having an insane adhd day please bear with me

Sometimes, executive dysfunction/ADHD lies to you about a task that will only take an hour at best to make it seem like a huge, multi hour thing Today, I am finally cleaning/organizing my desk. ADHD was not lying 🥲

One of my toxic ADHD traits is that if paying a bill requires me to enter too much information, I just don't. Usually they then sign me up for this cool service called "collections" where they fill out all the info for me and all I have to do is enter my card number. It's very convenient. 11/10.

a montage as I code with intent for the first time in a long while. It seems that I make the same face when I code as I do when I spar. A thing I do as someone with profound ADHD, is that when I can focus, I record myself talking a process out and then I use the transcription to stub out my code.

Did three major adultings within an hour*. Witness my hyperfocus superpower. *after not doing them for weeks and months and years in one case. I will (again) learn nothing from this.

I recently shared that I was diagnosed with ADHD. I write these words 12 days into medication and holy shit I feel totally transformed. The stuck, scrambly feelings and frustration have nearly evaporated. I am firing on all cylinders, which turns out is super necessary in this moment in time. What a

I woke up this morning, took a pill, and proceeded to have one of the most productive writing days I've had in perhaps years. The day prior, a doctor diagnosed me with Adult ADHD. I finally drew the unfortunate trauma diagram that's been in my head for years now. In a pretty short timefra

Me: so it seems I'm probably #ADHD Friend: yeah, we know Me: what? Why didn't you tell me? Friend: we assumed you already knew!

"we never used to have all these women in their 30s suddenly getting diagnosed with ADHD" listen, I wouldn't have even noticed I have ADHD if I lived in an era where my doctor could ask if I want to lose 5lbs and then hand me enough amphetamines to see the face of God

the problem with most folk discovering cool content and websites from their rss feeds is that i have adhd i had adhd 20 years ago too, but the web wasn't built so much to predate upon it, and my adhd is also just worse now that and websites didnt make me angry every day because developers didnt go out of their way to make everything awful

ADHD is great for being dropped into a crisis situation, consuming all the documentation, talking to everyone, and then synthesizing the gestalt back in a format useful to exec leadership and their board, I think? Or it's just the adhd is comorbid with me being me?

In the interest of pleasing the imaginary person I am always trying to please, I am ADHDing hard and switching halfway between tasks in an effort to complete shit off my to-do list and feel productive. This is ADHD powered by anxiety and deep-seeded childhood trauma. #mentalHealth

Content warning: uk news, misinformation slash straight up lies about adhd, exercise

Most people seem to agree that building a personal brand requires consistently delivering useful content around a specific topic. I'm putting that together with my understanding of how ADHD presents for me personally. It feels like a challenge. 😅

Finally started a task I intended to start about ten months ago. I’m cured now right

Pro tip: If you want to stop being friends with an autistic ADHDer, you probably need to tell them straight out. Because all this "fading away into the woodwork" doesn't work with people who will often not speak to their friends in years without any of the friendship feelings changing. Not seeing someone doesn't change that we think of them as our friends. So not being in touch with us, doesn't communicate "I don't want to be friends anymore". You're going to have to say it. And don't worry, we'll respect your wishes. We just need to know to understand. #adhd #audhd #actuallyAutistic

Whenever someone tells me their name, I enter my Memory Palace, stand around for a bit, and then say "what did I come in here for?"

ADHD is not “can’t sit still disorder” ADHD is “posting in 10 group chats, subreddits and other posting platforms, never using the search function to see incidents of the same question being raised, asking for tips on how to do complex things like feed yourself and do one task. Upon discovering that you just sort of have to do the thing, you close all the tabs. You ignore your previous attempts to find an answer and do the same post a week later in the hopes that someone has come up with the perfectly suited to you way to do one task. You feel shame and embarrassment and anger and often nothing at all, whilst neurotypical people tell you that it’s easy to do one task you just have to want to do it. You want to do a lot of things but even the things that give you joy are insurmountable” disorder :)

How did I only just find out that antidepressants can reduce dopamine? I might try and titrate off my Sertraline, as perhaps my lifelong depression was more about the lack of dopamine that ADHD gives me? (Yes I will be sensible, yes I will consult with a doctor)
