE WEEK!”

Panel 3

At the top, the ADHD Alien character moves through the clouds toward a large glowing star. The text explains that immediately rewarding activities feel more real and compelling because they provide a sense of satisfaction right away.

In the center, the character crawls across the sky reaching for another bright star. Smaller stars sparkle throughout the scene, creating the impression that attention is constantly being pulled toward the nearest source of reward. The stars represent hobbies, interests, entertainment, or other activities that provide immediate feedback and stimulation.

At the bottom, the text explains that long term goals and lasting life changes rarely feel rewarding in the moment. Because their benefits are distant and difficult to perceive, they are often harder to pursue consistently. The contrast between the bright nearby stars and the unseen future illustrates why immediate rewards can feel far more motivating than important long term objectives.

Panel 4

At the top, text explains that it can often feel as though meaningful change is impossible. The background shows a dark night sky filled with purple clouds, creating a quiet and reflective atmosphere.

In the center, the ADHD Alien character sits curled up with her arms wrapped around her knees. Her head is lowered as she looks toward a small glowing star floating nearby. The text explains that having no clear sense of time, and therefore no clear vision of the future, can sometimes feel hopeless.

At the bottom, large yellow text delivers the comic’s main message: this is not a lack of willpower but a neurological problem. The image contrasts feelings of sadness, frustration, and self doubt with a reminder that difficulties with motivation, planning, and pursuing long term goals are connected to how the ADHD brain processes time and rewards. The bottom text says "this isn't a problem with willpower, but a neurological problem"

Why can I only get myself to work 2 days before deadline?? 😭 (1/2)

Panel 1

now & not now in ADHD

At the top, a white silhouette stands beside a long timeline stretching far into the distance. A pink arrow runs almost the entire length of the timeline, illustrating how far into the future many people can perceive. The text explains that other people are often able to see and plan for events that are still far away.

Below, the ADHD Alien character stands beside a much shorter visible section of a timeline. A large cloud covers most of the future, leaving only a small portion visible directly in front of her. The text explains that with ADHD, she often perceives only the immediate “now.” The future exists, but much of it feels hidden behind a mental fog.

At the bottom, a glowing star accompanies text explaining that it can be difficult to start a task when the deadline is still outside the visible time horizon. The cloud serves as a metaphor for future events that are technically there but do not feel real, urgent, or motivating until they come much closer.

Panel 2

At the top, the ADHD Alien character looks exhausted and discouraged beside a timeline that disappears behind a large cloud. A glowing star representing a reward or deadline sits behind the cloud and outside her visible range. The text explains that when a reward or deadline is not within her time horizon, it is difficult to begin a task or stay motivated.

Below, the character suddenly appears excited and energized. This time, a glowing star is visible in front of the cloud, within the small area she can clearly perceive. An arrow points toward the star as the text explains that when something rewarding is within her time horizon, it naturally becomes the focus of her motivation and attention.

A final note explains that the rewarding thing is usually not the task she was originally supposed to be doing. The comic highlights how immediate rewards often overpower distant goals, even when the distant goal is objectively more important.

Pre-order the book this is from here adhd-alien.com and I’m also live right now and happy to talk! twitch.tv/adhd_alien/

I get so bored and understimulated that I listen to my impulsive thoughts, like I'd do ANYTHING to not feel that bored sometimes. I can't even remember how many toys I disassembled just to see what'll happen - and then I was sad they were broken lol WHAT WAS I EXPECTING

Young ADHD Alien lies flat on the floor surrounded by pencils, papers, and a remote control while staring blankly upward. The narration explains that boredom always came with a heavy, itchy feeling in the stomach.

Frame 2: The character looks toward a nearby pencil while explaining that, mixed with poor impulse control, boredom led to doing random or destructive things just to see “what happens if.” A close up shows a hand slowly reaching toward the pencil.

Frame 3: Alien stands beside a doodled on couch while her mother angrily asks why they would do that. The character quietly answers: “I don’t know.”

Frame 4: Three smaller scenes show the character at different ages repeating “I don’t know”, setting aflame a barbie, glueing a shell to her forehead and cutting her hair.

The Alien energetically vacuums while a TV show plays in the background. It explains that the character later found less obvious ways to drown out the restless feeling, like needing music or television to do chores.

Frame 2: The character watches TV while looking at a phone, showing how watching TV isn't enough stimulation alone.

Frame 3: ADHD Alien dramatically reaches toward a giant bowl of popcorn while shouting: “No, hand, stop!” The narration says she snacks “a LOT.”

Frame 4: The final panels show the character drinking caffeinated tea through a straw and doodling anime style sketches in class notebooks. The page explores how constant stimulation, movement, snacks, caffeine, and drawing became coping mechanisms for understimulation and restlessness connected to ADHD.

ADHD can have a serious impact on your life and mental health. These are some of the things that were and still are the hardest for me. Thanks for to everyone who joined me on stream while I was working on this 🫶

Top row: A girl imagines many dreams, ideas, and interests at once, full of excitement and possibility (left), followed by her lying on the floor, exhausted and unable to motivate herself, even for things she enjoys (right).
Second row: She hyperfocuses intensely on a topic, reading and learning until she becomes very knowledgeable (left), but then in a real conversation forgets everything and feels embarrassed and stupid (right).
Third row: She is often quiet and thoughtful but can suddenly become very loud and excited (left), which leads to overstepping socially and pushing others away, making her feel like being herself is wrong (right).
Fourth row: She struggles to maintain routines and work toward long-term goals (left), which turns into a feeling of being stuck and unable to create meaningful change (right).
Bottom row: She has trouble regulating what she says when emotional (left), resulting in a painful gap between what she believes is right and how she actually acts, leaving her disappointed in herself (right).
