The bill buried under everything on your desk. The subscription you forgot to cancel for six months. The late fee you didn't see coming. The item you bought twice because you couldn't find the first one.
That's the ADHD tax. And it adds up to real money and real stress other people don’t have.

When the Old Version of You Pulls Back
Progress has a pull in both directions. The better things start going, the harder the pull back towards old patterns tends to be. This isn't failure. It's not proof the work doesn't work. It's the oldest version of you reasserting itself. And it deserves a proper response.https://journalingwrite.wordpress.com/2026/05/08/when-the-old-version-of-you-pulls-back/

The Step Didn’t Fix It. That’s Fine.
You took the step. Nothing dramatic happened. No clarity arrived. It felt more or less the same as before. That's not a sign the direction was wrong. That's what a real step looks like when the imagined version gets stripped away. The anticlimax is part of it.https://journalingwrite.wordpress.com/2026/05/04/the-step-didnt-fix-it-thats-fine/

The Step You Keep Almost Taking
You know what the next move is. You've written it down. You've seen it across your journal entries. You keep almost making it. This isn't about fear or laziness. It's about waiting for readiness that only ever comes through the step itself. So make the step smaller.https://journalingwrite.wordpress.com/2026/04/30/the-step-you-keep-almost-taking/

A Warm, Grounding, and Encouraging Guide for Job Interviews: Preparing Calmly, Confidently, and Successfully ----
Job interviews can feel especially challenging when you have ADHD. Difficulties with focus, impulsivity, or sensory sensitivities can make interviews feel overwhelming and exhausting.

Morning musing....
I sometimes get very frustrated with myself because I find a new shiny idea and go wholeheartedly after it, and then eventually, inevitably, I drop it. I don't remember it, I get out of practice. I still care about it, but it just isn't part of my everyday awareness.
But you know what? Regardless of whether it's dropped out of my daily repertoire, I still have that skill set/interest/knowledge in the back of my head. It's like I just archived it or shelved it. It's still there. When I need it, when I want it, I can still use what I learned from that time of being interested. So it's really not a flaw, it's just a very wide-ranging library in my head. :)

Neurodivergence can be a strength, not just a challenge 🌟. Understanding how environments and support systems affect daily life is key.

Did you know brain scans like fNIRS can actually show how your brain works in real-time? This technology is being used to study ADHD, autism, anxiety, and more! Tag a friend who might find this fascinating!

I love how I said to my mum "I think you found me so energetic because we're finally getting there with the methadone dosage" and she managed to answer "you always say that and then go back to sleeping too much" yes because you're doing something that get you burned out as an abled person, how am I, a disabled person, supposed to follow on a month long run? #mentalhealth #disability #disabled #audhd #adhd #adhdlife #autism #lifewithdisability #mentalillness #methadone #methadon

My mother told me I was annoying because I put ugly ass labels on beautiful tea boxes.
I agree but how is anyone else supposed to know what is inside them (knowing it's my main tea organisation tool)? I've been unable to ask someone else's to do a specific tea for like six months maybe I'm tired? 😭 I also don't remember everything 😭 #tea #teadrinking #TeaDrinker #teadrinkers #TeaLover #tealovers #teaenthusiasts #teacollection #teaproblems #adhdlife #adhdproblems -

A weeks ago I accidentally left my meds in the car. The hot, hot car. In the middle of summer.
And it's *very* clear the effect this has had on them.
I have been at my least effective/productive and most tired for a week now, and it's killing me.
I've wasted more time in a week than at least the previous couple months.
And not wasted on relaxing or enjoying life - wasted on things that brought little joy or rest. Pure crap!
Another week until the next appointment.

I've looked up what I thought the length of my sessions be at the beginning when I'm not in a frenzy and they say it's ideal for kids around 12 because they don't have the attention span. I am 26 but I have adhd does this count. #piano #pianobeginner #pianolearning #music #ADHD #adhdlife

I am not alive, yet wish to cease,
I dwell in minds, a silent release.
Invisible presence, weight you can't see,
What am I, that longs to not be?What am I?
Answer is exactly what I hate about most days it seems...

Who wants to find some undiscovered land and build a colony with me? This life ain't it. A place where everyone helps each other out and money is irrelevant.

Random question for anyone interested, has anyone read or heard about the hunter-gatherer theory regarding ADHD traits? Recently stumbled upon it and read some into it and it's rather pretty interesting.

All these apps that are supposed to help you manage adhd by logging activities and making lists - how is that even supposed to work? A couple shopping lists a week and 3-4 workouts logged and that’s it, I’m out of extra cognitive capacity #ADHD #ADHDLife #ADHDSupport

My work let me stim with my #kalimba during intense reflexion and breaks, it has helped so much that for the first time in months I finished a morning of working on a document without anxiety, headaches and I didn't even check the time. They are very open and really want me to feel good during work 🥺 #AuDHD #ADHD #Autism #adhdlife #neurodivergent #work #disabledworkers

Things I discovered by embracing my "weirdness" and stopping masking as much as I used too (to the point I erased my personality), a #thread for other #audhder #audhd #audhdadult #autistic #neurodivergent #neurodivergents folks and myself mostly
PS: you might not fond yourself in any of these and that's okay!
