BREAKING NEWS I just finished a cup of still warm coffee, in one sitting. Please clap. I no longer have ADHD.

I must have magic powers. I can put something down for 5 seconds and then it completely disappears.

Annoyed by a company responding to my application with interest because it interrupted my flow writing a cover letter for another job application, in case you're wondering what hyperfocus looks like.

Hyperfocus for hours to get my Linux desktop config just so. Fourth test run, there's an error somewhere that the window manager doesn't log or report. *(faint sound like dry twigs snapping in my head)* Reboot into Windows. #ADHD life

code test at the top of the hour not nervous about the test but brain very much in #adhd mode identified by "there's an important thing today can't think about anything else until that's done"

I have an entry from July 2003 in my private journal that is titled “ADHD” and is just one line: Could this be what I have? http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/24/2355245 I got distracted y’know …

My wife is away for a couple of days and my ADHD has already completely taken hold. Make me realise how completely chaotic and messy my life would be without someone stable around me. ❤️

I've not been around much because ✨Life Chaos™️✨, but yesterday the publication of an article and documentary by the BBC about a "journalist" faking ADHD to get a diagnosis has enraged me. I paid to go through a private diagnosis because my undiagnosed and untreated ADHD was destroying my life. The NHS kept rebuffing me and even if I did get referred, it would have taken years because of the chronic underfunding the NHS has received since 2010. #ADHD #BBC #Panorama

Attached: 2 images ADHD brains are different. When you ask someone with ADHD to focus and concentrate on a task they aren't motivated and interested in, the brain looks more like it's asleep than it looks like it's concentrating. It's not laziness. It's neurology. #TikTok https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJujMHUB/

Wrote out my todo list; I've 8-9 boring but important things and 1 that'll be fun but is totally optional. Decisions decisions... #ADHD

i hate having ADHD. i hate feeling constantly overwhelmed by small tasks that i know are easily accomplished by other people. things that shouldn't be hard are so hard all of the time and i really wish my brain wasn't like this

Man, been on my #ADHD medication for a week now and it feels really fucking nice showing up to stand up and actually having stuff to report. Here's a big ol' list of stuff I was able to focus on and complete. Wild right? I know, who knew I could be this productive.

Happy Birthday fellow Tech Nottinghamite who also is called Jamie! Your blog is actually what inspired me to finally get my ADHD diagnosis and I can't thank you enough for that ☺️. Have a great day!

First day on meds. Let’s see if I can focus at work 🤞🏻#ADHD

Hey - it’s #ADHDObsessionWednesday! I want to hear from my #adhd peeps: what’s your current obsession or passion? I’m still obsessed with #Mastodon, the #Fediverse, and the possibility of a better internet. So I added a bunch of #IndieWeb features to my new site. (I was gonna do this on Monday but… I got distracted & forgot 😆) https://whatwasidoingagain.com/adhd-asides/adhdobsessionwednesday/

Now there is a Sidekick, who’s pitch is that it’s a “productivity browser”. Today it's launching a host of features geared to ADHD sufferers and the attention distracted more generally. Sidekick was a 2020 Y Combinator cohort member , and in March 2021 they raised $2M in a round led by Kleiner Perkins.

Seeing swathes of people suggest that “ADHD is made up” is wild. Try living in the brain of a person that has ADHD, you wouldn’t last a minute.

I'm slowly changing my attitude from: "I should be able to do work I don't find interesting" To: "I am not able to do work I don't find interesting" A small change but it feels important, enabled by gradually processing my diagnosis of #ADHD

oops tonight was my ADHD support group, guess I forgot about it again

Strengths: works well under pressure Weaknesses: doesn’t work otherwise

I've finally, after years of putting it off, paid to have myself assessed for ADHD. It'll be nice finally knowing if there is a reason I struggle so much with some things or if this is just how everyone feels all the time. #adhd

ADHD is the most poorly-named affliction ever. like hi do you have a profound physical inability to accomplish your goals specifically because they're your goals and also the thought of your friends not liking you makes you want to die? you may have Trouble Sitting Still Disorder

Mom and I chatting and in true ADHD family style we have at least two distinct and coherent conversation threads intermingling in the chat box bound by mere earthly concepts of causation and coherence.
