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/

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/

Депрессия, СДВГ, тревожность и аутизм в мемах. Тред.
«СДВГ - этот когда у тебя есть отличная идея и затем»

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. :)

You know that whole thing where you finally organise your house properly and everything gets put away neatly and you think it's absolutely fantastic until you need something and you can't find it? Yeah.

Moje życie składa się z poszarpanych fragmentów, które utrzymuję razem nieustającym wysiłkiem woli. Często muszę poszczególne części odszukać w bardzo odległych miejscach. Co sprawia, że ta szczególna kombinacja smaków, barw, słów i działań ma kształt, w którym odnajduję siebie? Nie umiem tego powiedzieć. #adhdlife

Every so often I remember that I own a hot glue gun, and my crafting life improves dramatically until I forget it exists again.
DIY projects are probably much easier for folks who can remember things exists inside drawers and/or boxes.

I have just had occasion to use this sentence in a group chat and thought I would share my great wisdom with the assembled fediversians.
"I often use my shawl pin to wrap a blanket around my shoulders like a cape. Blanket cape superhero nonsense is a great way to get annoying tasks completed"
Then it isn't me doing the boring task, it is a superhero to the rescue and the novelty bumps my ADHD into action

Oh that lovely moment when, after being exhausted all day, the brain suddenly says, “so what if it’s 9:30? We could bake some cookies!!”

Me: “I’m fine.”

My brain is ping-ponging all over the place today, making it very difficult to settle down and post something. Say anything. I swear, I took my ADHD meds, and yet, I do not at all feel as if I did. My train of thought derailed before I even got out of bed, I swear. #ADHDlife

I've been working on updating my bibliography page on my professional website. It's better, but still in flux. I'll post when I've got it all figured out and it's finalized. Meanwhile, please excuse the mess while I renovate!
At least I'm working on it... been on the to-do list for a few weeks now... #ADHDlife #writinglife

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
