  3. Another delayed start, thanks to yesterday's unwelcome discovery, looking up humane traps & where to put them. Then recovery mode before finally getting on with supper & trying to unwind with a movie. Not the movie I'd originally planned (Antman) as I wasn't in the mood for it anymore so rewatched The Remaining.
    Made it to bed about 00:30, over an hour earlier than my brain had calculated. Then spent 30+ minutes falling asleep, being instantly woken by phone slipping from hand, as I searched & set up some ambient music for sleep. Yes, I know, why bother 😂 but my brain was, nope, we need this!

  4. #ersteMale

    im haus die sonnenbrille auf wegen [bekenntnis vor mir selbst, quasi auch ein #ersteMale] migräne und kompletter überreizung.

    mein #actuallyADHD-gehirn fand den tag gestern obersuper, mein intellekt auch, meine innere autistin hat mir heute morgen allerdings direkt die rechnung zukommen lassen. schade, dass ich heute noch mit dem RE nach OL fahre und dort [immerhin mit dem romantischen partner] bei papa bin, was mich in der regel auch sehr herausfordert. uffz.

  6. Wrapped my head round some potential schedules for me to be working on & teaching myself to stick to.

    Aiming to get up at 06:00 in the morning so that when I get a job I can hopefully be compus mentis by the time I need to be there, assuming start is 08:30 - 09:00.

    Hoping I can help myself by starting all my days at the same time & with the same start up routine.

    Hoping I can start tomorrow but with just one night to get myself up to speed. I will be trying to remind myself that I am expecting tomorrow to fail as it will take time for me to adapt. Also, if I don't start trying / aiming for it I will never be able to adapt to it.

    Shout out to @TheBreadmonkey for his inspirational Posts (Toots) for reminding me that reality is hell, until you've gone out & flattened it & feel awesome (hopefully) for having grabbed it by it's twisty, twisty horns & survived.

  8. Much cooler day today, combined with new ADHD meds means I've been more productive this morning than I have been in weeks. Tidied studio and planned out music projects for the week. I'm going to spend some time picking up some of the half-finished stuff I'd just saved and then left, and see how well I can pick up the workflow again.

  9. Really interesting convo about PDA:

    "Avoidance is not the only way PDAers respond to demands.
    PDAers experience stress responses to any perceived demands.
    Those stress responses may be masked or internalized.

    (PDA is a genetic neurotype like Autism or ADHD. If you want to learn more you can click on Sally Cat’s page to learn more.)"

  11. Day three of Elvanse titration, it feels a little like I'm settling in to it.

    The funny thing with being more alert... it's much easier to spot when I'm getting distracted, which kinda makes me feel like I'm going backwards. I mean, I'm not, but I'm noticing when I get distracted halfway through something and consciously telling myself to finish what I was doing before flitting off to do something else!

    Funny things are brains.

  12. Day 1 on #Elvanse, everything seems to be going OK. I've got more energy than usual and feel a lot more alert. Trying to sort out multi-stage tasks has been met with some success, today's planned project only defeated by a missing power supply. I've been keeping a diary of how I'm feeling and what I've been doing as well as how much I'm eating and drinking. I definitely feel very self-conscious, but so far no bad side-effects. This is good.

  13. I'm very excited! My first batch of 30mg Elvanse arrived today. It's in the fridge waiting for me to start tomorrow morning. It arrived too late for me to start today.

  15. It's a 7 day working week for me yet again, surprise surprise! 💪💍🔨🥰 grateful for the awesome commissions coming in and for the dhamma talks, documentaries and video-essays freely available online, feeding my hungry mind during the long working hours

  16. Gabor Mate is worse than wrong about ADHD - I wish at least healthcare professionals/educators would realise the harm that his stance on this does and stopped quoting him
