Sigh. I really should block some people earlier. Some people just suck your energy with a useless argument and turn every word around in your mouth. But, nooo, I fall for it every time again and try to explain myself. I could spend my time more productively by talking to a bloody wall. 🙄

Everyone: With your lack of #resilience you should only make one appointment per day at most.
Me: I’m afraid you are right. Will do so.Someone: Hey, are you free on Monday?
Me: Sure, I have two appointments already, but I can squeeze you in.My brain: You had it coming, idiot! *psychosomatic #stress-induced #vertigo enabled* 😵💫

Instead of doing stuff, I’ve been idling all day. Fucking waste of time. Not even sure what I did all day. 😔

There’s an #InstantNoodles snack by #Knorr called ‘Knorr Asia Noodles’. Yes, I know! Knorr. Asia. It’s silly. But the type ‘Duck Taste’ is actually very good! (Also it’s #vegan.)
However, that name ‘Duck taste’ is a catastrophe! First of all, it should be ‘Duck Flavour’, but secondly, and that’s even worse, I can’t read it without thinking:
D-d-d-danger lurks behind you,
There's MSG, out to find you,
What to do? Just grab on to some,
DuckTaste – Woo-oo -

Yesterday I met a friend and his dog. We had a real ball! (It would’ve been fun to play catch with the dog, but we didn’t actually have a ball, though.) I genuinely felt it gave me more energy than it cost me.
Well, today I’m sprawled on the sofa, unable to do anything! 🙄

Please excuse me.
I have an extremely loud and obnoxious inner monologue that gets more annoying if it's interrupted.
What you have to say is important to me but it's very difficult to shift my concentration away from the noise in my mind.
Thank you for your patience while I spend between 1 and 600 minutes in motionless silence.

Forgetfulness. Hyperfocus. RSD. Emotional dysregulation.
These aren't personality flaws.
They're what ADHD actually looks like.

🤔Ever notice how "just take a bubble bath" does nothing when your brain is completely fried?
Traditional self-care often asks for more effort and planning than a depleted ADHD brain can spare, so it lands as another chore you're failing at.
The tricks that work tend to be quick, sensory, and guilt-free, like a cold-water reset or a head-to-toe shake-out that signals safety to your nervous system.

A Cool Guide To Knowing If You Have ADHD

A Cool Guide To Knowing If You Have ADHD

Most people think ADHD is the problem — but what actually matters is what your brain is exposed to daily.
Some habits regulate your nervous system. Others quietly drain it. And that difference decides whether your day feels manageable or overwhelming.
If you've been feeling mentally exhausted, easily overwhelmed, or like your brain won't slow down — it might not be you. It might be what your brain is dealing with every single day.
Small shifts = big changes for an ADHD brain.

This Is What Building Looks Like
Building doesn't feel like progress from the inside. There's no finish line. No moment where everything clicks. Just a quiet morning where you read something from six weeks ago and realise the effort level has dropped while the quality of the thing has held. That's what it looks like.https://journalingwrite.wordpress.com/2026/05/15/this-is-what-building-looks-like/

So, I’ve got some important stuff to do and I took my #Elvanse (#Lisdexamfetamine) to get the energy boost to actually do it.
As a result I am now using #AI to generate #songs from @UncleDuke1969 posts instead. 🙄
Listen to ‘Surprisingly Alive’ here: https://cdn.musegen.ai/music/1772701077505_29d4a5db8ee744a29abac5d8ebfbba00.mp3
Based upon: https://universeodon.com/@UncleDuke1969/116125632863469280
(Maybe someone could write a bot to do that, because Uncle Duke’s songs are amazing!)

Vincent Kapoor scene. Annie Montrose saying "I hate everyone of you." Ah yes, council of Elrond. "Because it's a secret meeting." Boromir as Flight Director. Who else was in the movie? *my brain showing flashcards of the actors' faces* wait, what? Was that the Winter Soldier?
Googling it...
No way! 🤦♀️ 🤯From the series: Another day with my #adhdbrain

@iamada Be me.
Prepare a pill dispenser for #39c3 so you don’t forget a) to take your meds and b) that you already took it.
Remember to put it in your bag, as it is no good, if you forget it on the kitchen table!
On day 2, discover that you brought the wrong dispenser and that the one containing any meds is still sitting on your kitchen table.

I’m tired, my #SocialBattery is completely discharged, my #adhd prevents me from listening to any thing.
I go back to my hotel roo… wait a minute, there is a level 4? And it is a chill floor?!

Check your #SocialBattery and show it to others! At the #QuietCube they have these nifty 3D printed indicators. Highly recommended if you need to budget your #spoons.

I have just completed a task that I have been #procrastinating for WEEKS. I was already past my deadline and it started giving me bad sleep.
It took me exactly 17 minutes.
Do I learn anything from this experience? Of course not. I will behave exactly the same next time I have a dreaded task. 😥

"ADHD and negative self focus
For many individuals with #ADHD, the reality is more complex than just inattention. The opposite is often true: an extreme, poorly controlled fixation on distressing topics.
We call this the Negative Self-Focus."

I just saw a #Petite #ULTRA400 #typewriter in a #thriftstore. This is a #toy for children, not a real typewriter. But, as one did in the late 70s to mid 80s, they build it completely functional! It types in CAPS only, but it types. Almost completely made out of plactic this is the 1980 counterpart to an ultra portable notebook or the old iPad you give to your kids. I am SO tempted to buy it...

Funny that this is a thing (although I do it quite often (not as often as in the example (which is really far-fetched)))

#AdhdBrain hunting hard for dop.
My soundtrack to the walk home jumped from
DnB Mandidextrous, AC/DC Hells Bells, Xmas Deutschland Incubus Succubus, Witch Changing, The Exploited Dead Cities to Morning Sun by Al Barry. I wonder which one my internal brain radio will be playing when I wake up tomorrow?
