  1. I recently realised I have this horrible thing where I'll have a thought about something (it could be as simple as wanting to mention something during a conversation but holding off) and immediately moving on to another thought. Moments later I get all anxious thinknig there was something I was worried about and then spend the next several minutes thingking there's something I'm supposed to be worried about.
    Please tell me I'm not alone in this!

  2. As someone who's been against taking recreational drugs all my life, taking speed to act like a 'normal person' was not on my lifetime achievements bingo card.

  3. ADHD is...

    Losing my keys the second I put them down, yet still knowing every lyric and note to the Fresh Prince theme song.

  4. Now that I've got the recipe down, it's time to start making fidget cubes in earnest! Making a silver one to match the gold one, and more rings will be on the way soon. Coming to my store soon!

  5. "Out of sight, out of mind" is so unfortunste aspect of ADHD because life has so many aspects that can't be kept in sight all the time.

    People, projects, tasks, ideas, hobbies, plans, items you shouls buy from grocery store, all go ln the same equal list of "If I can't see it RIGHT NOW, I am physically unable to remember it exists."

    It isn't malicious. Or a sign of not caring.
    It is brain unable to work neurotypically.

  6. Psychiatry is a sham and I hate that I need it to get my legalised speed.

    $175 for a ten minute appointment to go "yes hi I need my speed thank you!"

    (I don't think psychiatry is a sham, I'm being sarcastic, and I will block anyone on sight in my comments who thinks you can cure neurological disorders with naturopath stuff)

  7. My mood has noticeably lifted after my #adhd diagnosis earlier this week. The initial relief has given way to a watchful recognition of daily situations such as "oh, this is my adhd talking" which I find refreshing and helpful. Guess I'm just a bit #euphoric still. #adultadhd #findingmypath #betterlatethannever

  8. So much of ADHD can be boiled down to "I'll just"...

    I'll just be a minute!

    I'll just finish this thing I do which I love and is neverending, then move on to that urgent task.

    I'll just leave this here for now.

    I'll just call them later.

    I'll just put on my all-is-fine mask.

  9. It’s Friday, which shouldn’t be a special day but it is because I haven’t built that life I don’t need to escape from yet.

    What’s one good thing that happened to you this week, my #ADHD peeps?

    I got off my butt to work on a #TedLasso tshirt design because I don’t like the cookie cutter designs out there. I just want something nice & retro so I might as well make it myself. Being creative & solving creative problems is food for my soul.

    What about you?

  10. Hey fediverse: I’ve launched my #adhd #blog!

    I’ve been obsessed w/ building & designing it for 2w now. Finally wrote the About page & a welcome post and realized that I should probably tell people about it.

    My intention for it: process my adhd.

    I’m 50 & a #LateDiagnosis #ADHDer and have known about it for just over a year. But we moved to a new state and I haven’t had time to really process until now.

    Please ck it out so I don’t feel alone 😆

  11. Part 13 of @AndrewWSEN's ANDREW AND THE MAGIC GIVEASHITOMETER.

    Road Rage, parts 1 & 2, or: When you're highly #impulsive, it can be very very very difficult not to exacerbate a conflict situation. Andrew has learned how not to.

    "All that meticulous planning and I had forgotten to put on my trousers"

  13. Tried to spell "waiting mode", spelled "eating mode" instead and you know what? Valid.

    I am fat, I eat, and munchies do get bad when in a mode. Only true words were spoken today.

  14. #WhoAmIWednesday - Disabled, Neurodiverse & Queer.

    I wasn’t sure I should post this story. In fact, I'm still not sure. As I get ready to press the Toot button, my heart rate is increasing, my head is spinning & I feel like I am going to have a panic attack.

    But you can’t be what you can’t see. You can’t raise awareness if people don’t know you exist!
    So here it is, one of the most personal stories I have shared to date.

  15. Hi Mastodon, I’m UK based and about to start pursuing an adult ADHD assessment because… many reasons. I’m literally at the stage where my life is being impacted on several fronts and I’ve realised that this might be the reason for several persistent difficulties I’ve experienced. I’ve started writing down things, and am planning to go to my GP in the new year (terrified!) what do I need to know? Grateful for any advice specific to navigating this in a UK/NHS context #adhd #adhduk #adultadhd

  16. Part 8 of Andrew Whitehouse's remarkable, essential ANDREW AND THE MAGIC GIVEASHITOMETER.

    "Never underestimate #adhd survival skills."

    Beautiful bit about tapping into your inner #SaulGoodman.

  18. There are more chapters to come. I'll post them when the mood strikes me and I remember. In the meantime, check out Andrew Whitehouse's amazing YouTube channel and ask him to join us on #Mastodon! He's a great guy with a great message.

  19. Part 10 of Andrew Whitehouse's superb ANDREW AND THE MAGIC GIVEASHITOMETER. If you are #neurodiverse, please listen to this. It's brilliant.

    If you are NOT neurodiverse, please listen to this. It's actually MORE important for you than for us. And it's pretty damn important for us.

    "Memory, for #ADHD people, is notoriously intermittent."

  20. Part 9 of Andrew Whitehouse's remarkable, essential ANDREW AND THE MAGIC GIVEASHITOMETER.

    Huge takeaway here. Most children -- most people -- cannot be categorized under a single heading. You cannot pigeonhole human beings. We are each unique.

  21. Part 7 of Andrew Whitehouse's
    moving, unforgettable narrative on growing up with #adhd, ANDREW AND THE MAGIC GIVEASHITOMETER.

    "Sources of Tedium."

    Possibly the funniest chapter in the book. He's a gifted writer...not just a retired rock'n'roll frontman.

  23. Part 4 of the life-changing, light-shining audiobook on adult #adhd, ANDREW AND THE MAGIC GIVEASHITOMETER.

    Impulsivity is not a character flaw.

  24. Part Three of Andrew Whitehouse's ANDREW AND THE MAGIC GIVEASHITOMETER, a brave and moving personal examination of adult #adhd.

    "Listening to people is difficult for me."

    This is not a moral failing.

    This is how our brains work.

    We're trying.

    Sometimes we succeed.

  25. Part Two of ANDREW AND THE MAGIC GIVEASHITOMETER,
    Andrew Whitehouse's revelatory exploration of adult #ADHD.

    Required reading (listening) if you've ever been told you have no feelings.

    That bit made me cry, so I guess I must have feelings.

    Bless him, he wrote it one chapter a day. #adhdmastodon #ADHDAwareness #adultadhd
